What language is this for?
Some languages are going to be pretty hard, such as Chinese (also, the 
same character can have very different pronunciations depending on the 
dialect used) or English.
As I remember it, an example for English is "read",
which can either be pronounced like "red" (like when "read" is a past 
tense verb)
or like "reed" (like when "read" is a present tense verb).
