You do realize that words have different intonation and e.g.
Hell
Hello
Have quite different.

I would recommend that you all learn finnish. It´s pretty much spelled as it´s written

"Finnish uses just 38 spellings for its 38 sounds. Other European languages have an average of 50 graphemes.

The Finnish orthography exemplifies alphabetic perfection. English spelling does the opposite. It uses 185 spellings for its 43½ sounds, and is the most irregular and hardest-to-master European writing system."

But well for some reason I do not believe that learning finnish is rational thing to do
