Why is the English language so hard to understand?
O'm trying to teach my son to read. He is doing well, but oftentimes he will ask me " is that a long vowel sound or short sound?" It's hard to tell him the hard and fast rules of the language, because those rules don't always apply. The same word the appears two pages later is not pronounced the same way as the word that looks exactly the same two pages before. How do you explain a language to a five year old when you don't understand it yourself?
Does anyone have any advice?
