English spelling is easy!

Just learn which word comes from which language.

Kindergarden. German, you spell the i like in German.

fable. French, you don’t spell every letter

Island. French

pace. Latin, you just spell it like you read it.

English has the problem that it just took words from many other languages and kept their pronunciation.

Which leads to a whole mess of words. Older words seem to have a bit more consistency.
