Once you learn the sounds for the letters, they piece together just as spelled, unlike English where we change everything based on some whim. In Spanish, a is always pronounced "ah", in German, a is pronounced the same, in French, the same, but in English in can be "ah", "ay", like the a in "at", etc. I found pronunciation in the 5 languages I've studies to be failry uniform except for English.

>>Nah, pronunciations changes because people in general are to lazy/stupid to learn the correct pronunciation and bastardize them. That's why you got "alligator" from "el Legarto".
