Are there any words that you have difficulty pronouncing?

In English (I mean Standard British English) the 'r' in 'art' is completely unpronounced when it is a 'vowel modifier' as in 'art', 'butter' and 'metre'; you only generally hear it at the beginning of syllables and in combination with other consonants, as in 'royal', 'furry' and 'crown' or when two 'er' sounds come together - 'colouRer'. In American English and in the West of England it tends to be pronounced by lifting the tongue and using the cheek space somewhat (it varies quite considerably depending on where you come from). In other parts of England it may be 'rolled' (with the tongue rolled slightly backwards and one or more definite taps of the tongue against the hard palate) or even slightly glottal in parts of the North of England. The French use a completely different sound for 'r' - it is really more like an unvoiced 'g' or 'k' sound (a glottal), and sometimes actually 'rolled' (though never quite as much as in a 'growl'). Many native English speakers have difficulty pronouncing the 'r' sound and substitute it with a 'w' sound. This seems to be congenital and may be something to do with the ability to curl or roll the tongue. Sometimes, if they have had speech training, they are taught to use a glottal, something like the French 'r'. Japanese and Chinese speakers have a consonant which is somewhere between our 'r' and our 'l' and find it difficult to distinguish between the two sounds, both aurally and orally (now, those two words suggest a conundrum! How would a Chinese speaker manage them, I wonder, and how would you say them, especially if you needed to distinguish between them in speaking to an audience - all but the most precise British speakers, at least, would pronounce them identically!)

I still have trouble pronouncing inevitable (I dont even know if that is how it is spelled).From the first time I heard it I couldnt pronounce and it still hasnt improved

I might not pronounce right on some words but I have no difficult in being understood by others. Go infront of the mirror and train your tongue to pronounce the word you find difficulty in.

Hi, sheepie its been a little while since I've seen you hope you had a nice holiday. well here's an answer to your question yes there are a few words that I sometimes have difficulty pronouncing but I'll just post one, and my word is (statistics) that just seems a bit hard for me to pronounce I guess its just because I get tongue tied.

hi sheepie most indians do not realise that they have problem pronouncing "H" but if u listen carefully they have that .. it was highlighted to me when i was young so i learned to stress on the sound .. house is normally said "ouse" horse is "orse" home is "ome" hotel is "otel" cheers

Hello,Sheepie.Many Chinese including me feel it's hard to pronounce the"v" and "th",when we pronouce them,it just sounds we pronounce"w" and "s".It's get me crazy sometime.
