Yes. Surely it has to be easier for me (who grew up learning a germanic language,) to learn another one of them. I occasionally like to watch these Youtube videos on why for example English has a handful of ways to pronounce "ough". I still think the French are crazy people for writing l'eau and pronouncing it "oh", when it's literally the one vowel missing in that word. Or coming up with insane concepts like a silent letter "x" in the plural words... But you're right. I remember there was almost always some rule to it.
