how do you pronounce 'there're'?
Use the "th" sound as in then or...there.(!) And "ur" as in cur or fur. And "er" as in lure. Thurer. Sometimes ther-er.
I actually hear it and say it fairly often.

Thur?! I'd pronounce it <thairur> with the stress on the first syllable and the second syllable kinda like Jackie's first syllable. This is pretty much the way Nuncle z spelled it.

Obviously, as in the General American contraction there're. But seriously, Ron, /ðɝ/ is pretty much there and /ɚ/ is the rhotacized vowel of bird. I calculate that I give it about 1.5 syllables.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Just like it's spelled.
That is one of the advantages of learning the IPA and using it rather than an ad hoc phony logical English spelling derived "system". I was talking about accents once with a non-linguist friend, and he asserted that he did not have one: he spoke "just like in the dictionary". The jig is up, and yet it reels.
