English is my first language but speech is difficult in general for me. I struggle with “sp” words like specifically or spaghetti. I seem to forget the “s” most the time

i forget the s but at the end of words 😭 like verbs that are in third person and they have the s at the end

Oof but that’s understandable because the root is the same and we pretty much understand the jist of it

The way I have been teased for saying “pacifically” instead of “specifically” 😭

My classmate showed my grade 6 teacher this word and then my teacher made her show it to the whole class and then she made the rest of the class repeat after my classmate. It was hard saying that word

I find pneumonia a hard one to pronounce

Yeah I find that word hard to pronounce sometimes

I purposely avoid words like that because they’re so difficult to pronounce. I even avoid typing certain words because I can’t type them

that word is easy for me but i think it's bc it's similar to french. i mean pneu alone means car wheel in french and is frequently used.

When I was teaching in Korea, I think the word they found hardest to pronounce was probably “Squirrel”. It was cute!

I am non-native but I can't think of anything. When I was a kid, it was "February" and the sound "th" as in "Three". Now I struggle more with making my accent sounding American. I don't dislike having an accent per se but I find American accent cool for some reason.
