English is a tricky language with many words that are NOT pronounced as written. There are no rules when it comes to pronunciation. It all depends on where you live in the world, how your family pronounced them words, etc. You just need to do a lot of memorizing. That's the way it is. French is similar to English in that way; it's even worse with masculine and feminine articles for every noun. But trust me, there are languages in the world where ALL words are pronounced EXACTLY as they are written. Want to make a guess?
