The fact that Sz in Hungarian reads as s and other way around, S becomes sh - is mind-boggling especially for Poles, where Sz is pronounced as sh. and S remains s.

Wait for the Italian where "cc" makes a "ch" sound and "ch" is "k"

* When followed by e or i.

In Spanish "z" always sounds [s] (except in Spain where it sounds [θ]), but "s" can often sound [z].
