Reaction To How to Read Polish or Something 

This is certainly the most entertaining Polish language video that I've ever seen. I love the casual roasting of the English language and the part about rrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

4:23 "Trully, English makes no sense and should be abolished!" 😆

Zajebiste. Roast na języku angielskim i całkiem niezłe wytłumaczenie większości dźwięków w języku polskim.

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz. Chrząszczyżewoszyce, powiat Łękołody. Say this and you are basically Polish. We could identify anyone who pretends to be Polish just by making them say this. Even if they do manage to say this, it is nigh impossible for a foreigner to sound Polish when pronouncing this line.

I'm a Polish -English linguist, and I absolutely loved it. gonna show it to all my English friends

I'm from Poland and i can't stop loughing 😂

I’m from Poland and I love seeing people struggle with learning polish Edit: omg 203 is the most I ever got Ty everyone who liked

Honestly, if I hadn't been born in Poland I would never have even started learning Polish.

"Wszyscy szczodrze głaszczą wstrzemięźliwe pszczoły"- it does make sense, somewhat. It could be translated to: "Everyone generously strokes the temperate (literal translation of "wstrzemięźliwe": "abstemious", it has a few meanings) bees".

It's a good video, accurate and funny. For sure it's funnier than my humble creations, although mine is a little bit more structured. If you're curious, there's stuff about how to speak Polish, how to say Polish tongue twisters, Polish slang... It's not like I'm trying to get you and others to watch my stuff, no... not at all 😂 Cough, cough.... It's called "Polish in a pill"

I must say the Polish guy is very articulate and spot on accurate in the English explanations he makes. And he's hilarious 😂😂

It's a really great video explaining in a simple way how to pronounce Polish letters :) I would only say that while "ą" is written like "a" with a tail, it sounds more like "o" but it's just a detail :)

I saw someone react to this video just yesterday and I like it. It sums up everything I would say. And yeah writing and reading in polish is very simple... If we forget about using the right letter to spell "rzeka/river" for example that is. It's not like English where you have to learn how to spell and pronounce every frickin word cause it makes no sense and like this dude said are whatever tf they want. While in polish learning the alfabet is enough, plus as a bonus there are actual spelling rules that apply to almost every word(there are just few exceptions)

I'm Polish and I loved this funny video and your reactions. By the way, I'd like to tell you that this sentence is absolutely correct, although the depicted situation is less than possible. 😉It means: "Everyone generously pets the temperate bees".

How to learn polish in two easy steps: 1 pay attention. 2 _cry._

This was a GREAT video that you found! He SHOULD be a language teacher as he has (obviously, since not trained), a NATURAL TALENT for doing so! I am glad that you found this. It was super funny & super informative. Polish is one of (if not THE) hardest languages to learn, because of the sound combinations you have to just get your ear & then tongue used to in time - (I am not in a position to judge if it makes sense or not.) This video with his EXCELLENT breakdown, would make that time to learn the language so much smaller. I am glad that you found this channel.

2:48 i just spilled my water when he said that

That's my favourite video about Polish language.

Read this: Konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka kupiła za pięćdziesięciogroszówkę stół z powyłamywanymi nogami, a jej Matka Konstantynopolitańczykowianka zdenerwowała się z tego powodu. Good Luck!

[c] is basically a shorthand for [ts]. There may be some minor difference that nobody can hear. [ą] (a with tail) is actually a variation of [o] sound not [a] - for historical reasons that we wont explain here. If you want to frighten foreigner, ask them to write "Żółć" (bile). Yes, its a four-letter word consisting of four special polish characters. I don't recall any longer polish words that render as series of squares if you don't have international font installed (if you see four squares before, check your font settings).

If you're interested in the feedback about your pronunciation, here I go: - do not put Polish y between w and sz in wszyscy - its a typical error of English speaking people, they can't say many consonants one after another and they add Polish y, so instead of wszyscy they say wyszyscy. It's the same with Zbyszek for example, English speakers insert y and it becomes Zybyszek or Zabyszek. Try recording yourself and you will see what I'm talking about. - when pronouncing the whole word, try starting by reading each consonant and vowel in order, one at a time and only then try to speed it up until you get the whole word. We pronounce every consonant and vowel, there are no silent consonants in Polish - instead of wszyscy you say either szyscy (you skip the w), instead of szczodrze you said szodrze (you skipped cz) and that's not good - the hardness of sz and cz isn't there in your speech, you need to listen carefully how hard they are and say them equally hard. In most cases it doesn't matter and people will understand you, but if you want to pronounce it correctly, those are hard ass consonants.

I love the humor in this video 😂 shows exactly how much humor polish people have, but it's oftentimes not quite easy to translate

You're amazing to learn a language with world's second most difficult grammar. You do it great!

Great video. In a very concentrated form (sometimes even too much), but it contains everything that can be said to make an English-speaking person read, or rather "pronounce" Polish well. It reminded me of a story. Once, a friend from Canada, an English teacher, told me (and showed me) that reading in Polish was easy for him, even if he didn't understand anything. When I expressed surprise, she said more or less the same thing that was said in this video: - each letter (group) always sounds the same - you read what is written. There are no "situations" like "Pacific Ocean" - 3 x "c" and 3 different pronunciations. - you add sounds one by one and you get a word. By the way. Honestly, I must mention that he was also an amateur guitarist and singer. It seems to me that the so-called "musical hearing" makes it easier to learn the pronunciation of even "strange" sounds.

Polish is a very... "phonetic" language in a sense that each letter represents a specific sound and there are rarely any exceptions, UNLESS the word comes directly from another language with very little alteration. Hilarious, this makes Polish very easy to read - because from the moment you can pronounce every letter, you can cobble together actual words from same exact sounds. There is no "shire, rooster, Worcester, Worcestershire" or "heart, beard, heard" bollocks going on here - what you see is what you read. You don't omit half the damn word in pronunciation, and pronunciation does not change depending on word. It is actually nicely consistent. Now... the grammar and writing on the other hand... that is a bloody mess. It is consistent and fairly intuitive for those who speak it, but I can get very confusing for non-native speakers.

Try niedźwiedź, dżdżownica, chrząszcz, grząski, gąszcz, brzeszczot, brzęczenie... 😅 briliant video

I like how Scots, just like Poles, embrace the real burring "r" instead of the gay English "r", choking French or German "r" and talking-with-your-mouthed-stuffed-with-pasta American "r". I've just made you read every "r" differently in your head, haven't I?

It's funny to see like other people try their best to learn my Launguage and what this specyfic word even mean. But it's nice to see the people even try to learn it. Good Video and have a nice day or night.

In case of ch/h, rz/ż and u/ó , these are archaic forms wich have been used to write different sounds. Currently there are still regionalisms where theya re pronouced differently, but aside from that only grammar differs them ; they morph from different sounds, ie r-rz, g-ż etc (i don't remeber how thought)

Hahaha that's awesome! I love that. Thank you for sharing 👌

Very funny and good explanation to read. Don't worry if some of the letters sound familiar, it's something you can work on. I can tell you this because recognizing similar letters in two very similar words is part of a dyslexia test, which I had several times in my life. Like wszyscy and fszyscy or chelp and chleb.

This guy is a champion of the world.

Thank You again Mordko

There is known polish joke about English language : "You write Oxford and read it Cambrige "" It make sense - another case speling diferently letter - here letter "c", and what is more in one name(!!) : "PAcIFIc OcEAN"

I'm from Poland and I know it's difficult, but keep practicing and you'll learn to speak just like my German friend, just don't give up :)

Its easy .😂 Try to say this " W Szczebrzeszczynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie. "Good luck 😂😂😂

2:00 w+ vowel = sounds like hard W but w+ consonant = sounds like F (rarely W)

I am Polish and really the best teacher. And yes English it's s. . . .A it's A no E . It's nothing personal. This teacher must create more lesson. Thank You. take care

Not exactly scientific but very entertaining one :-)

for the record, in 'wstrzemięźliwe' the rz can be pronounced silently as s and the initial 'w' since it is before a silent sound as an 'f'.

As a Pole, that's how I'd attempt explaining the sounds to an English speaker myself. Good video.

All Polish! Who know "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" joke?

A good explanation of the polish letters - I can confirm as Polish person. Makes me wonder how did I remember all the English words how they are spoken XD

Ngl i love learning languages and i think i love Polish the most, it just has the most sense lol

#Suggestions_for_the_next_film; *A Polish documentary about the Greater Poland Uprising with English subtitles, it lasts almost an hour but everything is thoroughly explained and since you have already made such films, I hope this one will also be commented on;* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z6-poUU6Rac.htmlsi=CPcwKfHsP-K3dCzy

Btw here's a little ad "winogrona czerwone 40% taniej 8.99 za kilogram i banany bio 4.95 za kilogram"

There are a few cases of "zi" when "i" ain't soften "z." It is a colloquial name of Polish currency "złoty" - "ziko," name of a southern-african country "Zimbabwe," but it is caused by a fact the original name isn't a familiar Polish word, "zidentyfikować," (to identify) where it is even a little stop between "z" and "i", the same ziścić (to make - a dream - true). Thus, "zi" not it all makes a sound "ź."

It is also worthy to tell that we almost every time write "rz" before these leatters : p, k, d, b , t g and j . pRZeżyć = survive, bRZuch = belly, dRZewo = tree, kRZesło = chair, tRZustka = pancreas, gRZech = sin, dojRZały = mature. But in some cases we write sz like: pSZenica = wheat, pSZczoła = bee, kSZtałt = shape. There are other cases , but i donnn't want to write them all.

I think the we rarely use words as szczodrze or wstrzemięźliwie. However these sounds sz, cz , rz and so on are basically the most confusing and difficult to learn. Imo. And watching this video as a polish person made me laugh a lot ;D and a the same time I’ve learned some things that I have never pay attention to. Thanks a lot

As a Polish person I approve of this video

zi - zignorować (to ignore (once)). 'z' is then a prefix for verb, and makes the continouos verb - a perfective verb.

I’m Polish. What’s your superpower?

Yes, Polish love their "Z" to put in every word :D

5:04 actually marznąć is only word in polish where rz is read r z if we dont count English words like Tarzan

If you like this way of teaching you should definitely watch something from ‘Dopaminowy wąż’ - Dopamine snake ;) I guess there is some movie in English on his channel.

As a Pole I must say... I'm sharing this video to all of my friends who don't speak Polish

The Polish language is so beautiful ❤🇵🇱❤

Baj far yt mast bi de best polisz leson ołt dere. By far it must be the best polish lesson out there. 😁😎

He teach it really good. It was really nice to leasing to him.

I think only Polish people comment this clip. ,,remember,, C is C no K. .Really I love this from today when I writing too my English friends I write, like this. Dziękuję I przepraszam. Mój angielski jest słabiutki. Musiałem coś napisać bo naprawdę petarda.. Pozdrawiam

Polska górą! Niech wszyscy wiedzą.

3:16 Reminds me my maths teacher in 4th grade...

For me as a Pole it was super weird that such a word as 'queue' exists. When i first saw it i read it like it was 'qu-e-u-e' because in my language its impossible to pronounce more than 2 vowels at once.

I don't know if that guy is Polish person or not, but he pronounces the words very well, so I assume it's actually Polish guy. And as a Polish person myself, as much as he is saying he is not taught to teach, he actually does it pretty well in humorous way. What is the best part is that he actually understands the stuff, instead of just saying it. Also I want to point out that it's not exactly true that one letter is one sound. But simplifying it, yeah. But linguistically, it's a little more complicated. Like he described with "w" sounding like "f" in "wszyscy". That's just softening it, but there are cases where you actually pronounce the letter differently and "ą" is best example of this and we even learn this in the elementary school, like it's "on", "om", "oł" etc, depending on the word. But let's finish it here.

Witam pana dopiero co napotkałem ten film ale podoba mi się trzymaj się ziomuś

Now draw him speaking fluent Polish.

Welcom in Poland ♥️🇵🇱

10:08 - man, you said it extremally well, like, better than i could (as native... I cant say 'r')

Zażółć gęślą jaźń 😂

As a ukraian i can tell this video is right *i undestand polish*

3:21 as a Pole I can tell that this isn't hard if you're in Poland since you were born, for us English is dark magic though xD

I am polish, (living in germany) and I have no clue what szczodrze and wstrzemiezliwe means. For foregners most important words are not so complicated: dzięnkuje ~ thank you. dzien dobry ~ good day. And pszepraszam ~ excuse me.

very good teacher

Polish entails pronouncing a lot of things soft, hard, or both. Wszyscy is best pronounced "ff-sh-yh-ss-sh-c-yh", for example.

Best content ever

The thumbnail means taller

Chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie w Szczebrzeszynie, a Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie Polish so easy

If you know KURWA then you know polish :)

l'd like to argue with statement, that Ą and Ę sound the same all the time or people don't care how they speak. It's not true. Because these sounds sound different, depend on where they stay in a word. This is Polish phonetics 😉 Also for exp. ś, ź, ć, dź and si, zi, ci, dzi are not the same, but I'll finish here, because noone needs to make it more complicated than it is now, after the video, which was funny and definitly useful 😊

9:08 actually I never heard a difference myself. But now when I speak these words in slow montion I can hear different tone of that H

i am just wondering why i am watching that when i am polish :)

I really like this video and I agree with everything said over there. Except maybe for Poles eating vowels :P we don't eat them like Arabs do, but we just pronounce them differently, sometimes hiding them well :)

Marznąć i TARZAN 😂

8:09 this word is very uncommon

I hear "Instant Feet Defeat" Image in my head: KOed by smelly feet

Unfortunately ę and ą are not that easy because there are actually rules when to read them as they are and when not :D in the word from the video: wstrzemięźliwe, you should not read ę as ę but as en but softly :p However, for whatever reason those rules are only taught in acting schools and not in normal school so most people don't know that.

in marznac reading both ways is acceptable

I like Irish - Irish are ok !

3:32 im from poland and im thinking why is for him so hard and why he can't say Wszyscy normal

ok so world "wstrzemiężliwe" is rarely used cuz like i heard it once from my polish teacher

Prościej się nie da 😁 👍

Polish is actually quite easy

Wojciehowicz: it's spelled just like it sounds!

Ah. I love ppl struggling with our language 😌

Man, I live in Poland. It’s a pretty hard language and I understand why people struggle with it example: Dwa dwie dwoje and I know kurwa

Ludzie potrafiący wypowiedzieć wyraz ✨️konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka✨️ 👇

Untrue alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨 "i" does not always sound the same It can sound more similar to english "y" as in yak when before another vowel, it softens the consonant before it in that case
