A lady I was teaching today found the word 'deteriorate' extremely difficult to pronounce. Add 'ed' or 'ing' and it becomes even worse!

Ah deteriorated! Curses! I have a lot of trouble with that word. I seem to add a second "ed" everytime I try to say it, but my worst is asks. Ask is fine, but asks is awful. I usually try and use questions instead.

Hi ;-)
I have a problem with r-sound. When my friend and I talked about movies, I said that my favorite movie was "Spirited away." My friend laughed and told me that he understood what I meant, but I sounded as if I said "Spit it away." :shock:

OK in my opinion the hardest word to pronounce in english is reshuffle

 

[ugaskin]

I get tongue tied with the word satiate from time to time.:-?

It could be a noun. In medical (psychiatric) use you could say 'He is suffering from lack of affect'

Also, as I guess Tdol knows, 'effect' can be a verb: "He effected a hasty retreat".

But for most teaching purposes, Tdol's rule of thumb works. (As a teacher I'm always making the mistake of trying to teach exceptional usages.)

If you have trouble with "3th", try pronouncing it "third".

 

[Mehsud]

well, as far as my pronunciation is concerned. i think the pronunciation itself is the hardest to be pronounced.

I am having a hard time to pronounce the word, "jewelry", and I practiced more than hundred times to pronounce "entrepreneur", and now I am confident to pronounce it.

 

[Miner49'er]

Let a hundred Flemish speaking people read the word "variety" and you'll hear the utmost strange pronunciations. :lol:

 

[muhamaad]
