Write or type the name on a piece of paper; then use your index fingers or additional small pieces of paper to cover up parts of the name.
This first syllable is simply pronounced “her,” as in “him or her. ” Cover up the rest of her name (i. e. “-mione”) with your index finger or a small piece of paper so that you focus only on this first syllable.
Pronounce the second syllable in the same way that you say “my,” as in “my book. ” This is one of the two syllables that confuse people the most in pronouncing her name, because some people want to pronounce it as “me. ” The emphasis of the name should fall on this syllable (i. e. “Her-MY-”).
The third syllable is pronounced “uh,” as if you paused in the middle of a sentence. At this point, you should cover up the first two syllables (i. e. “Her-mi-”) and the last syllable (i. e. “-ne”).
This last syllable is pronounced “nee,” as in “kneecap. ” The first three syllables (i. e. “Her-mi-o-”) of the name should be covered up at this point.
