This Greek word has five syllables and looks intimidating, but it's pretty much just pronounced how it's spelled. The main difference is that the "g" is silent. The emphasis is on the middle syllable (avgolemono). Let's break it down: avgo: pronounced avo, like the first part of avocado lem: pronounced like the first syllable of lemon ono: pronounced like oh no! To hear it in action, here is a clip of a Greek chef saying it out loud.
