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?

"sp" cluster can be hard. So can "sk" at the end of a word. Hence why you can get "axe" instead of "ask"
