From ‘salmon’ to ‘alumni’, there are just a lot of words whose pronunciations are not often gotten right by non-native English speakers.
But top on this list seems to be this very commonly-used word:
Liquor!
Yes.
Liquor, as in an alcoholic drink such as whisky, is often called out as LIKWOR by many.

Yes, according to Cambridge Dictionary, the right way to pronounce ‘liquor’ is /ˈlɪk.ər/ .
