Words you can't pronounce

Are there any words you find hard to pronounce.

I was trying to say Brewery earlier and just couldn't say it, so the person I was talking to could understand! The more I tried, the less like Brewery it sounded.

I know someone who says uncle - like oncle. Always sounds wrong, but that's just how she says it.

Any words that flummox you?

I want to know how you say brewery now.

I can't think of any at the moment but I know that sometimes my emphasis on some parts of a word is different to some people around me. (I can't think of an example right now.)

I don't think my accent helped! I think I've got a complex now about that word!

I used to emphasise advertisement wrongly so I'd say the ise part so it sounded like eyes rather than is. If that makes sense.

My mother will put the emphasis on the wrong part of people's names (even completely common names, even when the person has introduced themselves to her, even when other people refer to them regularly) and it drives me insane.

As for me, I still say remuneration wrong because I also spelled it wrong until about 5 years ago and the incorrect version stuck (renumeration). Unfortunately it's a word I come across a lot at work!

I have a lisp but it's not too bad, however the word thistle, becomes "sissel". Fortunately it's a word I don't often have to say.

Not a word I can't pronounce but a little joke between us is the word Lingerie which we have always said as it is spelt rather than the French pronunciation, that is until we were shopping and I asked where the ling-er-ie section was to a shop assistant. She just looked at me and then very slowly said the correct pronunciation, whilst pointing it out and I left rather red faced

"Are there any words you find hard to pronounce.

I was trying to say Brewery earlier and just couldn't say it, so the person I was talking to could understand! The more I tried, the less like Brewery it sounded.

I know someone who says uncle - like oncle. Always sounds wrong, but that's just how she says it.

Any words that flummox you?

"

I can't say tortoise and now I'm unsure as to wether I can spell now

I can't say the world ' similarly ' bit of an odd one.

Sometimes I also get my 'f' and 'th' sounds mixed up, but I was told this was a midlands thing to do? I'm not sure xx
