ITT: Letters in your language that foreigners always mispronounce

The worst one to me:
>ç
People always say k instead of the s sound it has

w

č, š, ž

people also think that final v is pronounced like f wtf is this Russia loool

Z

>Hello, Mr. Gonkalvesh

鬱

That ain't even a letter

all of them

Sch, ch, g, r

isn't that a 'th'sound

Also ij

Another bad one: lh
They say like it's separated l-h.
I think lh is close to the sound of "lli" in "million"

maybe simple "あ(a)"
when we are impersonating anglos, we pronounce our あ(a) distorted like "a" for apple.
and neither a for "cut", "father",nor turned up e sounds subtly different actually.

And Koreans have their specific difficulty in "z" pronunciations,(ざじずぜぞ). They almost always pronounce it like (zj)

Help a brother out and change the writing system of your language to latin script forever.

Ш/Щ/Ц

Looks like these barbarians aren't trying to learn them at all.

th

sh,shch and c(ts) in normal letters

>shch
no. shch are two different sounds. sh-ch. (szcz in polish and ШЧ in Russian).

Щ is softer Ш spoken with your tongue closer to your teeth while Ш is spoken with your tongue touching the back end of your palate.

How is Щ transliterated then?

I was right, bro
>In English, Shcha is romanized as ⟨shch⟩ or ⟨šč⟩ (with hačeks), both reflecting the historical Russian pronunciation of the letter

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shcha

Other than using IPA phonetic alphabet or using latin-derived letters of other slavic langages like Polish it's not possible (Ш and Щ are the same as polish SZ and Ś).
But using shch to transliterate it creates confusion and people pronounce it wrong.

There's the bullshit wikipedia and there's my experience speaking both Polish and Russian.
I'm sure the Russian user who speaks Polish will confirm it too if he sees the thread.

You're talking about pronunciation. I was transliterating the letters, man. Two different things.
I've always seen that letter being transliterated as "shch" in other places.

>I've always seen that letter being transliterated as "shch" in other places.
Absolutely. That transliteration even exist in Russian language textbooks for Polish learners (as szcz) despite the fact that we have Ś in our alphabet mirroring the pronouciation of Щ perfectly.

>You're talking about pronunciation.
Sure I am. Transliteration should reflect pronounciation. I was merely pointing out the fact that "shch" doesn't do a very good job at it

Sch

The a sound.

æ, ö and å.

They mispronounce sounds, not letters.

Ж Ъ probably, then again i don't know any foreigners.

REEE

Z, R, J, Ñ

Americans like to mix up ei and ie for some reason

It's because of our own shitty spelling system

ř

Ы

Say this:
Strč prst skrz krk.

starch parst skarz kark

and pretty much all vowels

Õ

Disgusting foreigners butcher everything that is Icelandic

No vowels allowed.

/ɧ/
It is spelt in many different ways for example sj, k, sh and skj etc.

yes but as in 'teeth', not as in 'they' or 'the'

esterch pers eskers ker

Most of them. Foreigners trying to read Irish names is funny.

I only have one foreigner friend that can talk turkish properly

Not letter but kj sound. Not even ethnic Norwegians born here can do it anymore.
