Pronunciation

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!
