Was playing a video game earlier where the word 'prodigal' came up and I was reminded of how I never know how to pronounce it. Do you:

- pronounce the g as a j, as in prodigy?
- pronounce the g as a g, as in cardigan?
- pronounce the pro as in prodigy or pronounce?

idk any more

but yeah what words confuse you?

I always used to struggle with the word Actually when i was young for some reason and used to pronounce it as Act-shoo-ally.

I can say the welsh one...my grandad was welsh and spent hours when I was a kid repeating it until I could say it bless him...I must have annoyed the hell out of him but it stuck and I can still say it now.
