How do you pronounce 'slalom'?

I'm 14 and clueless.....


Inline-skating slalom rocks!

How do you pronounce 'slalom'?
It is pronounced the way it's written, basically sla lom.





The "sla" sound is close to the "sla" in slander, but not as hard, more like an "aa" sound.





The "lo" sound is close to the "lo" in lobby. And then you just go "m". :-)





It's based on the Norwegian word slalÄm, a language of which I am a native speaker.
Reply:I've always heard it pronounced SLAH-lum
Reply:Maryn is correct.





Also could be "slaw lum", emphasis on the first syllable.
Reply:sla-lom as in sir-lom

Reply:just as it,s spelled but with the accent on the a = slAlom
Reply:SLAH-lum





The "ah" sound rhymes with "bra."
