What type of english words are hard to pronounce to you? For example. Th words, glottal stops.. etc

as a native, rural still trips me and many others up. it’s just such a weird sounding word. for me personally, i can’t pronounce anonymity to save my life. i keep adding extra syllables. i can say anonymous just fine tho lol

Girl/girls was difficult for me when I was super young. I kept pronouncing it closer to Grill, something I was much more familiar with lmao.

Words ending in sts like nests

"Tests" is very hard for me, and yes the plural version

Rural, sixth (i just pronounce it *six-eth*), literally (american english)

I can say the word ‘rare’ just fine, but the more I say it the less sense it makes as an utterance of the language. I start to feel as if I have a ball in my mouth as I’m saying it. Its meaning is fine as well.

Suggestion.

“Tests”, “rests”, “pests”… I also sometimes struggle with “Similarly” Also, one of the worst-sounding English phrases is pretty simple on paper: “I edited it.” Just try saying that sentence five times fast!

None specifically come to mind but I am sure there are some words, I’d say, medical terms when they mix together such as “tracheobronchitis” because I don’t know how to spell them. I had to google this to spell it correctly. My son had this diagnosis as a toddler and was in the hospital.

Worcestershire ‘ ahaha

The number 3 was hard to learn.

Native speaker. I hate any word with multiple “r” sounds in a row like “rural” or “mirror”.

Hyacinths and Thistles (is a fun album by the Sixths)

Welcome to the internet. You can search for things here. For example, I typed "most difficult english words to pronounce", and it said.... Anemone, Colonel, Worcestershire, Mischievous, Onomatopoeia, Isthmus, Antarctic, Draught, Rural.

Squirrel, square, squire, squid…any “sqwuh” sound I stutter over

Native speaker… I did some reading out loud last year and I realized I had to work at saying “regularly” and “particularly” properly.

“Subsidized” and “ethnicity” are 2 examples that I need to stop, think, and then try to pronounce it correctly

Column and others ending with -mn sound. Brain completely freezes and adds unnecessary vowels.

Chests, and more generally -sts. While -st and -ts are fine, the swapping from s to t and back is just awkward.

the th-s buckle up. like "eighths". i'm teaching fractions right now so it makes it extra frustrating/funny.

For me its soldiers, i keep pronouncing it like soulders sometimes

World, I mean the "ld" part.

Th/f is hard. Dr blends and j. Tr blends and ch.

You never really need to pronounce a glottal stop, except in expressions like uh-oh or in slang words like fuhuhluhtoogan

As a native speaker I want to point out that even we struggle with some words. “Months,” for example, is super hard for me.

R with L words like really
