You are doing well for a learner of six months. Your email
address suggests that your first language may be French.
English spelling has about the same level of irregularity as
French spelling, perhaps slightly more. I am a little
surprised that you are apparently not already aware of this.

If your first language is French I would strongly advise that
you search out for a book in French that deals systematically
with the phonetics of English and which includes practical
guidance on pronunciation. Don't just rely on picking it up
from native English speakers.

If you wish to know how any individual word is pronounced
there is J.C. Wells' pronunciation dictionary:

There are no such rules, or at least there is no concise set of such
rules (that is, any exhaustive set of rules would consist mostly of
long lists of exceptions).

English has many words whose pronunciations are a fluke of history
rather than the result of set of rules, and many loan words from other
languages. Also, there many fairly common words whose pronunciation
depends on context (Job, Polish, Present).

It's mostly memorization.

As Philip Baker suggests in another message, find a book and study it.
