Since English is not my language, is there such a rule ?

It is called a rule of thumb (the full version being "i before e except after c"), which is to say a rule that works most of the time but sometimes fails and you basically just have to remember those failings.

You probably learned something similar when it comes to verbs and irregular verbs. Which is to say most of the time verbs do this except this list of ones that don't

and then for the irregular stuff

I before E is a dumb rule that doesn't even work
Newton's laws of motion don't work (try going very fast or being very small and seeing what goes there) but we still teach kids them as they are pretty useful for day to day life and most things people do.
