When I first started (ooh look, I'm pretending to have been around for
a while now) I was mispronouncing "gismu" like "djismu" (still s and not
z though). Also I was pronouncing lojban wrong too (with the o as a,
and the a as the a in "band").
I think it's because I got those words before I got to the pronunciation
guide :)
Nowadays the only thing that I am screwing up (afaik) is that I
have trouble remembing not to pronounce a "e" at the end of a word
like "ei". (which can cause a different meaning bau la lojban.,
heh heh).
