"Asked"

To know whether someone's English pronunciation is good enough, test him/her with this one word: "asked".

One who is not used to speaking English would pronounce every single letter on that particular word, hence the awkward succession from letter k to letter d.

On the other hand, one who is used to real British/American (or Aussies, as not to alienate them) accent of English would pronounce "Asked" with an almost silent k.
