Having in mind that all attempts to reform English spelling have failed through, a lot of attention should be given to the best strategies in teaching the current system. This is particularly important in the case of L2 learners whose L1 has a fairly straightforward mapping between orthography and phonology. In this paper we focus on some aspects of English spelling which might pose problems to such a learner.
