No. This is Spanish pronunciation. Brazilian _J-_ sounds like

So it's a kind of "ZHOO-lee-ah", I guess?
Yes - whatever ZH means :-)
Generally the English transcription of the "soft j"... appears in
english as 'z's and 's's and 'g's in a few weird places like measure and
garbage, thanks to the language's wide and far borrowing.
(IPA symbol is the "3"-looking soft Z, usually transcribed into ASCII as
a plain Z.)
