The problematic silent letters I come across most often among Swedes are:
- bomb
- comb
- tomb
- salmon
- almond
- corps
- debt
- psychology
- psychiatric
and for myself, I think queue with it’s four silent letters is hysterically funny.

I have to point out as a native UK-English speaker that there isn’t really a rule about the ‘t’ being silent in often and soften – some people pronounce the ‘t’ (I do), other’s don’t. It doesn’t matter.
