There are some exceptions, sure. But German pronunciation is 80% simple and regular at least whereas English is more like 80% complicated and irregular.

- pacaro 5y agoCompound words do have the potential to throw this for a loop. The pronunciation is regular if you can decompose the word, but if you miss where the word boundaries are all bets are off. For example "linkshändig"
- usr1106 5y agoThat could be true for some words, but not in your example. "sh" does not exist in any basic German word, so the boundary must be there.
