Swedish and Norwegian spelling are pretty clear to understand, it's just that English spelling is an abomination that manages to be even worse than French spelling, "lol we've always done it this way, why change" is how you eventually end up with child marriage, human sacrifice and Mitch McConnell

That's one of the problems with english, you're just expected to know the words because we've gotten rid of all the stuff that might hint at how to pronounce it.

I mean to be fair, Swedish has no real rules for pronunciation either. The Å/O thing has some patterns, but we have plenty words spelled with O with the same sound as words with Å, and knowing if sounds are long or short is impossible, you just have to know

It's almost like this whole Latin alphabet thing was a mistake

For real though the vowel systems of most Germanic languages don't lend themselves well to Latin script since - and this from the top of my head - most Germanic languages have ~16 vowels, including glides. Latin script is a pretty sweet deal for Romance languages I guess (and Finnish, weirdly), but even then French manages to gently caress it up to a spectacular degree.
