My plan is to produce one short video for every letter and every sound of the Polish Language.

At the end there will be approximately 45 videos, every one of them containing 17 words.

So theoretically somebody, who would spend 45 minutes watching all of them, would have at least a swift contact with 765 Polish words (mainly substantives)

There is a myth that the Polish Language is one of the most difficult to learn. I don't believe it anymore after meeting and speaking to a lot of students who after learning Polish for six months or so - mastered this language to a remarkable degree.

My theory is that the Polish Language appears very difficult at the beginning but after somebody manages to reach a certain point of knowledge - this language becomes unexpectedly easy to speak - because obviously it is a very intuitive and "judge by the ear" language.

After reaching a certain point you just know how to say it (how to decline and so) because it seems to sound either good or not.

So this is why I think, that anybody who would like to learn Polish should invest quite an ample time to "get used" to it.

Those 45 minutes of the Polish alphabet are supposed to be the first introduction to this foreign language. It should help to understand how Polish should be pronounced as well as to learn some first Polish words.

It should give you the general idea of how the Polish language sounds like.

In the next level we will deal with most common verbs. We will look at how they sound and function.

I dedicate this course to Carina and Manuel who are trying to learn Polish. I hope I can help you. You can imagine how happy I would be to speak Polish with you.

  • Is Polish harder or easier for a Russian to speak? Is Russian harder or easier for a Pole to speak? These questions have puzzled me for the past 35 years!!!

  • @hazel10987

    Polish and Russian are very similar (the same language family). I guess you can't really say that one of those languages would be more or less difficult. Obviously the way Russian write their language makes it much more difficult to learn. But both languages are easy to speak.

  • Being of Polish ancestry, I find it insulting that my great-grandparents never taught any members of my family to speak when they moved to America, at the fear of being "abnormal". :'( Stupid... anyhoo, on a more comedic note, leave it to the Pollacks to have an educational video featuring the Antichrist, anarchy (which, actually, I believe should be more prevalent in the educational system, overall... heh heh), and, of course, alcohol o_X. I will definitely be educating myself sometime soon...

  • @MarqueeMoon95

    But we (because I'm also Pole) have some problems to speak correctly English accent... mainly due to our Polish accent (that we have in a blood), I think so. But it's a matter of much hours of traning.

    Thank you for exchange of comments.

  • @addmin000 I definitely intend to go there at some point. I have spoken to Polish people but not often of course, I personally like the accent when they speak English as well. I tend to like Eastern-European accents in general and I think the Polish accent is particularly nice whether speaking Polish or English.
