you're doing a good job! do not give up! Every Pole is aware that Polish is a very difficult language. but what we appreciate the most is that a foreigner tries to speak Polish. don't worry if you don't say "ą" or "ę" correctly, because we'll understand you anyway. a little trick: instead of "ę" say "en" and instead of "ą" say "o n" and you will be well understood. most Poles say that :) if you need any help write to me :)
Cześć Sarah, I'm a native English speaker myself and I love your channel. I'm also learning Polish and like you I'm at the A2 level. My intent is to move to Poland later this year. Something I've learned along the way is when faced with a difficult to pronounce word is to start at the end of the word and move forwards. I learned it from one of my many language courses I've taken. I've been able to pronounce almost any word and now I look for really hard words to try. Pronunciation has not been a problem for me though, maybe because I'm Polish by ancestry. I used to love rolling my R's as a child. Good luck with your new superpower.
As a Polish native I can't imagine learning Polish cases/words conjugation as an adult 😱😱 So many different endings and combinations, Lord have mercy on Polish language learners 😂
Hello Sarah :) It's the first time I see you but I like your video. As for the pronunciation of "książka", the ż is pronounced kind of like the second "g" in "garage" or like french "j" in "je". Or even better - the “ąż” part is like in French "étrange" (in polish we would write the pronunciation as “etrĄŻ”). Generally I thinkit might be helpful to know that our “ą” and “ę” is pronunced as in French - (“ą” as in “temps” - [tą] [“time” in french]) and “ę” as french “un”. BTW all the Polish ppl in the comments below are stunned by your Polish. Absolutely - great job.
Pretty good so far Sarah letter Ż is giving you probably the hardest time in this video and on lighter side 100 is easy to pronounce. If you want other words that might give you a hard time try źdźbło, Dżdżownica, żółć, przestrzeń, arbitraż.
Hi, I'm Polish, but I live in Germany for over 10 years now. My husband is German and he doesn't speak Polish. OK, he can understand a little bit, but thats all. He'd also said to me, that the words "dziewięć" and "dziesięć" are the same for him and he doesn't hear the difference between them :-) but I have to say... "Konstantynopolitanczykkowianeczka" it's nothing in compare with a normal German words (Verwaltungsfachangestellte, Veranstaltungsprogramm, Arbeitsunfallversicherung - they have soooo many of them!!!!) :-)
Oder auch "Schifffahrtskapitänsmützenabzeichen" 😉 Mit "dziewięć" und "dziesięć" hatte ich auch meine Probleme. Aber nicht, dass ich keinen Unterschied gehört hätte, sondern einfach nur, mir zu merken, welches denn welche Zahl ist. Ich habe mir dann eine Art "Eselsbrücke" überlegt. Und zwar ist es genau umgekehrt zum Alphabet. Im Alphabet kommt "w" (wie in dziewięć) von der Reihenfolge her nach "s" (wie in dziesięć). Nachdem es, wie gesagt, "umgekehrt" zum Alphabet ist, weiß ich somit, dass bei den Zahlen also zuerst "dziewięć" kommt, dann "dziesięć". So ähnlich habe ich mir auch "wejście i wyjście" gemerkt. In "wejście" ist das "E", wie in "Eingang". Das ohne "E" ist dann folglich der Ausgang.
I absolutelly love how you prenounce "W" sound. Because on the one hand you say it like Polish "W" but on the other hand it kinda sounds like English "Ł" sound. It's something in between. You are saying Polish "W" but you can tell that there is English "Ł" somewhere there. It's actually kinda sweet 🙂
I applaud you for your persistence, Sarah! I wanted to share a tip about one thing that might be helpful (if you haven't learned that already). I'm sure you know how in English the vowels are: A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y. In Polish, Y is always a vowel! So when you see a word like "Życzyć" remember that Y is a vowel. Another thing that might be helpful is to correlate the coupled consonants like SZ and CZ with English SH and CH - same pronunciation. Keep up the great work! 😄
Komentarz był do autorki video. My oczywiście wyraźnie rozróżniamy wymowę „ś” i „sz”, ale osoby angielskojęzyczne maja problem z tym rozróżnieniem. Oni nie słyszą tej różnicy i tym samym ciężko im to powielić w wymowie, dlatego raczej oferowałam jej pomoc w skojarzeniu podobnych dźwięków w porównaniu do j. angielskiego, gdzie ich „sh” brzmi jak coś pomiędzy naszym „ś” i „sz”. Mieszkam w Kanadzie i jestem obujęzyczna. Widzę jednak, ze nawet moje dzieci maja problem z rozróżnieniem tych dwóch dźwięków w naszym języku. Dla kogoś jak Sarah jest to prawie niemożliwe, przynajmniej na tym etapie nauki języka, wiec nie chodzi tu o skupianie się na wyższej szkoły jazdy.
WITAJ Sarah .Jak na początek to naprawdę świetnie dajesz sobie radę z językiem polskim . Moja rada dla ciebie : oglądaj po polsku filmy , programy telewizyjne , przebywaj i rozmawiaj (nie bój się mówić !!!!) z Polakami ,spróbuj przeczytać prostą polską ksiazke .Ja tak się uczyłam języka niemieckiego (bez zadnych kursow jezykowych ,przepraszam kłamczucha ze mnie , miałam pół roku niemiecki w liceum ,ale po półroczu zmieniłam to liceum na liceum sportowe, w ktorym mialam juz język angielski, którego uczyłam się wcześniej w szkole podstawowej) Nauczyłam się niemieckiego na tyle dobrze, ze skonczylam w Austrii dodatkowe studia pedagogiczne Montessori i napisałam po niemiecku sama bez pomocy moja prace dyplomowa .Po prostu to bardzo wazne zeby równocześnie z nauka jezyka na kursie dobrze OSŁUCHAĆ się tej mowy + poszerzać słownictwo i poznawać i uczyć się typowych dla tego języka zwrotów ....i coraz więcej rozumieć .Ja przez kilka miesięcy to nawet nie włączałam polskiej telewizji czy radia tylko niemieckie stacje tv,filmy w języku niemieckim (masakra) i piosenki po niemiecku (jeszcze większa masakra 😉). Pozdrawiam i życzę powodzenia w nauce polskiego
I don't belive that no one brought this clip till now ;) It is scene from the old Polish commedy "How did I start the Second World War" (Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową). Wait till the end ;) And the trilogy itself is worth seeing. It is about a soldier who in the morning of September 1st of 1939 have heard something in bushes and shot his rifle. After that Germans attacked and he thinks through entire war that he started it ;) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AfKZclMWS1U.html (edit: somebody did ;))
@@SarahAchleithner (I do, I heard someone say after first 5 the others are a piece of cake and I stand by it 😂) But yes, "jak się masz" is a direct translation of "how are you" and it often feels a bit weird or outdated for natives - though sometimes you can hear people use it. More natural among friends would be "Co słychać" or "Co u ciebie" (or even "Co tam" - very informal) all meaning roughly "How are things" :) I don't think we have a direct equivalent for formal events, we seem to stick to the "nice to meet You" and "nice to see You" bits 😅
Im a polish speaker and I living abroad. Great kudos for learning this complicated language. Watching Your struggle giving me a pervert joy, since I was learning foreign language as well and I feel the pain. It also come to me how difficult and impossible is polish for english speakers. I never realized how complicated is polish grammar until i tryed to analize how much You must go thru.... Take verb conjugation... Only Hungarian and Finnish are more complicated in that matter.
Oh and one more thing: Almost all poles know that our conjugation is pretty hard to master, so we are basically glad to see foreigner trying to learn our language and we definitely would understand such person and maybe smile a little, because we saw the strugle and even though that wasn't 100% correct, he bring us joy, anyway what i was trying to say is that such person and their behaviour is very appreciated ^^ so do not worry keep going and you are doing great :)
While the word is spelled "pięćdziesiąt", most of us Poles will pronounce it more like "piędziesiąt" as it is difficult even for us to pronounce ć and dzi one after another. :-)
OMG, I just watched your older video from 3 years ago where you were struggling a lot with Polish words, and now you pronounce everything in much, much more correct way, good job! :) I`ll give you a tip when it comes to numbers like 50 - for some reason every Polish native forces you to actually pronounce this "ć" in pięćdziesiąt, even though no native pronounces it... it`s a bit of hypocrisy IMO; don`t pronounce it :) if you want to sound natural say pieńdziesiat (e instead of ę, ń instead of ć), sześdziesiąt (no ć), dziewieńdziesiąt (e instead of ę, ń instead of ć) 👌
I know I commented on this video before but it just showed up again on my main page so I want to add something more. You have an obvious American accent but in general you're doing very well with Polish. Keep it up! Guys - USA is almost ours... now let's take Brazil - should we? FUCK I shouldn't write it publicly here. God damn it xD
you are making a visible (or hearable xd) progress with your Polish pronunciation, congrats Sarah About tongue twisters - other than kids or foreigners you won't really hear adults do tongue twisters out and about. Maybe some performers, voice-based jobs like actors and pro readers, maybe coaches and teachers are adults that do these... or drunks for fun with foreign friends :) The last one, for clarification, is not that easily translated, because technically "wyrewolwerowany" is a neologism deriving from "rewolwerowiec" which is localized a gunslinger term deriving from "rewolwer", i.e. revolver gun, a weapon used by a gunslinger. So if I were to explain the tongue twister it'd be: an outgunned gunslinger outgunned an outgunned gunslinger. Not that hard but also not really smooth in English either. Keep it up and best of luck with more Polish lessons! (boy am I glad I don't have to do those anymore, I'm a native and I almost failed the subject like 3 consecutive semesters in middle school...)
@@SarahAchleithner it sure is paying off, so don't slow down now. For contextual comparison of my English (which I hope can pass off as near-native level by now, though last I got tested was years ago) : I took English in some shape or form since I was like 6yo back in kindergarten (~25 years ago), but I wasn't really good with any language, Polish included. Except pronunciation, mimicry of others never was an issue. Everything else was, mostly because the way they were (and probably still are) teaching languages in school never suited me, so after 12 long and harrowing years I was barely on an intermediate level of English, at best somewhere between B1 and B2 when I applied myself harder thanks to my highschool teacher. It wasn't until I actually started needing to use it, both verbally and in text due to college (chose to study all classes in default English) and my own developping hobbies, after 3-4 years of using it consistently for many activities (mostly online though) that I got to where I am now and have been for nearly a decade. With that in mind, I hope you find comfort in knowing that if Polish wasn't my native language, I probably wouldn't have touched it with a 10ft pole 😅 (hehe) So keep talking to people, listen to people speaking Polish (live or on TV), read things in Polish (which isn't hard to do in Poland, any signs, ads, news works, even something as trivial as receipts xd) and don't ever get discouraged if you don't quite get something right off the bat. Just asking for clarification can often solve it, and hearing actual people use the words in actual conversations is infinitely better than any class, app or textbook XD So if I can do that and never even set foot in English-speaking country (yet), then you can do even better in the country that speaks the foreign language even if it is harder than many people think, just by virtue of being present on the streets with the people and by being pretty smart (you both if nothing else look smarter than me at least, that's as good a starting point as any...) Rooting for you both to get good enough that if someone randomly talks to you on the street they won't even suspect you're from the States.
Ja sie cieszę,że wiem jak mówić "vegetables" co dla Polaka proste nie jest. W naszym języku nie ma klopotu żeby odrożnić czy mówisz "ty" czy "wy" a jak czytam "you" to muszę się zastanowić o którą z tych wersji chodzi w zależności od kontekstu. Masz problem z wymową "ż" reszta wychodzi bardzo dobrze. To znaczy "ksią(s)ka brzmi jakby ktoś seplenił czyli może być. :D
You did well, actually that was really good. I recommend practicing syllables or consonant groups. For example... at first practice saying szcz trying to get the clear, szort ending. Sh ch, sh ch, sh ch... And then gradually shorten the space between them Sh ch, sh ch, sh ch Sh ch, sh ch, shch shch shch... And when gets little easier add a letter to it: szcza, szcze, szczi, szczo etc. And then add another letter, and another. If the word has another difficult part or syllables practice them separately. This way helped me learn English. In the past squirrel gave me a hard time but someone braked it into syllables and it was so much easier!
Hello Sarah! I have been watching your films from few days. It is nice to hear that you like Poland and enjoy your stay. I really like films when you compare, Poland to USA, talk about differences, benefits and profits. Your polish is not bad, but you need some more practise :-) Let me show you some of tongue twisters. You can try to say "i cóż, że ze Szwecji" it means "so what, it is from Sweden". Next one is "stół z powyłamywanymi nogami" -it means "the table with broken legs", or "w Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie" so it means " in Szczebrzeszyn beetle sounds in reed". These are some of the difficoult phrases. I wish you all the best and see you in the next videos. :)
heheh i love the american pronunciation mixed in with polish words :) i'd love to see you speak more polish :) just basic sentences, doesnt need to be tounge twisters.
I’m envious of you living in Poland and learning the language. I’ve been to Kraków twice and loved it. I have trouble with certain combinations, too. Here are a couple of tips I learned. For the “szcz” sound, think of saying “fresh cheese” in English. The “sh” from “fresh” is the sz sound and the “ch” from “cheese” is the cz sound. Say “fresh cheese” really fast and you get the “szcz” sound. Another one is “dzi”. It looks confusing and it’s a lot of letters but it is basically just the “j” sound in English, like in journal or justice.
Sarah in netflix they are cool polish tv shows if my sister gets on the pilot then she watches netflix np ,,Jak Zostać Gwiazdą'' or ,,Planeta Singli'' There are like 4 versions of Planety singli oh and a challange try saying this coś bez takiego z takim czymś bez takiego czegoś or stół z połowanymi nogami
Sarah, you are doing well. Even Polish people struggle with the tounge twisters. To help with pronunciation, I would advise you to first practice the sounds of every letter in the Polish alphabet and once you master that, begin to put them together into very simple short and gradually longer words. It will make it a lot easier and don't try to understand the grammar. No one should be learning grammar when just starting learning new language. Just build your vocabulary and learn to speak sentences and expressions by repeating them after native Polish speakers without trying to understand grammar.
Hey Sarah, You've made amazing progress since the last time I saw your video. I can see that you are struggling with 'ż.' It looks like it has 'z' as a base, but the sounds are nothing like that. In general, most people pronounce 'ż' and 'rz' the same, and the closest sound that comes to my mind is the first sound of 'genre', pronounced a bit harder :) btw. I'm surprised that you struggle with pronunciation. I thought that grammar could be challenging but not the spoken version of our language :)
I speak both languages and I see too many Americans mispronounce SH and CH where both sounds are the same in American language. SHCHESLEEVEGO shouldn't be that hard. In this instance SH is same as milk Shake and CHE is same as fruit Cherry. E is exactly like in cherry. When speaking slowly the E with tail has little southern draw (Tennessee region) but when spoken fast, everyday, the E with tail is just like CHERRY, LERRY, BERRY. You completely skipped CH part is Szczesliwego. Rest you did great except Z-RZ part which is soft G as in Garage.
Dzień dobry. Ogólnie, wszystko ok. Pozdrowionka. Fingers crossed for your journey to learn polish language. Good job, keep that all the way. ps. Ż, ż. Rz, rz - should sound harder, using lower tone in saying that.
In English litera ( Y) jest wymawiana jak (I) ,ale jak w wyrazie mamy litere (I) to wymawiamy ją jak(Y). w tym polskim wyrazie wymówiłaś tą litere jak (I)czyli angielskie (E) . In English, the letter (Y) is pronounced as (I), but if there is a letter (I) in a word, you pronounce it as (Y). In this Polish word, you pronounced this letter like (I) which is English (E). try to write this word in Translator and press speaker. and listen to it a few times and then try to repeat it a few times
The difference between Ź Ś Ć DŹ and Ż SZ CZ DŻ : the first group is palatalized (you keep the back part of your tongue up touching your palate, because you have to pronounce them with j (y like in yes) at the same time). In second group you keep the back part of your tongue down, because there must not be j in them.
Dla nas Polaków z kolei są słowa angielskie, które dla native speakerów to bułka z masłem, a dla nas to łamańce językowe, np. dla mnie takie słowo to literally.
I think "Jak się masz?" is a sentence only foreigners use. We usually say "Co tam?" or "Jak leci?" And I have question about "Y". Why is it not counted as vowel in english?
In English, "y" represents a consonant when it starts off a word or syllable. "Y" is also only considered to be a vowel if there are no other vowels in a word (a,e,i,o,u).
Some tips for you: The first piece of advice is not to take everything too seriously - having fun while struggling with something as challenging as learning another language will make things easier! In a comment on another of your videos, I quoted a passage from Henry Miller's novel Sexus, in which Miller characterizes the Polish language in a funny but apt way. My first tip for you is this: When you're learning Polish, think about arming your mouth with snakes and hornets. Such a harmless fantasy might help you. The second tip is more serious: identify where exactly you are having difficulty pronouncing words in Polish so that you know what areas need improvement or practice. For example if you find yourself struggling with "szcz" at the beginning of words such as 'szczęśliwego', you should remember how easily you would say "fish", "church", "fish church" or even 🎵lgato🎵 "FishChurch". I am also absolutely convinced that after truncating "Fi" you could say "ShChurch". Therefore in the word '"szczęśliwego"' the source of the difficulty is the nasal "e" (e-caudata). which follows the "szcz". So try ignoring it first and pronounce a regular "e" after "szcz". It should be easier and you will be perfectly understood.
Your vowels are pretty good already (except Y, it is never ever EEm but sometimes you get that Y correct) . And because of our consonants nobody pays attention to the vowels. But vowels in Polish are really tricky. However, you have an ear for them.
One thing you have to work on is pronunciation of letter ż . You saying it more like S ,when you saying książka sounds more like ksiąska . ż sounds different then s . Good effort and I'm impressed with your persistence in learning Polish. It's very hard.
You are doing great! Honestly, when foreigners who learn Polish talk about Polish grammar and such I, a native speaker, get tired just from listening and imagining I had to learn it. Sounds horrid. So I apploud any foreigners who chose to study it.
@@SarahAchleithner Honestly. I study Japanese which many people consider a very hard language but the grammar is pretty easy actually. The only problem is memorizing kanji which I think isn't really hard, more like it requires dedication and regularity. You just have to keep writing and writing them. Thankfully I find it pretty relaxing actually.
Kiedy ja uczyłem się języka obcego (niemieckiego), dano mi jedną dobrą radę. Wziąłem kilka lekcji wymowy głosek u niemieckiego logopedy. Po tym logopedzie wszystko poszło szybko i sprawnie, jak z płatka. pozdrawiam
Nie będę ułatwiał, dlatego po polsku. Zawsze możesz znajomym, nie Polakom, mówić, że uczysz się języka, w którym są słowa, które brzmią jak liście szeleszczące na wietrze ;)EDIT Zapomniałem zapytać o najbardziej polskie z polskich słów czyli ŻÓŁĆ. Czy już się zapoznałaś?
Pani Saro (Sarah) znam trochę angielski i widzę różnice. Gramatyka angielska na pewno jest łatwiejsza, choć polska wbrew pierwszemu wrażeniu jest konsekwentnie logiczna, tylko oparta na innych założeniach. Np. odróżnia się rodzaj męski, żeński i nijaki (on, ona, ono, ten ta, to; np. ten stół, ale ta lampa). Wspomniała Pani o polskim ę i ą, faktycznie to dość specyficzne głoski dla języka polskiego, ale jakimś przypadkiem idealnie odpowiadają takim samym francuskim głoskom. Czyli jeśli ktoś zna lub słyszał francuski, to ma problem rozwiązany. "ą" brzmi jak np. francuskie "mON", bON jour", a "ę" jak francuskie 1 UN, UNe) lub 5 - cINq. Inne wyglądające dla osób anglojęzycznych połączenia liter przerażająco, mają bardzo bliskie odpowiedniki w języku angielskim, np. PL - "SZ' = EN 'SH" (jak shame, shave etc.), PL - 'CZ' = EN - 'CH" (jak chamber, charm itd.), PL - 'dż' = EN 'j" jak jam, journey, Jack., PL - 'Ż, ż' - brzmi znowu identycznie jak francuskie 'j' np. bon Jour lub "Je t'aime" :). Myślę, że te analogie powinny bardzo ułatwić czytanie, wymowę tych polskich znaków diakrytycznych (ś, ć) i kilku połączń 2 liter. Nb. wymowa angielska jest trudna dla Europejczyków (nie Anglików). W języku polskim niemal zawsze wymawia się wszystko tak jak się pisze, a o ile wiem po angielsku nie. np. nazwisko "Gibson" może być wymawiane jako "Dżibson" lub "Gibson", a np. McLoughlin albo jako "Maklaflin" albo jako "Makloklin", co wymaga ponoć często przeliterowania nazwisk zarówno w USA jak i UK. Pozdrawiam Panią! :)
P.S. innym problemem może być odmiana przez przypadki, ale w języku angielskim też to jest tylko zredukowane do dopełniacza (saxon genetive), np it's Bob's car (to jest auto BobA). W języku polskim pozostało tych przypadków o kilka więcej. Ale to dowodzi wspólnych korzenie zarówno języka angielskiego, francuskiego i polskiego.
Brawo ! Zrobiłaś duże postępy w polskiej wymowie . "Tongue twisters" zostaw dla zawodowców od wymowy - aktorów lub speakerów w radio - zwykli Polacy mają problem by wymówić szybko tego "wyrewolwerowanego ..." lub Konstatynopolitańczykowianeczkę (btw. to zdrobniale mieszkanka Konstatynopola, niezdrobniale możnaby powiedzieć Konstantynopolanka - w praktyce niespotykane słowo, bo Konstantynopol to historyczna nazwa Stambułu/Instanbul). Masz problem ze społgłoską "ż"/"Ż" bo wymawiasz ją jak zwykłe "z" - ten dzwięk "ż" możesz znać z francuskich słów "image", "visage", "beige" - w wymowie polskie "ż" = francuskie "ge". Może w wymowie pomoże Ci spojrzenie na pary spółgłosek dźwięcznych (z, ż, ź) - ich bezdźwięcznych (s, sz, ś) odpowiedników: s -> z sz -> rz lub ż ś -> ź Różnica w wymowie spółglosek w powyższych parach, to drganie, które w trakcie wymowy, poczujesz kładąc rękę na szyi - przy "z" drganie jest, a przy "s" go nie ma, a układ warg, zębów i języka jest taki sam. Gamę do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do można zanucić/wymruczeć spółgłoskami dźwięcznymi (lub samogłoskami) ale spółgłoskami bezdźwięcznymi tego nie da się zrobić.
polskie i francuskie (które swoją drogą występuje też w języku angielskim, na przykład w słowie "vision") to w międzynarodowym alfabecie fonetycznym /ʐ/ i /ʒ/, czyli dwie różne od siebie spółgłoski. /ʒ/ to mniej więcej coś pomiędzy /ʐ/ a /ʑ/ ( i w polskiej ortografii), a polskie /ʐ/ jest wymawiane z językiem bardziej przesuniętym do tyłu
Sarah, don't worry about the difficulty of understanding the Polish language because Poles themselves have problems with correct pronunciation, not to mention spelling or decoding nouns. Everything will come with time and with getting used to the language. And are we talking fast? probably not, you just find it difficult to distinguish individual words.
The Polish language is really difficult, but if you try to say something in Polish, even incorrectly, every Pole will understand you, don't worry about the rules, simply try
You need to stop reading and start listening and repeating - without reading! And, if you are reading, first learn the Polish sounds. Don't read Polish words with English sounds! There are no difficult languages! The difficulty is in your mind and in your habits. Did you ever think that learnig American English was difficult when you were learning to speak your mother tongue? Did any Polish kid ever think that Polish was difficult when they were learning to speak Polish? No! Why? Because they had no other frame of reference! They just took it as they heard it and repeated.
if you want tongue twist keep repeating faster and faster "cóż że ze Szwecji". Like 90% of native Poles will fail after couple of reps - impossible almost to keep pronouncing clean if talking speed rises. Less difficult "szedł Sasza suchą szosą".
When you're spelling numbers don't say 'piędziesiąt' or 'sześdziesiąt', nobody speak like that. Just say 'piędziesiąt' and 'sześdziesiąt'. It's easier and correct :)
Cześć Sarah, Konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka jest najdłuższym polskim słowem i oznacza młodą mieszkankę Konstantynopola. Jeśli będziesz miała ochotę, to możesz spróbować powiedzieć to: Hi Sarah, Konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka is the longest Polish word and means a young female resident of Constantinople. If you feel like it, you can try saying it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AfKZclMWS1U.html
No suprise that the English speakers have to go though the opposite of what Poles go through when learning English - that Polish "w" is pronounced like English "v", while the "ł" is a separate character for the sound of English "w" (e.g. English "vow" would be pronounced almost exactly like Polish "wał"), and you need to twist your ch's (e.g. chase) into either a harder "cz" or a softer "ć" instead of a familiar sound somewhere in between (where exactly it depends on the dialect of English) and so on. But if we can do it then certainly can you, you have the advatange of a sadistic husband! 😂😂😂
One advice: Do not ask "How are you" or "How you doing" in polish it is just weird ^^ better is to use "What's up" or "What's new" so "Co tam" or "Co nowego" and you could add "u Ciebie" or "u Was" that's more natural :)
