In Italian "Spelling is clearly phonemic [=the way it sounds] and difficult to mistake given a clear pronunciation" - that's from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language#Sounds
English "presents many challenges due to its very irregular spelling pattern, despite many "general rules" that exist within English. The pronunciation behavior of the letter g in English can be especially challenging to master" - that's from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_soft_G
As far as STAGE goes, "A silent e sometimes occurs at the end of a word — or at the end of a component root word that is part of a larger word — with g immediately before the silent e. In this situation, the e usually serves a marking function that helps to indicate that the g immediately before it is soft".
I just looked through both of those English articles and I didn't understand a lot of it. Does the Italian Wikipedia at http://it.wikipedia.org have something about English pronunciation that helps you?
