Learning how to pronounce chipotle correctly is an important part of speaking English clearly. Chipotle (pronounced chi-POT-lay) is a type of chili pepper. The word itself is derived from the Aztec language, Nahuatl, and is a combination of two words: chil (meaning "chili") and poctli (meaning "smoked").

When saying chipotle, the emphasis should be placed on the second syllable ("POT"). The first syllable (“chi”) should be pronounced with a soft “sh” sound, while the third syllable (“lay”) should be said with a long “a” sound.

The best way to practice is to break the word into syllables and repeat it aloud. Start by saying “chi” softly, followed by “POT” with more emphasis, and then “lay” with a long “a” sound. Put it all together and say “chipotle”.

The more you practice, the more natural it will become. Once you’ve mastered the pronunciation of chipotle, you can move on to other words and phrases in English. Good luck!
