How anyone learns English is beyond me
“You said you were a great bass player!”
Me struggling to hold onto a huge wet slippery fish “Grimmie a second, geez!”
i still remember the best joke i told my entire time in college. a professor was talking about turnpikes and asked if anyone knew what a pike was, with a specific answer in mind..
well, i knew what a pike was
worst part was i played DnD, i knew exactly what he was asking. i just saw a low hanging fruit and an opportunity to be a smartass and you really can’t set me up like that.
Maybe start with the fact that not all words in use in English are English words.

As someone who speaks 3 languages, I can confirm english is a weak ass language.
It’s strong point is that daily and normal speech and formal writing or speech are almost the same. Thats not the case with most languages, specially the older and more complex ones.
In a way I think these things are what make English a beautiful and poetic language

…it’s because of all the colonising and stealing of words.
No ironically it has far more to do with being colonized than colonizing, although when you go that far back the distinction between terms like English, Norman, or Anglo-Saxon get a little fuzzy.

Use the International Phonetic Alphabet.
/rɛːd/, /riːd/
/ˈlɛd/, /ˈlɛd/Or make everyone switch to a language that is orthographically transparent, like Finnish, Serbo-Croatian, and Spanish.
