What English sounds are hard to say?

Are there English sounds that are unusual for Danes? Or do they all feel familiar because you learn English early?

Basically, is there an English version of Rødgrød med fløde that is challenging for Danes to say?

Tak.

    The "th" sound can be difficult for Danes.

    The same with the difference between "w" and "v" since in Danish they are more or less pronounced the same. So an English version of "rødgrød med fløde" for Danes could be:

    "We went to visit a woman in the country. We were very welcome."

    Source(s): I'm Danish.

    Yes. And when the words will not come out right, we just fart and burp.

    Google tongue twisters.
