Ä, ö, ü, õ, š, ž are just there to allow for phonemic ortography, biatch!
Though then again, I'm fairly sure that the weird Polish letters.
Also if your native tongue DOES have phonemic ortography.... Well guess how difficult it was for 6 year old me in Estonia to start learning English where the words are clearly not written the same way they're spoken????
It gets worse hearing older people here speak English because most of them did NOT start learning the language at age 5 or 6 so uhhhh... Yeah they expect the words to be pronounced the way they're spelled. Makes your ears bleed.
