    Alright for a more easier experience, here it is. All cut and made into easy words.
    Floc (like flock of birds) - Cinau (See-nuh) Cini (yes ik these was mentioned in another comment but its like “scene”ry) - Hili (Hilly) - Pilifi (Pee lee fee) - Cation.
    Then do it slow at first, then gradually go faster.
    Floc - Cinau - Cini - Hili - Pilifi - Cation.
    Now, Floccinaucilihilipilification. 😎

    I find it easiest to break down by the latin
    flocci
    nauci
    nihli
    pili
    all of which stand for nothing
    -fication
    so it's basically 'quadruple nothingfication'.
    After l made the connections and chunked out the latin how it gets pronounced comes a lot easier
