    I've always had issues with words that start with strong "Ch" and "Sh" sounds. Ever since I was little. I get them flipped and twisted all the time sometimes. It's whatever. I don't care. I find it funny and cute. You can still tell what word I'm trying to say.

    • Tasks
    • Desks
    • Asterisk
    • Asterisks
    • Masks
    • Obelisks
    • Dusks
    • Asks
    • Cornhusks
    These are not actually hard to pronounce; they just sound super awkward and slow down the pace of speech. "Asterisks" is the most annoying one.

    Despicable (tend to end up saying "bibible" instead of "ic-a-bull" if I say it too quickly, so "Disbibible" :face_palm:), individualistic, and specific.

    Coming to cinemas...Disbibible me! :grin:

    In my native language: 'nejkulinkaťoulinkatější' - means something like a diminutive of 'the most round'

    English: 'particularly' and 'miscellaneous' - I hate these 2 words (to be honest, even now I have no idea how to pronounce the latter one)

    Polish: 'bezwzględny' and 'olśniewający'... On the other side I can say Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz!

    French: almost any written long word that I haven't heard so far

    When I get really nervous I mix up Sh and Suh, so I've accidentally asked people "so where should we shit?"

    City & Shitty. I was talking about a city to someone and did say said city, but I guess it came out as shitty and my friend casually reminded me that her parents were home. As well as some words that have an 'l' right after the 'r' such as 'word' and 'world'.

    Tree and three! No idea if it's because my first language was Spanish, or my cross bite, but I have it figured out (can pretend I still don't, though, and people can't tell the difference).
