Hola I am a bit confsed with the pronunciation of ll. in Llegamo it sounded like Yegamo but in pollo it sounded like pojjo so do we say casedilla as casediya or casedija Necessito ayudar!

Esta ambros. En ingles "It's both". It really depends on what country or town you're from. Sorta like toMAYto or tomato. PoTAYto or Potato. Don't get hung up here. Find something that fills comfortable for you.

I think you will always be understood if you use the ya or yo sound for the double ll. Pollo=Poyo (chicken). Ella=Eya (she)

The two ll's sound like a y.

I have found the double L pronounced two ways depending on where you are or who you are talking to. If the person you are talking to is from Spain or Argentina or learned their Spanish with that influence, the double L takes on the j sound. Most others speakers from Central or South America pronounce it using the y sound. Both are acceptable and I use the y as most of the people I come into contact with do as well. Use was suits you.

I have noticed that after listening to the double ll sound in Rocket Spanish, on television, and in movies - I find myself pronouncing it both as "j" and as "y" on different occassions, and for different words. Strange, but as long as the listener understands I guess I'm OK.

hola

Hola !!

I posted a similar question... the discussion here was very helpful. Thanks to all.

I am agreeing with the people who said that there is more than one way to say it & that that depends on the country or even a section of a country. We just returned from Colombia where they speak Spanish beautifully. We spent a week in Medellin. There, they pronounce it Mede-Jean... the the American girls' name. We've spent a lot of time in Chile, as well. There, they say it both ways: ella is eyah or ejah. My two Spanish professors were from Colombia so I pronounce almost all 'll's as a soft 'j' sound like they do. Rolling 'rr's can be the same. Colombia rolls the heck out of their 'rr's while others give only one or two flips of the tongue.
