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 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.

@6fbf52a2 It's not just about the sound itself, but also about how the brain processes phonetic patterns — even native speakers can struggle with words that don't fit their internal speech model.
