I very rarely meet anyone who says "truck" - most people I know say "chruck" and when they say "truck" it sounds very forced. Same with other words that start with "tr". They push the word through their teeth rather than putting their tongue on the roof of their mouth.

Enunciation is key.

True story. Went to middle school with a girl who had an American mother and a Vietnamese father. His English was passable, but he was far from fluent. He wanted to give his daughter a pretty English word that he liked the sound of: Diarrhea.

Their last name was Ng. Her name would have literally been "Diarrhea-Ing"

Fortunately, her mother put a stop to that and "Stephanie" was forever thankful.

Rock it, my dude! Gender roles are for squares!

Also, have you heard of Mark Bryan? I swear that man puts any chance of me in a skirt to shame [doesn't stop me from trying though!]

Four Corners area. Navajo fry bread, I still dream about it. Also the Smithsonian has a Native American museum with a great cafeteria, all things considered. It was under renovation last time I went. I hope it still good, if not better.
