There are 4 Hindi consonants which sounds very similar and

create confusion

स श ष क्ष

First consonant स can be easily recogined bcause

of it's sound - Sa

Eg - Sagar, Silai, Saat, Vikas, Vilas,

These other 3 create confusion as these all sounds very similar

with a " sha" sound.

So while speaking there is no problem even if u interchnage the consonants

As all three sound same
