yes, that's why I had a hard time getting a hang of cued speech when I was learning it. My rule of thumb is, if I can speak everything correctly phonically, then I can cue it correctly. but unfortunately, I'm still asking people how to pronounce words I never heard of (just like Beowulf is doing).  That's why I feel ASL would be easier for struggling oral-only deaf who feel they need some kind of visual language.
