Hola,
Me llama Daniela y estoy aprendiendo español porque voy al Guatemala en noviembre. And that is the first Spanish sentence I ever wrote. I don't know any future tenses yet, but sort of makes sense?
Anyways I just started learning Spanish a week ago and I have a couple of question regarding pronunciation in 1.8. Especially regarding the ll sound. I always thought pollo was pronounced 'po-i-o' rather than 'posho'? Is that an accent thing or was I always wrong?
On the same note in that lesson Mauricio pronounced 'Yo' as 'sho' and in other lessons it's called 'io'. Help?
Gracias!

well I will tell you this the double Ls "LL" is pronounced like a y. for example
llamo- (Ya-mo)

Ll is usually pronounced as a y. for example - Me llamo (Meh yamo). But is sometimes pronounced as a mix between y and J.
Yo is pronounced as it looks, usually. But it is sometimes pronounced as a mix between y and J.
Hope this helps!
Buena suerte con tu español!
