I have had debates before over the actual Spanish pronunciation of the word "Yo". I have been told, from those that supposedly know, that in Spain it is pronounced kind of like the english "Joe", maybe kind of with a "zh" sound like in "Asiago" - "Zho"... but a lot of people insist that it's just regular ol' "Yo"... settle it for me?
Let's see. We, Spanish people, pronounce "yo" like English "Joe" (yes, I think is the most similar pronuntiation). But there is in the world a lot of people from other nation that speak Spanish too, and they pronounce some letter in a different way than us, for example Argentine people, who they, certainly, pronounce "yo" like "zho".

Are you Dave studing Spanish?

I'm studing English by my own but you can see I'm not very good on that
