That is what I always said until I started trying to complete the duolingo language training tree and they are throwing J sounds around like crazy.
One sentence you have to translate from their audio only - had llaves in it. I must have played that thing 25 times fast and slow, asked my wife, and finally wrote “ja ves” into the sentence as a guess and understandably got it wrong. I felt pretty dumb after the answer was revealed. I knew it was a noun of some sort, but the context didn’t provide much of a clue.
