I used to work in daycare where the children would often get words wrong, so as a result, it meltet into my language.
To this day, I still can't say spaghetti. I keep saying pasketti.
What words or phrases do you keep getting wrong?

Not sure if I have any I struggle with now, but as a kid, I had to get speech therapy since I struggled with the Spanish strong R. I couldn't say perrito, so it would end up being peito(which is out word for small fart) and computadora(computer), I'd cut out the com, so putadora(puta is whore in Spanish). Lots of awkward moments.

i've said spoon - tiaogeng as piaogeng my entire life but i'm not changing that anytime soon |D
I also keep calling scrambled eggs 'egg cake' in my native language.
And for some reason, if I talk to someone with poor english skills, my skills suffer for hours.

I've always wanted to lift a large quadraped over my head
lol i used to work in a daycare too and i still say "whatchu said?" instead of "what did you say?" because of one of the kids there.
hello again
I don't struggle to pronounce any words that I can think of (in English, at least), but there's some stuff that I technically mispronounce out of habit.
I can pronounce Vienna just fine, but the sausages will always be vyeenie to me. I count this as more of an accent thing than a pronunciation issue, though I didn't realize it was actually Vienna until my late teens/early 20s because that's what everyone around me called them. Not even gonna try to correct it now.
And every now and then, my childhood habit of saying yogrit instead of yogurt will rear its head again.

Not sure if this counts, but I pronounce colonel like how it’s written, instead of by its phonetic pronunciation (“ker-nel”). >__<;;
I try to catch myself most of the time, but oh boy, I still slip up...
