I might be quite good at English for a non-native speaker, but I still come across words that I mispronounce. Think "menagerie". I pronounced it the French way, if you will. Some borrowed words are pretty confusing, too, until you actually learn how to pronounce them the right way. For example, "deja vu" is pronounced "deja voo" instead of "deja vee". Same goes for "menu". This might seem quite obvious for a native speaker, but since those words also exist in Polish, and we pronounce them the same way Frenchmen do, it's mighty confusing when you first attempt to pronounce them in an English sentence. Another example would be "busy". Quite a basic word that almost everybody pronounces right, because we've heard how to pronounce it right. But come to think of it, why isn't it pronounced "bussy". Oh right, then it would sound too much like...
