Yes, English pronunciation is extremely difficult. There are really no pure phonetic languages, but you are correct that German and Spanish are pretty close. I can read aloud a random text in Spanish and most native Spanish speakers will understand me, even though I would have no clue what I am reading.
I took my phonetics mid-term exam a few days ago. One question asked to identify the vowel sounds in tomb, gnaw, ago, and onion. It was a hard question but I only got tomb wrong. The right answer was /u:/, but who would've known it?
Thanks a lot for the information . This means that there is no harmony between sound n spelling in English . Arabic is a phonetic language .
