Less of how hard it is to actually pronounce, more like how hard it is to believe it's pronounced that way.

Ask a German to pronounce “squirrel.”

Worcestershire sauce

When I was younger it was any word where an R is followed by an L. Girl, world, twirl.. im better at them now tho

The number of native English speakers who can't pronounce "specific" and instead say "pacific" is too damn high.

"The". The "th" in "the" is the only sound in English I can think of that doesn't have a very similar counterpart in Dutch. The closest you could get using just Dutch phonemes would be "zuh" or "duh".

Don't feel bad, everyone. English pronunciation IS difficult, though through tough thorough thought, you can do it!

When I was first learning as a kid, I used to pronounce three as tree. I actually got picked on a lot because of it, because middle schoolers are assholes

The th sound is honestly a bit difficult. Three will end up sounding like either tree or free, but not three. Usually I just pronounce it as a slightly weird T. I have quite a Dutch accent anyways and that just something y'all will have to deal with ;p

I wouldn't say struggle, but I did wonder for a while how to pronounce "anemone".

Ignominious anthropomorphic pauciloquy.

English is my first language but saying "edited it" drives me crazy.

Facade as Fack-aid, is one.

I always pronounced “only” as “on-lie”. I heard other people say “only” and couldn’t understand what they meant.

Corollary. Not only I can't say it out loud, I can't even form it properly with my inner voice.

Queue, schedule, vehicle - struggles of my life lol

There are words I really ~~hate~~ struggle with...
Whirl, macabre, dairy, faux, chique.

I personally am having a hard time with "overwhelmingly"

I have to perform a context switch between "v" and "w" sounds, so words and phrases that contain both (e.g: "very well") sometimes end up with only "w" sounds. (My native language does not have a regular "W" sound)

But even after 20 years speaking it, English pronunciation is complete nonsense. Most of the time, you just need to memorize the words. Because trying to figure out how to say something, you also need to know if the word is borrowed from any other languages that use Latin alphabet, and then pronouce it pretending to speak that language. Simplest example: Mocha (moh-ka) and matcha (maht-cha). But there are countless borrowed words that don't change spelling in English.

Genuine. I still wonder if I pronounced it correctly every time I use the word.
