The teacher tried to help me with it, but I gave up all the attempts.

Do you really think Sensitivity is a hard word to pronounce?

Well sensitivity isn't the hardest

the most diffucult for me is battery i just can't pronounced correctly.

To be honest for me there are plenty of words that are difficult to pronounce and one of them is antibiotics. waooo another is doubts or statistics. Give it try.

For me, "conscientious" was always one hell of an effort to pronounce in a right way.

The verb looks so simple, but I have a big difficulty to pronunce to laugh.
I can' speak this word right: my tongue curl up and it sounds ridiculous.

What about this word?
"sprachgful" which means an intuitive sense of what's linguistically correct.
It's borrower from German
