For non native speakers that don’t understand the “lead” and “lead” thing: first ‘lead’ is as in “He leads the boys ahead” or “He is the romantic lead.” Second “lead” is as in the metal or the gray thing in pencils. This also rhymes with “led” which is the past tense of “lead.”

Same in Finnish. One often hears an English speaker ask "how to pronounce" a word/name. Or that "I don't know how to say that word/name". That doesn't happen in languages where letters always are said the same way: we all say it the same way. There is no hesitation how to say unknown words. (Of course we say it different than the people whose language the unknown word/name is). Actually in Finnish one rather rare sound though doesn't have a letter: it is written with two letters.

The other is to be active, which rhymes with “dive”. “Read” also has two meanings. The first is *to* read, and rhymes with “need”. The second is the past tense of “to read”, and rhymes with “head”.

I'm French and yes grammar in french can be WTF, but English pronunciation is WTF++++++ No rules.. No putain of rules.. We need to memorize the pronunciation of each word. WHY? Why not decide A is A and not another A.. Why english dont use A as French, Spanish, Italian, German etc.. A as bAnAnA .. In English A can be the sound É in french or A in french... WHY??? With that, English uses 60% of French/Latin vocabulary. This means that in the English language, there are 60% of words that are also in French. (So, already... why are English speakers bad at French when there are 60% of words that we share), but especially a lot of French words... You don't use the pronunciation of the English alphabet. An example: 'Decapitation'. In French, we say: 'Décapitation'. Why in English does the 'E' which is pronounced like the French 'i'... Why do you pronounce it like the French 'É'? Sometimes I think that English is a bastard language that started with a Germanic base and then continued with French, and therefore there is no logic in this language.

Hey, don't worry too much about it. I'm a native speaker and while I _know_ how hearth is meant to be pronounced whenever I wind up needing to say it I always wind up pronouncing it to rhyme with earth. English _does that_ to everyone.

English is an amalgamation of several tribe languages (think Anglo Saxon), German, French, with enough Latin and Greek to make it extra spicy. So in making a language that everyone could understand they did away with most verb conjugations and accent marks so that everyone could learn to read and understand one language. If you look at true old English it looks and sounds Germanic when spoken. Over time I think with the two nations fighting and conquering each other the two languages got a little closer together... But mostly to make their own more confusing.

English could be the easiest language to learn, there’s no grammatical rules like other languages so basically you have to learn each word separately because they makes no sense… and also that’s the reason to native English speakers can’t learn another language… ✌️

Yet we Americans pronounce "lieutenent" as "lyoo-ten-ent" while Brits say "lef - ten - ant" And when I first heard Brits say "left-ten-ant," I wondered why they never referred to a "right -ten-ant" It turns out that somewhere along the way, British "ieu" slid into the phonemes "ef." It was a peculiarity of phoneme evolution. "ye" is actually a rewriting of the Norse "the." It was written as thorn-e-that is, thorn that looked like a Greek lower case Sigma with a cross on the top curlicue. The thorn, if you look at it sideways, looks like a tiny "y" on top of a big, flourished "O" - like tail. When the printing press came about, there was no thorn, so printers used "y" for "th," and Norse "the" became "ye."

As a non-English speaker, from years of learning and using it, I learned that English does not have pronunciation rules. Even if at sometimes it might have some rules, you need to put this assumption in your head as you learn to avoid this confusion. You need to know the pronunciation of every word. This the number one rule I tell my kids as they learn too. However, by time you can predict many pronunciation of many words you face for the first time. I leaned some French in high school and practicing some German and Spanish using Duolingo. They are more reasonable and easier when it comes to pronunciation. I appreciate learning English first very early in my education because it makes any other European language easier to learn.
