It is not pronounced the way it is done in English. It is more a 'J' than a
'Y'. But that's just me, been speaking Spanish my whole life, or just

'Y's 'young' or 'yet'. What do I know, ask the guy from New Zealand.

By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
