While my speech is good, I don't quite sound like a hearing person. I avoid most words that have more than 1 syllable as they're harder to pronounce.
I still dread pronouncing names like Elizabeth as the hearing do get offended if you say their names wrong. I can say Elizabeth just fine nowadays.
One of my most embarrassing moments came when I learned the hard way that the Chinese surname Hung is not pronounced same as the English word hung. The ng sound is pronounced different from the ng sound in English.
I notice that I have a tendency to stutter a bit when trying to pronounce words to a total stranger.
