'senzillo' would be pronounced "Sehn-see-yoh" or, in Castellano "sen-thee-yoh" because the castillian dialect differentiates between the spelling "s" and "Z" (in Central and South America, they are pronounced the same) and the "Z" phoneme is pronounced as a TH in "with".
Actually, in Castilian, it would be pronounced "sen-thee-lyo." Admittedly, the Latin-American pronunciation in wh. there is no difference betw. ll and y is making inroads in Spain itself, but the original, special pronunciation of ll is the reason why it is considered a single letter.
This brings up a further question though: I was taught that rr is also considered a single letter. So: "pe-rro cos-ta-rri-cen-se"? I confess that looks odd to me.
