the reason we have different letters than you have is this is not english. We have the vowels that represents letters. We could sound ş like sh or ç as ch. But this is not a simplistic approach. To represent a sound as a letter is much simpler than writing it as a 2 letter.

You will get use to the letters soon. Don’t worry about it.
