    Yeah English is really silly. I can only apologise for through / though / thought etc. The ough did used to make sense in pronunciation, but has long since fallen out of use.

    Any good resources spring to mind for learning French btw? I’ve been smashing through Duolingo but it’s a 6/10 at best tbh.

      No, sorry, I’m actually French so I would not really have use for these

      I know that for English, subscribing to various EN youtube channels helped me a lot, but obviously you need some base level to understand enough of it for it to be useful

      Also, I think learning how to write French is wayyy harder than learning to listen, read or even speak French, so I’d advise against really trying to be able to write, and focusing more on the 3 other aspects.

      If you have French-related questions, feel free to pm me :)
