My impression about this sentencs, That awesome, absolutely correct.

You know pronunciation of english is hard. Each time the sound is different. Such as: e 
Some time we spell :"/e/" , /ə/ , /ɜː/ =>>> Doesnt have any formula for spell. You have to learn exactly one by one word. I am VietNamese.

As Vietnamese we have formula, recipe to spell. That easy to read a word. English: I think ,not is best language haha.

From the beginning, human knows nothing about languages. Actually, as long as they grow up and learn about things they gradually could understand what people talking about and learn language they listen to.
