    Colonel was actually taken by the French from the Italian language, it was then changed from the Italian “colonnello” to the old French “couronnel”, which explains the English pronunciation, back to the modern French word “colonel”, which the English ultimately ended up taking for themselves.

We find the Latin origin, coming from Italy (via the Romans), the Germanic languages (via the francs), the Greek (especially the scientific words) via the Greeks and the Romans (Marseille is originally a city Greek), and a few words of Celtic (Gallic) origin the people of origin. Which makes French difficult for everyone in Europe ... an Italian and a Spanish will have less difficulty in learning the other's language.

Like for the rest of Europe, many French words entered the English vocabulary when France was culturally dominant and the language of diplomacy - and Lingua Franca of the European elites (~1650 to kind of early 20th c., I think - or close enough). It can be seen in English (and the European languages in general) in words in domains in which France was seen as prominent - e.g. in relation with the science, culture (example: the French word for "dance" is found in all European languages (and beyond, ex: Turkish "dans")), military domain (most of the military words in English are from the French language and it also true - to some (lesser, I think) extent - in the other European languages), etc... And yes, the percentage of the French vocabulary in the English language is much less than 80% !!!

    @@kaydod3190 There may be more difficult words in other languages, but in english we have far more simple words, that are spelt the same but have different pronunciation or are spelt differently but have similar pronunciation. This makes it an incredibly hard language to learn to pronounce words. After a couple of classes in a few languages like spanish, german and russian, I was reasonably able to pronounce any word in that language. English requires a very sound understanding of the words and the context, to be sure you've pronounced it correctly. ie tear has two pronunciations for different meanings. Tear and lair sound the same as does tear and fear. This alone makes it a hard language to pronounce well. Then there is the fact the in the USA they pronounce (and spell) a heap of words completely different to the rest of the english speaking world, whereas spanish is pronounced similarly everywhere, other than a few accent differences.

    @@JustinWatson23 Yup exactly. Been listening to english content for 2 hours a day for 15 years, and I will still pronounce some stuff wrong, cauz you just can't guess how a word will be pronounced if you haven't heard it before / haven't heard it in a long while if you're not native like I am, (and also because I don't speak much, I mostly listen). Meanwhile, in french (my native language), or in spanish that I only studied in school for a few years, give me a text and I can read it and tell you how everything should be pronounced, because there are actual pronounciation rules you can follow in these languages and very few exceptions. English being a language that has been influenced by multiple other languages throughout history and rarely reformed, we end up with the pronounciation mess we have today.

    What suprise me the most is how a native says those words were difficult. Most of them weren't, actually. Squirrel - maybe, yes. And psycho-something too. But in cases with colonel and choir - you just have to know these words to pronounce them correctly, you have to memorise, and that's it. As for me, most difficult words are "clothes", "Maths", "crisps". You often come across them, they look like easy ones, but naah.

    You can honestly get away with pronouncing "clothes" like "close," that's how I say it in my American accent. And as for "Maths," and "crisps," I also couldn't say them very well when I first came across them, the American "math," and "chips" is much easier. For non-native English speakers I would recommend learning the standard American dialect, much easier to understand and pronounce.

    I don't think she actually found it difficult herself, obviously -- she's a native speaker. She just recognized that English language learners were likely to stumble on words such as these, either because they're inherently trickier to pronounce (like squirrel, brewery, or rural, for native speakers of a language with a different sounding 'r'), or they're just very different from their spelling and, as you said, they just haven't heard it sounded out before.

    BEST WAY TO SAY "TOTALLY" America will always say the "Tuh" Or "Tee" sound in T when it's the first letter in a word. "The, Totally, Train, Tall, Teller, Talking, Teaspoon" but any following T's are usually pronounced as a quick "duh" "To(duh)ally". In a nutshell. In America the T will always be said if it's the first letter in a word. If a word has TWO (2) t's back to back (aTTendance) then the first T is said while the second is silent. When you see a word having "tt" it's basically a reminder to say the T in the word. "aTtendence, aTtacked, baTtle,"
