Worcestershire sauce. Yes, my phone had to help me even spell that! I can never say it! I’m sure I’m not alone. I just heard someone say it right now with ease and was like wow...you said that word.
What’s a word you can’t pronounce?

I've been reading 'Peter Tremayne's' and series of mysteries set in 7th century Ireland and Cora Harrison's series set in 16th century Ireland. Lots and lots of terms in there that I can't imagine pronouncing.
I can't even discuss the books, because I don't know how to pronounce the names of half the characters....

Anything that’s French and I took it for four years. I can read it but that’s all. I say Wu cher shire and I don’t care if it’s wrong. I can NEVER remember ultrasound and I have heard it a thousand times. A friend cannot pronounce cholesterol. She butchers it.

Massachusetts... Although I can pronounce it...I've found that most people don't have a clue. They will pronounce the double s as a t and the ch as another t.

Pet peeve. The way people pronounce “realtor”.
It’s “real - tor”.
Not “real-A-tor”. There is no “a” sound between the L and T.
Everyone mispronounces. Especially on TV 😬😬

Not a word per se but a language.Grew up in a Polish family.My grandmother tried to teach me the polish language sadly I could never wrap my brain around that one.Except for the swear words I would hear spilling out of my father's mouth when he was driving.(He could be an angry driver.)Little old 5 year old me would be like "Dad.What's *'$#@& mean?"He would become quiet and sulk saying "nothing"as I repeated it over and over while we drove on.

I have heard it said if you know what the word means but can’t say it chances are you read more then most.

How about words you've created because you massacred two words you were trying to say because your brain works faster than your mouth.
Example: i was trying to say "helicopter" when my brain also thought of the word "chopper".
What resulted was: "helichopter"...
My kids have issues with certain words.

In the south, lost of people say “Wurchester sauce” and just pretend the “shire” isn’t there. People like me! 
My mother couldn’t pronounce “feminine” - she said “fe nin a min”. Also, “lozenge”. She said “la gen zin eee”.
