I challenge any Anglophone without mastery of the French language to say the word, "flourure" (making sure to elongate the Rs) before a group of Francophones without feeling absolutely ridiculous There are other examples but I find this word (meaning flouride) especially comical as it stumbles out of my mouth at the pharmacy -- as does anyone within hearing distance ;-) I believe the "th" sound is generally difficult for latins. As a test, if you are Francophone please stand before a mirror and quickly say, "hello, my name is thof thimblefith", making sure to enunciate each "th" clearly. If you can do so you will have mastered a lisp.
