Hi there!
The short answer is yes!
There are some variations in the pronunciation between different countries. Some cultures pronounce these letters like a Y (as in "yesterday") in English, others pronounce it more as a hard J (as in "juice"), and others (Argentina, for example) pronounce it almost like a SH (as in "shine").
Hope that helps!
Warm regards,
Alissa G.
