Unfortunately, it's not possible to achieve perfect compatibility with
every language, though Lojban does try to minimize this sort of thing.
English speakers have similar difficulty distinguishing {k} from {x} or
{x} from {'}, and a lot of us get it wrong.

{j} is voiced, like {d}, {b}, {g}. If you draw it out you make a noise
like a motorcycle engine revving.

{c} in unvoiced, like {t}, {p}, {k}. If you draw it out you make a noise
like two sheets of paper sliding past each other.
