Are there any English sounds that are difficult for you to pronounce?

I have realized through conversing, people normally confuse certify and satisfy since they have similar pronunciations. “She can certify that the report is accurate.” Certify in this sentence means the provided report is accurate and correct. “That snack will satisfy my hunger.” Satisfy in this sentence means to meet or fulfil a need or desire.
The 'th'' sounds in words like 'think' and 'this' can be difficult because they don't exist in many other languages.

Even as a native speaker, some words are tricky to pronounce. With practice and technique it is possible to speak British English fluently. During my 20 years of teaching students of all ages, I can say that it is possible with support and practice.

For "sit"/"live": Try to make a short sound by keeping your tongue relaxed and positioned in the middle of your mouth. For "seat"/"leave": Stretch your tongue forward, raise it towards the roof of your mouth, and hold the /i:/ sound longer.
