English is a partially phonetic language. While it is not completely phonetic, meaning that the same letter or letter combination can be pronounced differently in different words, there are consistent patterns and rules that determine pronunciation.
NO WAYYY!!! Phonetic alphabets are ones that sound like they are spelled eg. knight (if phonetic) would be spelled nit or nite. The english language is one of the hardest languages.
English is not considered a phonetic language because there is not always a one-to-one correspondence between sounds (phonemes) and letters (graphemes). This lack of consistent sound-letter relationships can make English spelling and pronunciation unpredictable for learners. Additionally, English has borrowed words from many other languages which can further complicate pronunciation.

About 30% of English words are believed to have French origin. This is due to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, which introduced a significant amount of French vocabulary into the English language.
The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) uses symbols to represent speech sounds, while the Roman alphabet is used to write English letters. The IPA provides a specific symbol for each unique sound in any language, whereas the Roman alphabet has a limited number of letters that represent both sounds and spelling conventions in English. IPA symbols aim to accurately represent any language's sounds, while the Roman alphabet is specific to English and may not capture the nuances of pronunciation in other languages.
