@esejacky Wow! Ok. The extra information makes sense. Maybe add a bit more to your sentence? “...people say it is difficult to understand what I say even if I speak loudly.” (That little bit of extra information makes it more clear that it is both difficult to hear and therefore, understand).

@esejacky Grammatically, your sentence is fine but I’m not sure about your meaning. Do you mean your voice is so low that people can’t “hear” what you say?🤔

@Cathy_Z
Thank you for your advice.
I mean, I have a very low voice like a contrabass, so it is difficult for them to recognize what I said. They can't hear clearly even if I speak loud and even in Japanese.
