You know that English is Not Phonetic...don't you?

English is not Phonetic

Always remember that English is not "phonetic". That means that we do not always say a word the same way that we spell it.
Some words can have the same spelling but different pronunciation, for example:

I like to read [ri:d]. 
I have read [red] that book.

Some words have different spelling but the same pronunciation, for example: 

I have read [red] that book
My favourite colour is red [red].
