Yes, phonetics maybe 100% correct. But It's not a convenient tool. Nowadays, I will go to google to check out the pronunciation. Phonics is easier to learn.
True, it's easier to learn phonics than phonetic. My kid learn phonectics after he finished learning phonics. It's more correct to pronounce the words in phonetics. Sometimes, my manager challenged my pronounication. So now, whenever I come to a word I have not 100%, I will ask my kid to check for me first。 ,
