(discuss.tchncs.de) submitted 10 months ago by RockySalad@discuss.tchncs.de to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 155 comments fedilink hide all child comments If English wasn't your first language, maybe if you learned English later in life, were there any words that you had a really hard time learning how to pronounce? Do you think that had to do with the sounds made in your first language?
