I’m left-handed not deaf

The Spanish for left-handed is zurdo. And for deaf is sordo.

Remember in Colombian Spanish we don’t lisp the “z” like they do in Spain so the only difference between the two words is the vowel. I am left-handed but not deaf and always have to do a quick check in my mental dictionary that I am getting it right.

I had the same problem in German with Sekt (sparkling wine) and Senf (mustard).
