English as a second language learners: what words were really hard for you to pronounce? - tchncs

If English wasn’t your first language, maybe if you learned English later in life, were there any words that you had a really hard time learning how to pronounce? Do you think that had to do with the sounds made in your first language?

Is it tricky? English is my first language and it doesn’t seem difficult to me, but I never gave it much thought. So fascinating.
