Since I come from a culture where our alphabet is actually consistent to how you pronounce things with no exceptions:
no.
Sure your country's high grammar might be consistent, but the general day-to-day would have influences from other languages that can't be so neatly categorised, and their pronounciation would differ from region to region
We do, and even those have rules. Not phonetic rules though
Well technically that is phonics, you see a new word, as a learner, you know how to sound it out. Compared to the Whole Word learning method where somebody has to teach you what a word says. English is a nasty mess of both.
