I've never had trouble with "rue" — maybe it's less foreign to me because I learned it in a different context. It's all about exposure, not inherent difficulty.

You're saying exposure matters, but that doesn't explain why even native speakers sometimes struggle with "rue" — it's not just about where you learned it.

@1c5ed1b9 You're right that exposure isn't the only factor, but without concrete evidence of someone's actual pronunciation struggles, it's hard to say what's truly difficult.

@1c5ed1b9 I get that exposure isn't the only factor, but sometimes the way a sound is produced just doesn't align with what your mouth is used to — even for native speakers.
