Q:
I often... Does this sound natural?
A:
Hmm, I'm not sure what to recommend trying... maybe just breaking down each syllable and pronounce them over and over until you can say it more easily and without chopping it up too much ^~^
Such as: usually
You could break it down as: u-su-all-y
Which would sound like: you-shoe-all-e
If you are able to make all the sounds, then try putting them all together and hopefully it will sound more natural ^-^
