Pronunciation of the letter LL in Spanish
Unlike English, Spanish has a double L letter combination: LL.
In most countries, people will pronounce the LL like the English letter "Y" in the word "yes."
Note: There are regional differences. You might hear some Spanish speakers from.....pronounce the LL closer to a "J" like in the English word "journey." In Argentina, you'll hear people pronounce the LL like the "Sh" in the English word "show."
