When I (German) was ~15 I was blaming esp. US folks for not managing to pronounce my handle correctly.
That changed when I completely failed to pronounce Baltic and Arabic names to the name-holders satisfaction. I can't even hear where I am going wrong.

Same effect for me, once on a flight between Florida and New York I asked for water (I'm French), I did my best to pronounce it correctly but the flight attendant couldn't understand me. Another passenger told him "I think he wants water". For me, he used the exact same pronunciation as me. I never understood what was wrong.
