For me, as somebody that learned English mostly reading, to know how to spell a word is easy but I never know if I am saying it "properly" (whatever it means in this crazy language).
I think the opposite is true for the native speakers: they started learning to speak and then they have to learn how to spell.
I used to joke that learning English is like learning Japanese; you have to learn two languages, oral and written.
