Difficulties of English spelling (+ poem)

Hello,dear readers!

How is your English studying?  Do you think English is a difficul- to-learn language? As you know, we often see the same letters, but ,to our surprise, we should read them in different ways: cut - put, read - read (past) girl -imagine, etc.  But English has  also got so- called silent letters, the letters which we can see, but mustn't say . You surely can name a lot of such words, here are some of them: night, ball,sea,although, autumn . For  beginners these words are the real problem! We know that this is the remindings  of the historical process in the  language, however, it doesn't make the process of studying English esier. Maybe one of the long-suffering English learners created this poem . It is devoted to silent letters. The author tries to imagine how  we can  gather all the silent letters and use them for creating   words and phrases .  Do you think, it's possible? Seen But Not Heard by Geoff Weilert Maybe, it's just me But it sound quite absurd To have letters in words That are seen but not heard. I have this idea Which can't be dispelled, That those aberrant words Someone long ago misspelled. These misspelled words Before anyone could sight'em Throughout all the years Were repeated ad infinitum. So words now have letters, That seem quite out of place And serve no other purpose Than taking up space. The silent letters Where ere they occurred I now gather up To make the first silent word. So watch real closely The reason's because, I might be using that word Whenever I pause. Silent sentences or paragraphs I would like to convey But the problem arises, That I really can't say.
