Reminds me of the Hungarian who came to England to learn the language and struggled for several months with increasing frustration to understand such different pronunciations as bough, cough, dough, rough and through.
One afternoon he opened a newspaper and saw a headline CAVALCADE PRONOUNCED SUCCESS.
He immediately gave up and went home.
