Default Words you find difficult to pronounce.
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?

Phenomenal is always a tricky one. I'm that tired I don't even know if I've spelt it right...
