He he, the first one I cannot differentiate from a French "ou" or Spanish "u",
and the second one I have difficulties to make it different from French "a",
especially if it has to be pronounced long :))) . Well, even my own conlangs
have sounds I have difficulties to pronounce :)) . As long as it's a conlang and
not an auxlang, it's not a problem with me, on the contrary (I would love to
make a conlang with clicks, if only I could pronounce them in a word...).

Well, at least that I can pronounce :) .
