How do you spell harder words?

The English language is difficult to learn even for those born in English-speaking countries. So it's important to understand some of the basic rules of how words are built, letter on letter and sound on sound. For example of sound: If you know the "sch" sound, as in the word "school", you will then know all words with the "sch" sound would have the same s-c-h spelling. But you'd also need to know the rule that "-tion" has a similar sound. When you have the building blocks of sounds, then it will be easier to "sound out" words and it will be easier to spell the word--- even hard ones! The next time you see a hard word, try sounding it sound out and look at how those sounds go with certain letters or letter-combinations. Break the word into syllables, like this "com-bin-a-tion". In that example, the "tion" sounds like "shuun" but if you know the basic rules, you'll see that most "shuun" sounds in words are spelled "-tion" and that this particular group of letters is typically at the end of a word.
