Even the beginning learners of English as a second language know how complex the spelling system of English is. The long history of language development has introduced some specific rules for English spelling and this is why it is challenging to learn not only spelling, but also pronunciation.

In English, every sound could be spelled in multiple ways, which is not the case with languages that have phonetic spelling. In these languages each sound has a single letter to represent it in all words. 

To be able to understand correct pronunciation of words that have a strange spelling, you must know spelling rules of both British and American English pronunciation.
