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.

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 love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

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

It's not removing two letters, it's splitting the existing word into fewer syllables, which is perfectly correct and acceptable in the 21st Century. lit-əra-ture or lit-er-a-ture ------------- What? |

I like the Northern English way of saying it where it just sounds like an odd stutter. Lit-trit-tchuh
