What is the hardest word to pronounce that you know of in Spanish? Please include names and proper names, as they can be a challenge. One of my learning strategies is to learn the most difficult words as I encounter them. Thanks to all who answer.

How about Rodríguez and el refrigerador? Those "R" vowel blends and rolling "R's" just tie up my tongue. Oh yes, how about "tortillería?

Generador (generator)...I spent days and days saying that over and over. And, just now, I consider anaranjada to be a toughie...thanks luzhon.
