What is the best way to spell Hanukkah?

Answer 1

H- is said with a rasp (though less of a rasp than the "ch" in German)
A- like the "a" in "father"
N- as the letter N is pronounced in the English language
U- like the "u" in "rule"
KK- like the "kk" in "bookkeeping"
A- like the "a" in "father"
H- silent

Answer 2

To most people, the two accepted spellings are Chanukah, and Hanukkah, the difference being that if you use a "ch," there is only one "k," whereas if you use an "h," you must use 2 "k"s.

In Hebrew, Chanukah begins with the letter "chet," which makes a rasping sound similar to an imitation of a lion. It is usually spelled out as "ch" in transliteration. The letter that makes an "h" sound (hei) is slightly different. Therefore, phonetically, it is slightly more correct to use the first spelling, but both are acceptable and recognized as the same thing.
