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.

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
