"l" and "ll"  


Pronunciation

In Spanish, the letter l is pronounced exactly as in English. The letter ll is pronounced similar to the letter "y" in English.

Note: The word "hay" is used to express existence. The sentence "Hay luna." Would translate directly to English as "There is moon." Since this sounds awkward, we translate it as "The moon is out." so that it sounds more natural to us in English.
