RE: What is the most difficult english word For you to pronounce?

Difficult English Words
Affect / Effect
"Affect" and "effect" are two words which have a similar or identical pronunciation in spoken English, but have different meanings when used correctly in written English. "Affect' is most commonly used as a verb and means "to influence or change" or "arouse feelings". The word "affect" is rarely used as a noun and when it is it is in a fairly narrow field of psychology in connection with emotional states. In contrast to "affect", the word "effect" is most often used as a noun. "Effect" as a noun means "a result". "Effect" is rarely used as a verb and means to make something happen

RE: What is the most difficult english word For you to pronounce?

Difficult English Words
Practise / Practice
In many parts of the English speaking world (UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and South Africa) 鈥減ractice鈥 is the noun, 鈥減ractise鈥 the verb. However, in the U.S.A the spelling 鈥減ractice鈥 is more often used for both the noun and the verb. Contrary to popular belief a significant minority of the American population also observe the distinction. If you are not sure about what a verb or noun is, it might be safer to just use the spelling "practice", as many Americans do!

RE: What is the most difficult english word For you to pronounce?

Difficult English Words
Definite / Definitive
Something which is clearly defined is "definite", and so is an intention which is not going to change. Where the word "definite" is used for what is exact and firm, "definitive" is used for what is not only decisive but also conclusive and final, perhaps a benchmark

Sometimes hard to pronounce the word which is easy. It changes to the moment for me. For example: congratulations
