Yes! Tongue-twister

 Yes Julie, I've just bought some yellow wellies.

These "wellies" are sold by the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (sea rescue service in the UK)

Yes, yellow use the semi-vowel symbolised in phometics with /j/.
It's a soft sound with no friction in it. Contrast with the j in just and Julie, pronounced /ʤ/ as in judge.
