The phrase, '' Happy Canada Day" is a tough one for me. Always comes out slurry and sounding like I'm drunk.
Hmmm..on further consideration, it may be because I usually have a few on that day...; )0 -
Saying thank instead of think: "What do you thank we should do?"
Jewry instead of jewelry
Creme Brulee. I can say creme, and I can say Brulee, but not together.

...Dawn/Don - My uncles' name is Don. I pronounce it Dahn. My friends name is Dawn. I say her name Daun.
I'm not from Texas but I live here now...
so the first has less jaw movement. I try to shape the 'w' in Dawn.

I think for a given definition of correctly you pronounce it correctly. You just speak a different dialect of English. I don't mean this condescendingly, and maybe I'm weird, but I find all accents of English that aren't American charming! I suspect if I was fluent enough in other languages, I'd be able to pick up different accents in those languages and find them charming too. (I don't mean the characteristic ll/y of Argentine Spanish or the z/c distinction of Castilian Spanish. Those are broad features that don't require any nuance to detect!)0 -

There are way too many, I blame my father he has a horrible time pronouncing words and I guess I take after him, plus I from the south and let's just say my family isn't exactly the kind of family that speaks properly.
Similarly
Meal- I say mill, always have always will
Crayon- I say crown, not because I can't say crayon but because that's what my family says
Specific-pacific, now if I say it slowly I can say it right
Bachelorette- yea forget about it, my mouth does not like that word
Whale- I say well, my husband picks on my all the time because of this
Jail- gel, I don't know why but I just can't say jail0 -
My Spanish inclided tongue isn't very kind when it comes to pronouncing anything that has a "CH" in the word...they come out as "SH" sound.
