As a non-native speaker and before the advent of the panaceas called spell-checkers and auto-correct, I used to often misspell words like receive ( as "recieve") and achieve (as "acheive").

I still make the mistake sometimes and thanks to auto-correct/in-built spell checkers in browsers, I am never able to get a hang of which spelling to use when!

Is there any easy way to remember when to put 'i' before 'e'(as in "believe", "relief" etc. ) and when to put 'i' after 'e'.(receive, receipt, deceit) and so on?

A note to downvoter(s) - This is a genuine question from a non-native English speaker. Put yourself in my shoes and think about it for a moment before downvoting. You might say this as a General Reference question but I just got to know about the 'i' before 'e', Except after 'c' mnemonic/rule after reading @John Clifford's answer below. I searched with Google and within EL&U many times before asking this question. And I also see that a close vote has been cast with the reason "primarily opinion based". I have not an iota of clue why you'd choose that...
