Which word is the hardest to pronounce - gyuujuice - 2010-05-18
Off topic: I see. I find Mandarin much easier. I just hate how Japanese 漢字 have 30 readings each.
On topic: It's hard to pronounce some 外来語 after saying it the English so long.

靴下 often catches me off guard for some reason.

Well my socks are INSIDE my shoes!
Should be fricking 靴中...
Also, why am I complaining so trivial? English has around 15 being verbs. (Not sure of actual amount.)

kazelee, Satin isn't evil enough to have created English. English was the result of a people who tried to take everything from all the languages and cram it into their langauge. And then those people started seaking a slang version of that.
I really have a hard time spelling. That's why I prefer 漢字 over カタカナ. =_=
philiphoward123, Don't even go there! lol

Just like some of the others on this thread, I have trouble with 'r/n' combinations. Not only '連絡', but '訓練', and the the dreaded '観覧車'. Luckily, I don't have to say that last one very often.

Hmm.. is it only me that has a problem with the likes of つづく
My tongue often tumbles on that middle "dzu"-sound.
I often end up saying a "du"- or or "su"-sound.

I find native Japanese speakers use a more "round" zu than I mostly do. Maybe it's only my ears...

Aww, come on! Nobody's up for my personal favourite, Jijitsu (fact)? Surely I can't be the only one having a hard time pronouncing it right, specially paired with the plain be verb....Or maybe I just have some speaking deficit or something.....

I hate jijitsu so much. It never fails to trip me up. I'm serious, too.

There are words like あたたかかった that are hard to pronounce but its not because of their sounds but rather their structure. I'm sure natives also make mistakes in them.
In Polish we have sounds covering most "normal" languages and then we add some more, enhanced by ridiculous number of combinations it makes us quite proficient in saying just about anything and that makes Japanese pronunciation quite easy. I'm not saying I've proper pronunciation now but I already have the tools to make it perfect in the future.
