La Doble Ele ‘LL’:
I’d like to show you 4 different pronunciation differences for the double L in Spanish.
Número 1 – Number 1: /SH/
The first way to pronounce the “LL” in Spanish is with a /sh/ sound, as when you’re trying to silence someone, and you cross your lips with your index finger, quite like the nurses do it in a hospital urging people to keep quiet.
We use this way to pronounce the ‘LL’ in Argentina, most specifically in Buenos Aires and Santa Fé and Uruguay.
Por ejemplo:
– Me llamo María /meh shamoh maria/ (My name is Maria)
-Lluvia /shuveeah/
-Llaves /shahbehs/
