I used to think that English was easy but I learned better in HS. I went to a boarding school where we had kids from MX that came here to learn English. This post shows what the Mexican kids pointed out to me; English words might look similar but they're pronounced differently. When you look in the dictionary, you see that words in English have origins in various languages. And while they look similar, the origin changes how they're pronounced.
