Does this sentence make sense?

0 Hi,02br
02br
00I know we can say:02br
00He hurt himself trying to save a girl.02br
02br
00Then in the same pattern, does the following sentence make sense, or create any ambiguity?02br
00Many people find pronunciation to be very difficult speaking another language.02br
02br
00And is it grammatically correct?02br
02br
00Still, how is it different from the one below?02br
00Many people find pronunciation to be very difficult when speaking another language.02br
02br
00Thanks a lot! 0-
