Seriously, English would be much easier to learn for foreigners if it had rules by which one could derive the pronunciation of a word from its spelling. You know, like most other languages do. But NO, you have to learn every word one by one. (And I'm not even mentioning words that have one spelling and two pronunciations depending on meaning, like lead or read. You're supposed to derive meaning from pronunciation, not the other way around!)
