Usually the most difficult words to pronounce are words with a combination of sounds that doesn't occur in your native language.  For example, if your language doesn't have the "th" sound, and uses a rolled r, then the words there, Thursday, three and weather will all be challenging for you.
If your language uses one sound for w and v, or interchanges them, then words like whenever, wherever, and we've will be your difficult words.

Try practicing the w and v combination with this video about the word however.
Try practicing the r and th combination with this video about the phrase from the.
