Yes, and we have the words that uses sounds which are not found in Spanish (my case).
For example, I know that "cheat", "shit", and "sheet" are pronounced somewhat different. But we don't have short- and long-vowels (just vowels). Moreover, there are no difference between "ch" and "sh". The result is that I avoid words like "cheat" or "cheating" by fear of mis-pronouncing them.
