I mean, the issue there is more about a collection of languages all using the same alphabet but where letters have language- and dialect-dependent sounds, as well as wildly varying rules for how to pronounce letter combinations (and then English isn't even consistent on that in the same language and dialect).

Appreciation and tolerance of food are different from understanding of languages and pronounciation.
