How you say?

An Australian survey confirmed the most difficult word to pronounce here is:
Wuss-ter-sheer! (Did I say it correctly) I used to think it was Wiltshire!
Others were : Brewery (Brury), Anemone (an ...aneno...anenemy! DOH!)
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

saying "Rural" is unnatural in any accent!
Saying it out loud reminds me of the old dog across the street barking!

I've heard Iggy's (correct) and Aoi's pronunciations before, plus "WOOS-shear (soft oo)". "Rural" comes out almost like "Earl". I'll have to give this some thought as to words I mess up. My main problem is stuttering.

I've always had a problem getting felching out.

Some languages with a Latin base, such as Spanish or Italian, require you to trill (roll) your "r's", which for many, is impossible. I can do it with ease, but I know several in my family who cannot.

I live 25 miles from the boundary and I can't trill an r to save my family's life.
