In Arabic, students can easily pronounce words by just looking at them . In English, there are some words which are spelt with different ways , but they have the same pronunciation. For example, the words (rain) , (rein ) and (reign) , they pronounce in the same way / reɪn/ for the learners who do not mastery pronunciation in the right way , it is difficult to pronounce and they pronounce each word by looking at its spelling .
