I seem to recall some of ours said [se:brEnItsa], if that's any consolation. I find /sr-/ easy enough to say, but Greek /sf-/ merges with native /sv/ [sv\_0] for me, and I think most Swedes. Unlike many, I retain the [ps] in words like _psyke_. For some reason this annoys my youngest sister no end. Andreas
