Never been difficult for me, but for a non-native speaker I suspect it might be somewhat hard, especially since English-speaking people can't even agree on the correct pronunciation.

There is the BBC announcer pronounciation (4 syllables) and the man in the street pronounciation (3 syllables).

Hey, aginor, just drop this phone and use a true computer. If you don't have one, borrow the one of your friends/family.

I've always used the 4-syllable version. I see no reason to remove two letters from the word just to make it easier to pronounce. "Literature" is a very phonetically descriptive word, a mature and stately word, and I would like to keep it just as it is.

I think that 'pronunciation' is much harder to pronounce (and spell) than 'literature'...
