First, let me correct your question. Is learning the English language phonetic? Phonetic learning is basically carried out using the sound of a language. If you can learn the sounds, then you can learn the language..... And yes, English is a somewhat phonetic language..... And yes, learning a foreign language MUST be done with a native speaker for it to be truly efficient, and to form an accent and speak like the people of a certain place in the world. In English you have british, australian, canadian, or american English to choose from. good luck to you.
