For me as a non-native English speaker it might be a case of English having confusing pronunciations. Pronunciation of loose and lose is very similar if not the same (I probably couldn't tell them apart). One might expect lose to be pronounced similarly to words like hose, rose or pose. |

loose is /luːs/
lose is /luːz/
notice the “s” and “z”. i’m sure this doesn’t help in languages where “s” and “z” are very close together phonetically.
