Yahoo News Quiz: Can you say these often mispronounced words?
Britain is legendary for its hard-to-pronounce place names, from Frome to Ballachulish - but there's some fairly indigestible words, too.
It's not helped by the fact that proud Britons often insist on pronouncing words completely differently from Americans.
There’s also a fair few words which British people tend to mangle in everyday speech, but if you were in a fancy restaurant, you'd want to be able to say them properly.
So with that in mind, are you SURE you can order an espresso correctly... and what about a bruschetta?
Our 15-question multiple choice quiz starts off gently, with little words like liable which sometimes trip up the unwary, but then moves up to some genuine tongue-twisters… from chimera to chiaroscuro.
So how good is your pronunciation? Try your luck with our quiz!
