Words you cannot pronounce properly?

[Guest]

I can say pretty much anything If I try really hard.

 

"Specific" is hard for me.

 

I apparently have a bad southern accent when I say "Why?" and "No"

can't think of anything else now lol

[CT-1138 3,182]

Nihil and any variation thereof. When lever I try to pronounce it, it comes out sounding like I'm saying "knee-heil", which just makes me sound like a Nazi.

[Oblivion 20,266]

Honestly the word "world" as I have trouble pronouncing r's for some reason! 

[Cocokoru 133]

It's difficult for me to pronounce many words with “r” in english. Like rumor or flower. English dialects are impossible for me at the moment, but I really like them.

[Lucky Bolt 35,061]

I've always mispronounced the word "south" as "sowlth"  Same thing goes for other similar words, like "mouth". I don't know why but it's something I always find myself doing and at this point have stopped trying to correcting myself.

I cannot pronounce any of those UK counties names:

Hampshire
Wiltshire
Shropshire
Cheshire

 

It seems you need to be a TV presenter of Top Gear to be able to pronounce those correctly.

 

Spoiler

EDIT: I would pay money for @Treeglow Flicker to voice record her saying those

- Jewelry

- Hijab

- Choisissiez (it’s French)

[Odyssey 5,715]

It's taken me a while to realise that debut is pronounced "day-byu" and not "deh-but". Actually, most French-originating words with a silent T always seem to confuse me a bit.

Statistics. I’ve always stuttered over it so ridiculously.

Any word with the letter R in it?  i struggle to say R properly. Same for several words.. it’s Probably because in the part of the country where i live we tend to not say the end of some words lol

[ggg-2 3,552]

"Indubitably" Not that i'd ever actually use it, but i can't pronounce it

[Castle Bleck 19,310]

When it comes to mathematical terminology, "sixths" and "twelfths."

I can't make a K sound if it comes after an S, like ask or disk.

Words with As that look like they can be pronounced long or short (“tobacco” vs. “Iran”). I’ll know how to say them in my head, but if it’s been years since I last said the words, I’ll mess up. 

[ToastedScone 394]

If I'm tired, I CANNOT say "radiator" no matter how hard I try. It always comes out as either "raydidator" or "radior"! 

[Cyandashie 128]

"Bonjour".

Technically I can pronounce it, but I said it the wrong way in front of my Canadian friend and it's been a running joke since then.

[Splashee 28,560]

"anti asphyxiation valve"

[Venomous 18,862]

I really don’t have an issue with pronouncing English words. The only time that happens is when I am seeing the word for the first time and it is long.

[Bastian 13,319]

I don't think I have problems pronouncing any word, except maybe for those which are long and complicated.

Lol, English is my second language!

I usually mispronounce 'Crayons' and always pronounce it 'Crans.' I'm not incapable of saying it correctly, I just choose to say it my own way; it just feels more natural.
