---the number of vowels sounds left is the same as the number of syllables. The number of syllables that you hear when you pronounce a word is the same as the number of vowels sounds heard.

To find the number of syllables: ---count the vowels in the word, ---subtract any silent vowels, (like the silent e at the end of a word or the second vowel when two vowels a together in a syllable).
