But is it like the same in other words? with "CH"?

In English, the CH in "chain" has a sound, a different one in "choir", and possible some other pronunciations in other words. These things are common in English, but they never happen in Spanish, where the same letters have ALWAYS the same sound. The combination OUGH has up to 7 different pronunciations in English - just read: "bough", "cough", "through", "thought", "though", "rough". Each OUGH has its own sound. This will never happen in Spanish. Read "child". Now add "ren" to get "children". Pronunciation changed again. This will never happen in Spanish. In "I read every day", "read" has one sound; in "I read yesterday", "read" has a different sound. This will never happen in Spanish.Get the idea? I've seen many people in my life who learnt how to read Spanish (just get the sounds, of course) in less than an hour. In English that would be impossible. Take advantage of that.
