ok how many of you guy were like "ok" until the last letter

I am officially in love with this language. I am a bit worried that there may be sounds that the alphabet does not account for. Just like in english. For instance, there is no letter that makes the zh sound in the word transfusion. We just have to learn that sion is pronounced zhun like in the word transfusion. In the vietnamese word for 3, ba. To me, the B that sounds like the west african Gb, where you suck in air slightly with your lips rather than blow out. but i don't see that letter here.
