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?

Americans are harder on their R's where they're written, but Brits take the R's out and put them softly in other places where they aren't written (to the American ear)
