Isn't that what the "international alphabet" is for?

I wouldn't know...when I see romanized Chinese, 90% of the time I can't understand it...

gotta understand that Chinese is made up of single syllable words..so yes, there's about a million meanings to any single sound..only through context and character differences so you know which it means..

You mean like there, their, and they're?

Two, to, and too?

Bow, bow, and bow?

In the past I used to teach both Polish and English to foreigners of many nationalities. I may assure you that English is much easier to be learnt for communicative purposes than any Slavic language

Finnish/Hungarian/Estonian seem to be more difficult as far a grammar is concerned, Russian/Bulgarian/Greek - for a different (Cyrillic) alphabet.

Maybe Nebulosa should act expert?

Her English and Polish have improved significantly over the last couple of years.
