English is a highly phonetic language. True or False? Explain

Indicate whether the statement is true or false


False. A highly phonetic language is a language in which each letter nearly always represents only one sound, regardless of where the letter appears in a word. English is not, unfortunately, a highly phonetic language. Although about half the letters in the English language are highly regular in that they nearly always represent the same sound, the other half of the letters are quite irregular. The sound these letters make varies considerably, depending on the context in which they appear. To determine what sound a particular letter represents, a reader must take into account the letters that follow it in a word. For example, if the letter o is followed by another o, the letter o may make the /oo/
