Quite a few words with an R and an L together, especially for English learners from East Asia. Jewelry, Early Quite a few words with a P, for those English learners from the Middle East, primarily because P does not exist as a letter in Arabic. Palestine is often pronounced as Balestin, pants as bants, etc. Words that begin with an S+consonant for the English speakers from Latin America; most words in those languages put an extra "e" in front of the s+consonant so station /STEI-shoen/ becomes estashon /e-stei-shon/
