Negligible
It has taken me a really long time to say this word, and I still find it difficult. I have to think and make sure the tongue is in the right place.
Overheard a conversation a Canadian had today on the phone. She elegantly placed the word 'negligible' into the conversation. I told a German that I find it very difficult to pronounce. His response was "negli-what?". I carefully spelled it out to him, and heard him mutter "I'll try that at home". Haha.

after reading this post I'm now thinking that I cant really pronounce this well either. luckily there's negligible need to use it in daily life, ha ha
I don't know why it's so hard...but it doesn't sit well in the mouth.
