Some of these are pretty difficult!Until I started watching Grey's Anatomy, I couldn't say Anatomy. I always pronounced the word, "An-A-Ton-O-Me." I have no idea why I couldn't handle this regular word, but thank God for Meredith Grey.

I'm guessing you have one or two tricky words you have trouble pronouncing too, and maybe it appears on this list of the 10 trickiest words in the English language.

This list was developed based on people learning English for the first time, but I decided that I would see what Sweet Lenny would do when I gave him the list.

He did pretty well, BUT, I reminded him of that one time he had a rough time with a certain vegetable.
