Pronunciation of LL in Venezuela, Amazonas State?


Travel Info
In Amazonas, is LL pronounced like J like in Argentina?

Travel Tips
LL is pronounced like the Y in Yam. In your example, it is used like a J, but be cautious because other G words will sound out differently.

LLaves (keys) Pronounced Ya-vez
LLema (yolk) Pronounced Ye-ma
medeLLin (a city in Colombia) Pronounced me-de-Yin
LLorar (cry) Pronounced Yor-rar
LLuvia (rain) Pronounced Yu-via

I hope this clarifies things.
