Portuguese really likes dropping C's doesn't it

Everybody most hated letter. It doesn't make anysense.

CA sounds like KA CE sounds like SE CI sounds like SI CO sounds like KO CU sounds like KU

In german ck is just k or kk, ch sound like something stuck in throat or hiss, sch is sh.

Only reason need c to make harsh sound.

There was an international agreement in the 1970s about that. I imagine Portugal didn't like any bit of it.
