Connie,

Yes, it will take awhile but soon you will master those certain words. Try saying that Word..(CERTAIN) I could not for the longest time. I still have some problems off and on if I try talking to fast.

Just know that each day, week and month will bring some small improvement..

Take care... Diane smile
