Hehe I'm a hearie but I'm a native English speaker living in Turkey. I used to live in a neighborhood by the Galata Tower, called "Kuledibi." And my mouth just did not want to pronounce that word! When I'd get in a taxi, I'd have to tell the taxi driver "Kuledibi'ne rica ederim" (To Kuledibi, please). I would rehearse and rehearse, get it right, I'd get in the taxi, and out would come "Kulebidibe" or something. After a while I just started saying "Take me to the Galata Tower."
