They didn’t teach pronunciation when you learned to read English? That’s one of the very first parts of instruction when teaching it to native speakers. That’s also how instruction went when I learned Spanish. Granted, those are both Latin based languages, so I have no idea how it would work for something like Chinese to English.
Probably depends on how much formal education you had and how much is from reading books and stuff on the Internet.
The Problem with English pronunciation is, that it’s completely arbitrary, depending from which language the word is originally. I don’t know about Spanish but in French you can usually derive a words pronunciation from it’s spelling and vice versa.
