A teacher taught me a cool trick ages ago. Put out your index finger and hold it about an inch under your chin then say the word. Count the times your chin hits your finger and you have the syllables.

Another trick I've heard is to put your hand in front of your mouth and count the times the air coming out of your mouth hits it.

Unfortunately, I sometimes find these methods to trip me up on weird words. (For instance, on first count it seemed like squirrel was 1 syllable, the breath method pointed to 2 though.)

Two. Pa-tience
