The trouble with English is that many words which are pronounced phonetically and it can just be a case of learning each variation individually. ) languages but it is quite possible for a native speaker to come across a new word and not know how to pronounce it. Phonics certainly gives you a good groundwork though, so persevere with it.

- 'ove' is pronounced 'uv' so gluv, luv.
- oin is pronounced 'oy-n' in coin and some other words.

It may seem bizarre to speakers of more sensible (!) languages but it is quite possible for a native speaker to come across a new word and not know how to pronounce it.

Hi,
'uv' is not really a word, it is just how you would pronounce the syllable 'ove' in some words. I can't think of any helpful examples as they are all spelt 'ove' as well!
Think of the word 'other'. The 'o' matches the 'u' sound. Then you need to follow it with a 'v' sound instead of the 'th'.
