English is a very hard language to learn when it comes to pronounciation and spelling. It's grammar however is not as hard as Spanish grammar, IMO. Spanish grammar is quite difficult, partly because we have two verbs to be (ser and estar), gender (el , la) and too many adverbs. There's also the accents rules. But when it comes to pronounciation and spelling we keep it simple. Words are spelled exactly as they are pronounced. We have only five standard sounds for vowels. Sometimes, I don't understand the logic of English pronounciation and spelling. For example the word through. Seven letters just to pronounce three. In Spanish, it'll be something like "tru".
