There’s a good reason why English is such a difficult language to learn. Take, for example, the letter combination o-u-g-h. I can think of at least seven different ways to pronounce it.
“Bough” rhymes with “cow”.
“Cough” rhymes with “off”.
“Tough” rhymes with “stuff”.
“Though” rhymes with “so”.
“Thought” rhymes with “court”.
“Through” rhymes with “blue”.
And I have no idea what rhymes with “thorough”.
