Maybe beginners who learn in the classroom are lucky indeed...

But don't worry. As the beginners over the years get more and more
fluent and used to using English, they'll start making the same
kind of mistakes as the natives, so you are not alone in setting a
bad example! :-)

It's these languages that lack the isomorphism between
pronounciation and writing... fortunately in Finnish writing is
still so fresh we don't have this problem... not yet that is...
