In Dutch, I always have trouble pronouncing 'slechtstschrijvend' (worst writing, translated literally) because of the consonant cluster

I would say it is the German word "Streichholzschachtel", which means match box.

In Polish: konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka. The longest word in my language.
Ale miało być trudne, a nie najdłuższe hah ( But it was going to be hardest, not the longest)

In Turkish "kağıt" by far. Short but a true challenge in articulation.

Any scientific term, especially in chemistry. Example :
- Phénylalanine (an amino acid)
- Chlorure d'aminométhylpyrimidinylhydroxyéthylméthythiazolium. (B2 vitamin if I'm right)
Another very long one (in psychology/joke) :
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobie, which funnily means the phobia of long words.
I'd be curious to hear a foreigner trying to pronunce "Abracadabrantesque" too. Still foreigners, there are plenty of traps in written French.

In Chile at the high school it was difficult to pronounce "ácido acetilsalicilico" and "ácido desoxirribonucleico", we joked a lot with the tongue twister.
For a foreigner, here in Sweden, it's hard to pronounce "sjukhus" and "Värdshus". there are different "sh" sound together. (sj) (hu)(rds). A real nightmare
