Tbh yacht doesn't look like it would be out of place in German or one of the more brusque languages. Especially if you assume it's pronounced "yahkkt"

It's the same word in French and I used to pronounce it yasht up until I was 9 when my sister told me that "yôt" and "yacht" were just the oral and written version of the same word. So it didn't feel out of place, just of bit of a trap.

You'll have to Google and listen to it, because I don't know how to describe the "cht" sound.

Frankly, growing up with Swedish it was quite a relief to learn English.

I lived in a non-English speaking country and at the end of 3 years I could count to 10, ask "How much is that" but not necessarily understand the answer, and say "Excuse me". I have nothing but total admiration for anyone who come from another language and can hold a conversation in English, even if it's a bit rough.

Or just learning any language. Except Spanish that language is easy.
