English As a First Language

Sometimes I question how lucky I am to have English as my first language and yes, it’s my only language however, I have a few Italian words, Greek even. Not the good ones, but the Italian ones are mostly all good ones, and even a few French ones.

So, I’m very conscious about how confusing my thoughts or words are when said out loud.  How confusing they might be to people with a minimal grasp of English. But I mean spelling sometimes is a minefield.

Ragu. (Ragu is Italian, Ragout is French)

Why is it not spelt Ragoo?
It’s not because it tastes sooooo good.
Is it because it’s Italian?
It’s not a question.
I already consulted google.
