For those with more questions about pronouncing and , I recommend the video about these consonants over on 10 minute Spanish which goes into more depth. - there is a third form of pronunciation called "el-ye", it is very uncommon which is probably why Ana didn't mention it. El-ye is not recommended for learning and likely you would be given strange stares or seen as mocking if you used it, to a native speaker. - The "sh" form, from the Rioplatense (sic) dialect covers about 1/4th of the Latin American Spanish speaking regions and some parts of Andalucía in South Spain. Especially Argentina. The "fricative y" is most common and recommended for learning. - even when pronounced correctly, ll may still sound like the English y. Because we are used to hearing what we expect to hear, so without practice we can miss the subtleties of the sound. - if you are still unsure of how to get the correct sound, start with English y but with the tongue in the correct position for ll, as explained by Ana and 10 minute Spanish. Once you get used to the fricative phoneme, you can work towards an exact ll sound. - a good practice is to listen to lots of Spanish audio with a variety of accents. So as well as the examples by Ana, search for other KZbin examples, and also for audio books, listen to live television, movie and TV dubbings and so on. Lingualism have several live recordings of Latin American Spanish speakers, actual people, talking about their lives and experiences which I have found very useful. Also Disney movies have Latin American Spanish Dubbings which are highly rated by native speakers. - good luck, and remember to practice every day!

"LL" is changing its sound from /ʎ/ to /j~ʝ~ɟʝ/ and even native speakers are a little bit unsure of which one they do, but it's actually a mix of the three. As for "Y": - It's a vowel (/i/) if it's alone ("Ana y María") or it's behind another vowel ("hoy, soy, voy, nanay, rey"). - It's an approximant (/j/) if it's the first vowel in a diphthong ("viuda, ciudad, historia"). but in this case just read it as a standard "i" and you'll get it. - And it's a voiced palatal fricative (/ʝ/) at the start of a syllable. On the onset of a word it can be a voiced palatal Affricative (/ɟʝ/). In this case it alternates between /j/ and /ʝ/ depending on the speaker, but it usually sounds a little bit stronger than the English "y" in "yes". The "LL" is merging with "Y" (when it plays the role of an approximant or a fricative, never when "y" is a vowel), so just read it like an "y". Remember that one thing is the phonetic symbol for the palatal approximant (/j/) that sounds like "i" and another thing is the Spanish letter j (jota) or the English j. The Spanish "jota" sounds stronger than the English "h", though is kinda approximated. In Spanish, "H h" is ALWAYS silent, no exceptions. "Haber" reads "/a'ber/" not "/ha'ber/".

But yeah, H's from other languages, like German or English, may not be that silent. "Sahara (the African desert)" is another example. Pero tampoco creo que haya muchos.

Actually, Y and LL can have different sounds in some varieties, but in general they produce the same sound. The sound can vary depending on the region, from Y as in English yellow, to J as in Jack, or something in between, to SH, as in shower (in Argentina and Uruguay). In the cases, where it is pronounced Y in regular speech can become something more like J (as in Jack) in emphatic speech (like when you are making a point)--most of the people I know in northern Mexico speak that way, although academics (like the speaker here) may try to pronounce it emphatically all the time.

@@Bobbbbbyhigh Both are correct, although some regions will use one more than the other. I pronounce it like y in yard, like German or Slavic j, as in ja or Jan, and this is common in northern Mexico, including by those who speak no English. Sometimes in emphatic speech, we exaggerate this sound and it may sound like dy, like Serbian dj, as in Djordje, or like BR Portuguese d in dia or dinheiro. In other countries or in very formal context (like an old school politician giving a speech) this dy sound becomes more common. Honestly, if you use dy or y, few people will notice, as it will even be variable from speaker to speaker. If you are ENG or German speaker just use y, and simplify your life. Unless you are living in ARG or URU, there make it SH. Sho no sé si shegó--that's how it it sounds there, and there is no difference in emphatic speech.

@carlosteran10237 жыл бұрын
"ll" in Spanish sounds like "sion" only in Argentina (and usually only in rioplatenese; the dialect that originates in the areas around Buenos Aires). In many countries in Central America (including Mexico) and the Caribbean the "ll" sounds more the "y" in "your". Both of these pronunciations are termed yeismo. However, not all Spanish speakers have adopted yeismo. My family is from Bolivia and there "ll" is pronounced like the "ll" in "millon". Any of the three pronunciations will be understood by a Spanish speaker, but, if you notice, I said people adopted yeismo. The "ll" pronunciation like in "million" would be considered the most proper to the Castillian language (as opposed to Galician or Catalan; otherwise known as Spanish) because that is the way it was pronounced in the historically Castillian areas of the Iberian peninsula. Yeismo is something that developed over time and space; both because it is simply easier to drop the "ll" sound for the "y" sound, and because as the Castillian language expanded some speakers adopting it could not distinguish between "ll" and "y". Interestingly, if you look at the map on the link below, you'll notice that in the Americas "ll" is concentrated in the Andes highlands and Paraguay. Some people propose the "ll" was conserved in these areas because the indigenous populations were an integral part of society there and the "ll" existed in those languages when they adopted Castillian. Equally interesting, at least in La Paz, is that the local indigenous language, Aymara, has no "rr" and you will often hear people pronounce "rr" as "z" or as "r" instead of "rr". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye%C3%ADsmo

It's a tad frustrating that 'll' or el-yeh seems to be pronounced differently in words than as part of the alphabet. Why does one not say 'padilya'? I've also noticed that when 'll' is at the beginning of a word, it seems to be said with a stronger 'j' sound, llamas - (j)amas, and with more of a 'y' or 'ly' sound when it's at the end of a word, tortilla - torti(y)a. So, should 'll' be pronounced in the same way no matter where it features in the word?

Hi, Lidya. Pardon for the interference and, if the teacher Ana allows it to me, and that she corrects me if I am wrong, It is said *muchas gracias* [thank you very much] [or only *gracias* (thank you)] without mattering if it is to a man or to (several) men or to a woman or to women and, even, to a group of men and women. It is *muchas* and not *muchos* because the word *gracias* [thank(s) you] is feminine. In general, the nouns or the masculine words end with the letter *o* (vowel) if it is singular and, if it is plural, end in *os* ; for example, el *gato* [cat], el *carro* or el *auto* [car] in singular, and los *gatos* [cats], los *autos* [cars], in plural, respectively. The words are feminine when they end in *a* (vowel), if it is singular and, if it is plural finished in *as* ; for example the words la *gracia* , la *mesa* , la *casa* ,etc. in singular and, las *gracias*, las *mesas*, las *casas* etc., if they are in plural. But also many masculine words end in *e* (vowel) or in *es* if it is plural; for example *hombre* and *hombres* [man and men], respectively. The word *agua* [water] actually it is feminine for which the article would correspond it is *la*, but one prefers the masculine article *el* (el agua) in order that both equal vowels *a* are not joined: *la agua* . And this way it is equal for the feminine words that they begin with *a*, for example: el alma, el arca, el arte, etc. [soul, ark, art, etc.] and not la alma, la arca, la arte, etc.

Antuàn Reynoso Thank you for clearing up the el agua! I took Spanish 101 about 12 years ago and am trying to give myself a refresher course at home. I had completely forgotten about the feminine words beginning with A. Thanks!

you did not explain why spanish 'Y' is differently prounounced in words: 1.YO (in english is kinda like 'soft J)..= "JO" 2 HOY is not "OJ" but.. english "OYE" 3 Y vivo ,again not" Je vivo" not "Yeh vivo" , but kinda like "EE VIVO" so I see 3 diffrent ways to pronounce "Y" as "Jeh" or "Yeh" or "EE", am I right?

dinamikanada4x4 also, if you travel, you'll hear other versions. In my country they're pronounced zh or sh (zh is like s in measure). I also know Spaniards who say ll as ly (sorta like lie in caliente) and y like in English.
@tenienteramires44285 жыл бұрын
Y and LL are pronounced like an English J only before a vowel in the same word, never at the end of a word. By the way, the officialy recomended names are "elle" and "ye"

+gottlos7 no I get that, it's the pronunciation of both that I don't. From my observation sometimes it sounds like English J, sometimes like English Y. and I don't get how it could be in between these two sounds.

+Fiona Chan don't worry about that. just make sure your pronunciation is similar to this one (press listen button) translate.google.com/#es/es/ya%20ye%20yi%20yo%20yu best way to know if your pronunciation of YA YE YI YO YU is correct is if you ask a native speaker. maybe if you upload an audio of yourself just saying YA YE YI YO YU we can tell you.

+Fiona Chan Hi Fiona. IT may sound strange but yes sometimes we pronounce the "LL" or "Y" as the English "J" but it mainly happens when we speak fast or when to enunciate something but dondt worry because its the same thing.Sometimes you might hear Me llamo other times it might sound Me Jamo.Its the same thing.
@mauronicolasmodicaposse43475 жыл бұрын
@@FionaChan just don't make it as strong as J. It's like the sound you make in S with the word "pleasure". Actually, every Spanish speaking country has a different sound for LL and Y. Even in the same country we have some differences, and EVEN in the same city we have differences. I'm from Argentina, and I hear people who pronunce Y and LL as a SH, others pronunce them as Y in YEAR, and we have another sound which is difficult to explain in this comment, but it's very used in the north of Argentina, north of Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador; it's like the GL in Italian or the LH in Portuguese. I may have confused you more, haha but it's just for you to know that we have many different sounds for the same letter and we understand each other.

I find it's very helpful that you teach different pronunciations because spanish is spoken in so many countries around the world that knowing how the same word might sound somewhere else will let you understand many more people :-)

There is a Spanish teacher at my school telling kids to pronounce the Ll in llamo with an English "j" sound in the beginning. I was taught to say it with the English "y" sound. How should she be teaching it. "Jamo" sounds really bad to me compared to "yamo" aka llamo.
@ijansk8 жыл бұрын
+Sara Esquivel Originally, 'll' and 'y' are different sounds in Spanish. 'Ll' sounds similar to 'j' in English just softer in Spanish. Nowadays most people pronounce both as 'y'.
@EddyGraphic8 жыл бұрын
Yamo would be the correct 1
@leonardosandoval90997 жыл бұрын
Use either. The "Y" sound can be hear between vowels ans the strong "J" sound after consonants or a pause: "allanar" /ayanar/, "conllevar" /conjeßar/, "dos llamas" /dos jamas/, "la llama" /la yama/.... despite my pronouncing «LL» different than «y-» and «hi-»: «hierba», «yerba» and «Lleras» have different initial sounds for me: /yerßba/, /jerßa/ and palatally /ʎeras/.
