If English wasn’t your first language, maybe if you learned English later in life, were there any words that you had a really hard time learning how to pronounce? Do you think that had to do with the sounds made in your first language?

    “Three” and “thread”. Not because of the th, that’s never been a problem (I learnt the basics very early in life when pronunciation was easy to learn), but because my mouth somehow wouldn’t go from “th” to “r”. It was only a few years ago when it suddenly clicked. Weirdly, I never had an issue saying “through” and “threat”.
