Finnish is extremely easy, there is one sound for each letter and zero exceptions.

Spanish is also very predictable. While there are a few exceptions (like 'c' can be 'c' or 's'), they are very easy rules to follow, so never any surprises.

English and French are in the batshit crazy category. It's pretty much all random, you just have to know from memorization.



French is very hard to write correctly, but it's pretty easy to read - while rules are weird, they are also quite consistent.

English is hard to both read and write.
