[FlyingJesus]

Richie and Kirst you're Irish there is nothing you can pronounce

[Alex3213]

Accompaniment and accompanier are two words I struggled with this morning. :(
Also "similarly" is one I find difficult to pronounce, I get there in the end though.

[Andii]

[Red]

I say my words correctly like three ;o

[Catzsy]

I can't say namibia no matter how hard I try. I do have a problem with words on occasions e.g. cark park will come out as par cark which others find very amusing.

[buttons]

i could never say constituency

[beth]

oh two other words i couldn't say as a kid that i still say differently now even though i can say them are scissors (skizzers) and spaghetti (sketti)

[Neversoft]

I have encountered no word in the British language that I have been unable to pronounce.

[Swearwolf]

I have encountered no word in the British language that I have been unable to pronounce.

Agreed.

[FlyingJesus]

I can't say namibia no matter how hard I try

Damn that must really suck for trying to carry everyday conversations

[Misawa]

Since I can actually speak English, none.

[Samantha]

I remember not being able to pronounce 'dollar' I used to say 'doll-er' and hold it on for ages. Also 'tarmacking' I said 'tar-marking' and again held it on for a long time.

[Shar]

Calculator. I have to proper enunciate and take my time otherwise it comes out as "canculator" no idea why :S

[dbgtz]

Only excessively long words, but once I go over it once or twice then I can.

[Sharon]

I can say like everything, not come across a word I can't yet :O

[Mark]

regularly

regularly is hard for me to say if I try to say it fast. If I say it slow it's fine

[Jazz]

i cant pronouce pound, it comes out pand :[

[Eric]

Regularly. It's pretty hard to say it fast. Apart from that, i can pronounce everything.

[GommeInc]

I'm fine with pronunciation, though on the odd occasion I have to slow down when the word "walruses" appears in a conversation. The 'wal' bit is the problem, makes the rest of the word sound odd.

[hiyahon]

oiseau in french
WHY SO MANY VOWELS...

[Chris]

Good question, but I can't thing of any which I find difficult to pronounce. Hmm.

[Chippiewill]

There's no word that I know that I can't pronounce, although ironically I sometimes screw up 'enunciate' when I sling it into a conversation without thinking properly.

[iFlame]

Sward, i say sworm or something haha!

[Lewis]

regularly - i pronounce it reg ulay

[toribbz]

communicate.
i always say comminucate

[=Lizzy]

ship

i don't i used to have this lisp when i was younger i mean i can say it now but not fast cause it sounds like something else

[Mr-Trainor]

I can pronounce all words I've come across eventually, may take a few attempts for some of the longer words :P.

[GirlNextDoor15]

you mean words like pseudonym or pharmaceutical?
Then, no. I can pronounce all words.

[cocaine]

antidisestablishmentarianism

joke i can pronounce that. i don't have trouble pronouncing things, only when i don't pay attention in conversation i.e. i see someone fit walking past me or something

[FlyingJesus]

oiseau in french

It's 2 syllables Ryan come on


Sward, i say sworm or something haha!

Do you actually mean sward as in a small piece of grass or did you mean sword

[J0SH]

I'm a southerner so I can pronounce anything, I do feel sorry for the northerners though who refer to words such as mug as moog

[sorrydude$]

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

and stupid things like, i would say "my feets are cold"

[Blinger]

Phenomenal and phenomenon

[Blinger]

I can say like everything, not come across a word I can't yet :O

I didn't realise kids books have big words.

[Neversoft]

I hope none of the people saying they can't pronounce certain words are from the south.

[GommeInc]

I only found out today that a pouffe (french) / pouf (english) is pronounced differently in the north. It's meant to be pronounced pooooooooof (not poof, just a bit longer sounding in the middle), while up north (or in Corrie ads) they pronounce it poofay. There's no hyphen, so the e doesn't sound like an a.

Well the north pronounce everything differently because they're noobs, but I'm from the south and while I don't think I've ever had to say pouffe, I would have pronounced it as poofay as well. There is actually supposed to be some sort of diacritic above the e isn't there?

[FlyingJesus]

Pouffe is pronounced poof (although as Ryan says, generally more extended for some reason) which can add instant amusement to otherwise boring trips to elderly relatives as they always seem to have a pouffe in the middle of the room

[Neversoft]

Oh right, a pouffe is one of those things you rest your feet on. In that case I do pronounce it as poof. Why does it have to be spelt so ******edly. I wonder what the hell I was thinking of? Maybe souffle. :8

[GommeInc]

You can get instant amusement by typing "pouffe" into Google Translate with french as the highlighted language and listening to how it's pronounced :P

[Neversoft]

I just asked my northern friend and she pronounces pouffe as pooooof. THIS THREAD IS A LIE.

[GommeInc]

Perhaps there is such a thing as an educated northerner :O

[dirrty]

erm, i can only pronounce thor as four?

[FlyingJesus]

I think it's more likely that she genuinely rests her feet on a recumbent homosexual tbh

[Jurv]

There's nothing I can't pronounce unless it's a really long word I've never seen before, haha.

[-JammyDodgers]

Strange enough but .. Squirrel ;3

[toribbz]

i have a new one!
patricularly (obviously i can't spell it eitherr :/)

[RyRy]

Oh god I can't say particularly either unless I say it all posh. If I do it in my accent it turns into PATICKURLEY am sure I'll find a few others

[Kellie]

I can't say particularly either hahaa, I also sometimes can't say regularly lol.

[Phil]

I can't just say trespasses it just turns into trepasseseses.

[MKR&*42]

Colloquialisms

It just messes up when I reach 'qu'. D:

I also have difficulty saying and pronouncing Conscientious - but apart from that, I can generally pronounce stuff rather well.

Edit: That should be 'spelling'. God I need some sleep ._.

[Sloths]

[Succubus]

transplantation
(Really, don't ask)
I'm finding my faulty's every where.

[Meloneeze.]

I guess I can pronounce most things, but in like a tongue twister fashion gets the tongue flying out of my mouth all the way to New Zealand.
I'm kidding.
and pewsh I had to go one a site just to find words I couldn't pronounce :( sad... The only two in the entire history of my vocabulary are these:
hierarchical and
entrepreneurial
Second one is farly easy, first is just downright hard. I want french toast now. :( :( :( :( :) :( :) :( :( :(

[jasey]

I have a heavy French accent so you can imagine that it is very funny to hear me pronounce words like 'beach', 'sheet' and 'slot'. I like riding the train from Paris to London and when I am there I keep my spoken words to a minimum because I have gotten laughed at in the past when I mess up my pronunciations. Some of my English friends think it is cute, though, so I guess it can be a blessing!

[Chawk]

Only one word I cannot pronounce and I know a couple people who have the same problem my word is "Terminally" =( It turns out sounding like this; Term-ally

[twinart]

"You're Hawt and I Know It"

[Conspiracy.]

There's actually a few because I have a slight lisp >.> "sh" words are my downfall.

[Catchy]

omg there's loads but 1 everyone takes the piss out of is that i can't say "the" or "that" properly

[Chawk]

When I try and say Terminally though I avoid saying it all together - That person is .... Really really sick for a very long time and probably won't get better ennit.

It's too long winded.
So i just roll with the termaly

[orientalframe?]

i can't pronounce the word worrying, not sure why i have a problem with w's :P

[Rainbow]

regularly and my mates name methinee

[Jssy]

regularly
onomatopeia
similarly

[Presentiment]

'Equivalent' I always say Equilavent...:(

[Metric1]

a lot of things people criticize me for saying wrong.. including the word "wrong" - comes out like rawong.. just an accent

[Gibs960]

I don't really have a trouble pronouncing words because I read a lot so I get used to the word and gradually study the word in more detail, which in turn results in a better understanding of the way the word is pronounced. If I don't know how to pronounce a word I ask my English teacher or my dad, who also reads a lot.
