We face that most when we come to pronounce , some are common and we use and reapeat , like

Women , for the first time when we come to pronounce sure we will pronounce in a wrong way.

Most words with silent letters may cause confuse ,(ough) in some words are different in pronounciation like plough , though , there is a difference sure in pronouncing although they are ending with the same letters ,also character, we dont use it as ch here in pronouncing but in a different way as k .

We all go back to dictionaries to get the right pronounciation although some words may seem easy to pronounce.
