Re: Pronunciation of Juliet?

JOO-lee-et/ JOO-lee-yet)
I definitely don't repeat the L sound on both syllables. I could see pronouncing it JOOL-ee-et/ JOOL-ee-yet with the L sound on the first syllable rather than the second, but repeating the L sound sounds very strange (and difficult) to me unless I say it really slowly.

The L sound isn't repeated. I had no idea this would be so difficult to get across to people. I guess I just slur the L so it ends one syllable and begins the next one more smoothly. My mother stops more abruptly after the first syllable without a L sound at all.
Again, wish this could have been a voice post.
