    I used to say 'ana-lic-tics' however judging by the spelling I just realised that's probably wrong.

    How is it said? I've tried saying it to myself by the results don't sound correct :p

    Mon ami ...you would say it this way: "ana...lae...tics". English is a harsh language that doesn't sound nice and isn't so easy to learn or to pronounce, but it is what it is.;)

    As a native speaker, I would simply say it is pronounced as "an a lyt ics".

    I always use http://translate.google.com/ when I am not sure what the pronunciation is. Translations are not always perfect, but it is a good reading tool.

    Anna - lit - iks

    I say it like that, with the stress on the bolded part.

    Oh no...please don't tell me I've been unknowingly embarrassing myself and pronouncing it wrong for years...
