OK, the pronunciation is different and nobody wants to sound stupid but if you never try you will never learn and that’s the cruel and brutal truth!
I have many sayings that I have learned so far throughout my interesting life and one of them is “Curiosity killed the cat”! Hey, let me tell you one thing, when that cat died, he was so smart and knowledgeable that he could speak more than one language and was not afraid of making mistakes.
Life is a lesson, we make mistakes and if we don’t learn, life gives us the same lesson again, but this time it’s more difficult and it continues to do so until we learn.
All that I ask is that you keep an open mind and try, and if you can, and only then will you really start to enjoy communicating in another language.
Take care and see you soon I hope.

P.S. Don’t complicate things because you will only make it more difficult for yourself!
