Which words do you have trouble spelling or pronouncing?

For the spelling side mainly the equivalent of saying be more accurate, my problem with pronouncing words is a whole new story in which, at least everyday I misremember one or two simple words for a short span of time, but remember it later on, my latest experience of this was with good and Carlisle (which is more understandable on the latter)
 
Spelling:
Definitely
Appalachian
Pontiac
Tchotchke
indict

Pronouncing (I don't really have a problem pronouncing words in English, but here are some ones from other languages):
Zdravstvuyte (Hello in Russian, for those who don't know, it's formal)
Grenouille (Frog in French)
Iroquois
Spreche (speak in German), the combination between the "ch" sound and the "r" sound make it difficult for me.


Just a few....
 
Accidentally. I can never remember if it's an I or an E.
Definitely
Villain
Mnemonic (spelling and pronunciation...on a side note, apparently I also have trouble spelling "pronunciation")
 
I always spell society as soceity, and I usually have trouble spelling character.

As for words I can't pronounce well, lasagna.
 
Paraphernalia is one of the few words I can't spell or pronounce.
 
Spelling for me is always whether to use "affect" or "effect", I'm sure there are words out there that'd really trouble me like "coccyx", but I haven't really come across them so far. :P
 
I've had issues spelling the words definitely prejudice, and seperate sometimes. But thank goodness spell check exists :P
 
"Rural" is very difficult to pronounce. I don't like saying that word.

And I often spell "weird" as "wierd".
 
I have trouble pronouncing lots of words with R's... people think I have like a New Yorker accent but it's actually just a weird sensory thing
 
Pronunciation: Defibrillator (I've given up trying to pronounce it and just say 'Deflibberator' instead now :P)
Spelling: Pronunciation (I always put an O before the U >_<)
 
"Reminiscent" for me. The bad thing is I often use that word in my Disney reviews, so I often to have to look it up on how to spell it.
 
"separate" I ALWAYS SPELL THAT ONE WRONG AND I JUST DID LIKE 5 SECONDS AGO
none other really unless it's like a really long word for like a phobia or an element or something
 
Onomatopoeia... Hey, look, I did it! :)

Egotistical (I used to say egostatistical.)
Sixth (I've always had to concentrate when putting the "x" before the "th", otherwise it sounds like a terrible lisp.)
Miscellaneous used to be a troublesome word for me, but now I can spell it on the first try.
 
Receive, conceive, and license.
