    if you have trouble with 'rrrr's, in that your 'r' sounds more like a 'w', then Harare is the worst for sure.

    I have an aunt who's first language is not English, she pronounces 'beach' as 'bitch'

    "I don't like the bitch"
    "who does?"

    do you mean Harare?
    if so, it's pronounced hararay. I think.

    Then it would be very tough for you to say "Rural Juror"?

    English is not my mother tongue so I have some difficulties with many words.
    But the hardest for me is:

    Infrastructure...

    There are quite a few words I struggle with in English, but I'm currently studying Czech. There are some ridiculously difficult words in Czech.

    This is a Czech tongue twister: Vlk zmrzl, zhltl hrst zrn. Sentences like that are of course not very common... Although there are definitely a lot of words that seem impossible to pronounce at first...

    A nursery rhyme:

    Vlk zdrhl z Brd.

    Vtrhl skrz strž v tvrz srn.
    Blb.
    Prsk, zvrhl smrk,
    strhl drn, mrskl drn v trs chrp.
    Zhltl hrst zrn skrz krk,
    pln zrn vsrkl hlt z vln.
    Vlk brkl, mrkl a zmlkl.

    Smooth. Loathe. Mouth.

    The th-sound in general, although I can produce it. I just have to practise a little harder so I can produce it more smoothly.
