Not neccessarily. I have talked and listened to several Japanese friends, and I've noticed that although it seems that they don't pronounce the "u" in "desu," they actually do, it's just not stressed very much.
Also, it's a good idea to get into the habit of remembering that there are no single consonants in the Japanese language except for "n." By doing this, it's a lot easier to transfer from romaji to hiragana.
