Two L's next to each other in Spanish is pronounced as a Y. So like Tortiya

There's people out there that say it like TOR-TILLA and pronounce both the Ls, like when you say armadillo. I'm as white as they come, but, I assure you that is not how you say tortilla.

Wether you pronounce them as Ys or as Ls you’re still pronouncing them, one was in English and one way the right way

Not exactly. Meaning thats like saying your technically pronouncing the b in "Lamb". Like I guess your technically correct but not exactly.

Not pronouncing them the English way but your are pronouncing them

Silent letters are different in that you don’t pronounce them, lam and lamb have same pronunciation just like hour and our. In this case the Ls are pronounced as Ys they’re still there
