More useful stuff from the site:
Y -> when alone, or after a vowel, or followed by a consonant, or at the end of a word, is a vowel, and sounds as e or ee in English: Hoy y mañana (today and tomorrow), o’-e ee mah-nyah’-nah
Y -> before a vowel in the same syllable, or between two vowels in the same word, is a consonant, and sounds like the English y in the words yard, yell, you

"Y" by itself means "and". It is pronounced like the English "e".

it can be, because some people will say it like an english j or ch sound, but those ways aren't proper, they just kind of happen - unMica, Aug 23, 2011
I've heard a soft "J" sound, too. Ayuda pronounced "Ajuda"... :) - pesta, Aug 23, 2011
