Joseph,
I already knew that english was likely your second language. I had no idea you were deaf also. My apologies. As STEVE mentioned, many "americans" actually went through the same thing. The first German, Italians, Polish, etc all had to learn a new language. It's no big deal. I didn't know you had hearing issues as well. It probably makes it twice as tough.
As long as you understand what the fish are saying.
