Oh, most of English is really rather simple - a few irregularities here and there but nothing unusual, and of course spelling that is only vaguely related to pronunciation which is a bit tough although which I don't find unusual for the PoV of my own native language - but particles especially how they related to verbs, yeah those are really treacherous little bugger that will trip you down when you're not looking so they can point and laugh at you when you sprawled down the floor.

Haha, in all fairness though, English spelling is a whole entity of its own in terms of how often it changed in the UK alone, and this was way before post-Revolutionary War Americans decided they wanted an "English spelling" of their own by taking out a few extra vowels and consonants, among other things. Now French on the other hand...that's definitely one language where I struggle tremendously to pronounce, even when I try reading it. @_@

As a French teacher, I have to say... the pronunciation and spelling are a little more consistent than they are in English. English is just freaking ridiculous - laughter vs slaughter, for example. That said, French is still pretty high up there on the "how the hell do I spell/pronounce that?" scale.

The thing about English spelling is that it literally borrows elements from various languages including Germanic and Romance languages (a testament to the various countries that invaded Britain back in the day). French spelling in relation to pronunciation isn't too radical...it's actually pretty straight forward once you learn the rules. In my case, pronunciation isn't too complacated, but I always trump it on the French 'r'; the more r's there are in a word, the harder it is for me to pronounce. The French word for laugh (rire) particularly comes to mind. :<
