I have trouble with "sixths".

My children's optometrist is a place called "Tropical Optical". I can't do it.

Stumbled on this tongue twister in the wild. It's freaking impossible.

Soldier shoulder surgery.

Months. The S after the TH as in THink vs THe, is difficult.

Native English speaker here. Aside from catching crap for regional accent differences, I didn't have any noticeable, repeating problems until COVID. I can't, for the life of me, properly pronounce comorbidity. Even when I really concentrate on it, it tends to come out as comorbibity. It really makes me sound stupid as hell.

I'm from the American Southeast. I speak with a tarheel drawl. To listen to me speak, you'd think the word "rural" has four Rs in it. Rrrrl.

My sister can't say sea minerals without it sounding like semen roll.

You could always claim you learned English from Irish English speakers: they commonly substitute dental frictives with the plosives, so /th/ with /t/ or /d/.

I used to find words that had the letter R followed by an L difficult. Like girl, world, etc. They're still a bit tongue twisty tbh

Any combination of "th" and "s". Like "months", " clothes", etc.

February. I'm happy I don't have to say it often.

I can not wrap my tounge around ambulance while in a sentence.
So as an Aussie I just call them ambos.

When I was younger I read and listened to a lot of English but didn't speak too much. It took me years to get a better hang of "Three" and "Free".

Grew up in the US (the Deep South)… moved to England, have been here for like a bajillion years and unfortunately still sound American 😕

But for me it is crisps. Why do we have to say this word when it is so awkward?!?

"probably" is awkward for me. I used to drop the b's and pronounce it "pro'ly", but now I make the effort to use "likely" instead

"Assthedick"

Now you'll never forget.

As a native english speaker, obsequious.

"Phthalates"

English speaker - corollary.

non native here

girl, world, rivalry

in ascending difficulty, i generally find soft Rs hard to say, tho after a few years, it became easier

Australian here and with my bigan arse accent I struggle to pronounce the word "regularly"

I break it up to much when I read it into reg-u-lar-ly

If i say it is just roll through the last have and get regurrrly

i used to have difficulty pronouncing the "th" sound as a child too. i would use the same accent my parents did when they used it in words like "three" and i can remember celebrating the moment i realized that i said the number "three" correctly, naturally and without a thought.

ever since then, i've struggled with NOT pronouncing the "th" sound when i speak words that require the hard rolling-r sound like in the spanish word "tres", so go figure. lol

Legislative.

For me, probably "specific" and "interdisciplinary"

Sphere or Sphincter

I am becoming more convinced that I should have been a voice actor......

Non-native but spent a lot of my life living in English-speaking contexts. I know how to pronounce it, but my tongue seems to like tripping up over "hospital".

Czech has this special Ř sound, which is somewhere between a rolling R and the S in vision (/ˈvɪʒən/). I'm learning Czech as a fifth language, so while I can pronounce it standalone or at the start of a word it takes all my focus to manage mid-word.

Everything is difficult (I'm from Spain).
