It's odd... This is distinctly what I was taught at school......

Can you make out the words they’re pronouncing like that?

What you were taught is correct. Sometimes people are lazy in pronouncing things.

For example, I recorded the UCL Quarter and Semi Finals on Spanish (Mexican) language TV in the US. One of the announcers kept pronouncing Llorente Jorente with a very strong J sound (J English sound). I totally understood what he was saying, but the pronunciation struck me as odd.

By the way, I am a native Spanish speaker, and my last name has ll in it.
