  When I write I visualise the words-sentences in my head and just type it down. I know the meaning of what I’m writing so it’s very mechanical and “automatic”. Like writing hieroglyphs and knowing their meaning but not how they’re pronounced. When I read there’s obviously that voice in my head trying to pronounce what I’m reading, but since nothing is phonetic it’s tough. When I write I don’t have that voice bothering me.

  I find English pronunciation very irregular (not phonetic). So reading is hard. Speaking too, because when I construct a sentence in English I “write” it in my head (visually-mentally), then “read” it (vocalise what I visualise); but since my reading is bad in the first place…
