If English wasn’t your first language, maybe if you learned English later in life, were there any words that you had a really hard time learning how to pronounce? Do you think that had to do with the sounds made in your first language?

knowing how to spell definitely, and pronouncing drawer.
Definitely’s spelling is easier if you recognize that the root word is finite. De-finite-ly.
It’s not finate. That’s not a word (unless it’s some bullshit word no one ever uses).
For others, in my accent drawer rhymes with door and or. All spelled differently to get the same sound. None of the three are spelled phonetically by the ‘rules’ of English. They should be drore, dore, and ore.
Incidentally, ore is a word. But you’re right.
