The European Commission on Languages has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w"with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

I think wat u can truly do is focus on grammer if u first teach the grammer properly then all gets easy and mush more better.
U can make a book on words used on daily basis and then the words which r terminologies for certain aspects like medicines, law, government , etc that way u'd make it easy. I think when u go to todays market u do get medical dictionaries, law dictionaries, etc so that it makes things easy.
Make a book for adages with the meanings listed besides it.
Words which are hard to spell are to be organised in a seperate book.
Silent letters used in some words will form a different catagory.
Simplify the words and phrases in a easy organised manner.
But Most important of all the things if ur grammer is no good no language is good ever.
Try and master the grammer to some extent atleast so that u are at ease with the language, it will never look like a monster to u ever.
English is a very very sweet and se*y language and i so love it but till the grammer isn't perfect nothing will seem sweet n se*y lol
Make it a point to get a grammer book or a teacher who teaches english to sort things out for u, to the method I've explained to u above, it shud be helpful. Any thing organised and simplified into parts is easy to learn and grasp then to crowd and get confused.

There is no point in exercises like this; Prof. Zamenhoff invented Esperanto in order to have the simplest possible language, but it only works if the new "simple language" is in someway related to what you already speak. For example, you could make English as simple as you like but: (a) people would still speak it the way they have always spoken it (b) it would not be any simpler for people whose native languages are not related to the Indo-European language group and (c) there would still be people who want to simplify it further.
"Simplifying" spelling is not an option; no two communities speak Engliash the same way so you would have to spell the word "often" as it is for some people and "offen" for others; words like "buck" would have an infinite number of different spellings to cater for the different ways the "u" sound is pronounced and you would, in any case, destroy a rich linguistic heritage for the sake of a few lazy people who cannot be bothered to learn to spell properly.

To make it easier for children, those who teach them should avoid using slang, idioms, and long words, try to see the situation from a child's point of view, and, to start with, get children to try to read short, simple pieces of writing such as nursery rhymes or poems, rather than whole books.

Study phonics and the way words are pronounced.
Phonics is taught is elementary to help students learn how to sound out words. It helps explains why we pronounce the words the way we do.
Just keep studying.

Either forget about English and never go back to it OR constantly practice listening, writing, reading, speaking, watching.

There are already attempts for that. Simple English:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_English
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_English
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_English
If you still dislike any of those, use them as a starting point.
