I'm a native French speaker and French spelling is very irregular. There are tons of unspoken letters and the accents make it even more complex, especially the "accent circonflexe" (^) which is usually silent. Some examples: - temps (time): the "p" and "s" are completely silent - oignon (onion): pronounced as "ognon" (the "i" is silent) - asseoir (sit down): pronounced as "assoir" (the "e" is silent) - poids (weight): the "d" and "s" are silent. "poi" (pea) is also a word. - most words ending on "ou" take an "s" in plural, e.g. "verrou" becomes "verrous", except for certain words like "hibou", which becomes "hiboux" in plural. - the noun "dépôt" takes the "^" accent, yet its derived verb "déposer" does not.
