1. "Příšerně" - This word means "terribly" or "awfully" in English. But seriously, try saying it five times fast without getting your tongue tangled up!

2. "Štěstí" - It translates to "luck" or "happiness," but the real challenge is pronouncing all those delightful consonants together. Give it a go and see if you can nail it on the first try!

3. "Brouk" - Don't be fooled by its cute translation of "beetle." This little bugger of a word will have you giggling as you struggle to pronounce it correctly.

4. "Zmrzlina" - Ice cream never sounded so complicated! Say goodbye to your smooth English pronunciation skills as you attempt to conquer this mouthful of a word.

5. "Housenka" - While it might sound like a delicious pastry, this word actually means "caterpillar." Just be careful not to confuse your cravings when talking about insects!
