Not yet anyway. I was spelling champion at primary school (elementary) and in later years at work, I often helped migrants who had difficulty because so many English words sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. For instance: flour is often mispronounced flower so a new friend recently arrived from Poland was understandably confused and wondered if perhaps it should be pronounced floor instead? I had her repeating "our house, our car, our toys" until she got the idea.
