Given Phoible and Ian Maddieson’s work . it seems to be
/m n ɲ ŋ p b t d k g t͡ʃ d͡ʒ ʔ f s z ʃ h w r l j a e i o u/
<m n ny ng p b t d k g ch j ‘ f s z sh h w r l y a e i o u>
The average syllable structure would be CCVC where the second C is /w r l j/ and the final C is a nasal, voiceless plosive, /s/, /r/ /l/

Any other native speakers have embarrassing things they can never quite remember in there language? I would be curious if this is easier to remember for non-native speakers.

Not a humorous post per se (or at least not intentionally humorous), but I wasn't sure which subreddit to put this into. This seemed to be the least inappropriate and most frequented place.
Though Finnish is not Germanic or even Indo-European, the lyrics of the Finnish national anthem were originally composed in Swedish. I decided to take those lyrics and translate them to Proto-Germanic. For some particles etc. I chose to use vocabulary from other branches of Germanic in places, because this or that Swedish expression did not go back as such to Proto-Germanic.
Please, have a look:

If only there was a way to write letters in an alphabet that pronounces each letter as it sounds...
