How do you pronounce chocolate?

Today is International Chocolate Day! 🍫🍫🍫

….well, so the US says. We celebrate it on Milton S. Hershey’s birthday, September 11th. (In Europe, they celebrate on July 7th to commemorate when chocolate was introduced there from the New World.)

In any case, I recorded a video talking about the pronunciation of chocolate. Do you pronounce it with two syllables or three?

More importantly - will you understand it when you hear it pronounced with only two syllables (and with a reduced second syllable)?

In the video, I demonstrate the difference between the two, so that you can hear the difference.

Enjoy! And let me know what sweet treat you’ll be having today!
