How is the word "brochure" pronounced?
The "o" sounds like the "oa" in "oat", "boat", and "goat". The following "ch" is pronounced like the "sh" in "should", "ship", and "sharp". The final "ure" sounds like the "er" in "her" and "herd". The main stress is on the first syllable. This is how the British pronounce the word. The Americans, on the other hand, pronounce the "ure" like the "ure" in "sure", "cure" and "pure". They tend to put the stress on the second syllable. A "brochure" is a booklet containing information about something.
*We want to bring out a brochure for the upcoming seminar.
