The only thing I've had a problem getting used to is pronouncing TH in words.
ex: I used to pronounce three like tree

I'm alright now

I have a slight NY/MA accent and say some things funny...sometimes words with a hard 'a' i say with a soft 'a' (ah).

Also I say 'fog' like 'fahg' and frog like 'frahg', although I say dog normally

My grandma says 'wape' instead of 'wipe' and I did it until I realized how dumb it sounded.

Buffet.

The Russian equivalent sounds like - boo-fyet.

So I was raised saying boo-fey instead of buff-ey.

I can never forgive my dad

Herb

As an American :usa: I've been raised to pronounce the "h" as silent, but across the pond, where my language originated, they do pronounce the "h". Therefore I consider the way I say it to be wrong
