The pronunciation of any word in English (or any language at all) is not Universal.  This is because there are many different dialects of The English Language — both throughout America, and also world-wide.  The pronunciations that are presented on GiveMeSomeEnglish!!! are based-upon a combination of both “common usage”, and the most neutral accent used in The International Common Tongue — a.k.a. “American English”.

Hesitate – For this word:  the “H” is pronounced audibly;  the first “e” is short;  the “s” is pronounced like the letter “z”;  the “i” is pronounced as an i-schwa;  and for the “-ate” suffix – the “a” is a True Long “A”;  the “t” is (usually) stopped;  and the final “e” is silent (this is one of two standard pronunciations of this suffix in The Common Tongue).

– /HEH-zih-tay[t]/ – /ˈhɛ.zə(ɪ).te[iː][t]/ – Notice also that the stress is on the first syllable –
