What's interesting is that Spanish is basically flawless in the pairing of writing and speaking. All vowels and consonants sound the same no matter where they occur, with a handful of exceptions that are handled by writing other ways.
It's like Japanese that way.
Italian is nearly the same. French gets more complicated, though. I don't know about Portuguese and Romanian and such.
