The Absolutely Absurd English Spelling Non-System
Spelling is only one huge area that makes learning English difficult.
Students have to contend with awkward and sense-less pronunciation.
There are languages, such as Spanish, where you pronounce the words as they are written.
In English, there are several ways to pronounce words that have almost the same letter combinations, such as; through, bough, rough and trough.
Silent letters are also present in the beginning, middle and end of some words as well.
Examples include:
​
-
knife 'k' nFf
-
write 'w' rFt
-
daughter 'gh' dOtE
-
aisle 's' Fl
-
gnome 'g' nGm
-
psychology 'p' sFkolEgee
-
knee 'k' nee
-
lamb 'b' lam
-
knock 'k' and 'c-' ? noc or nok (free choice)
-
half 'l' haaf
-
wrist 'w' rist
-
plumber 'b' plumE
​
You can probably list many more. Spelling of course has evolved from old English spellings and foreign imports.

SOLUTION: There are 46 characters in the Lingojam alphabet; each has a single job which is to represent ONE SOUND.
​
There are no exceptions at all.
The spelling in Lingojam is 100% without doubt.
​
The characters are seen above, and here.
​
HERE ARE 11 OF THE 13 VOWELS.
​
1 there are 3 'a' vowels sounds - represented by;
​
'a' as in bat - bat
'aa' as in bar - baa
'A' as in bay - bA
​
[ In Lingojam, we have done away with saying A, B, C, D etc. That's a good system but it's inadequate for a 46 character alphabet.
​
In Lingojam, we say (for the 3 'a' sounds, above:
​
bat, bar, bay - or bat, baa, bA
​
​
2 for the 3 'e' vowel sounds, we say,
​
fed, feet, (farm)er
or fed, feet, faam(E)
​
3 for the single 'i' vowel sound, we say,
​
hit or hit
​
4 for the 3 'o' vowel sounds, we say,
​
john, jute, jaw
or jon, joot, jO
​
4 for the 3 'u' vowel sounds, we say,
​

or mut, wuud, wU
​
If you can think of a word rhyming with mutt, but beginning with 'w' let us know!
