Oh, okay now I understand your question better, I keep pronouncing Stuttgart with an "s" sound instead of an "sh" sound, I keep doing that with those types of words, "Sterne" is another one that I'm misprouncing as an "s" sound instead of the "sh" sound even though I hear that word a lot because it is part of a the title of a song I like and I hear it in the song. I'll eventually get to pronouncing these words correctly.
