📢 On 4th March 2024, we're starting the ✨14-Day Vocabulary Challenge ✨ for our Discord Community 👉 www.easypolish.org/vocabulary-challenge (autopromocja)

[@MrGunfunfun]

In case it's helpful, I'm from the UK and I've been learning Polish for around 2.5 years now. I can understand everything in these videos, watch movies, read books and speak about any topic (although I make lots of grammatical errors!). I'm terrible at writing though. I studied on average 4 hours a day, but that's only: Reading, Watching, Listening to Podcasts, Talking to Polish family members, and making flashcards (3-10 new words a day). Another 2-3 years and I feel like I'd be at a C2 level, but that's just a guess!

[@EasyPolish]

Sounds impressive! Congrats 💪 But of course we recommend practice writing as well 😉 Next time, just try to write any comments you leave on our channel in Polish (despite all the grammatical mistakes) - that's already a tiny bit of weekly practice if you start doing it regularly 🙂

[@liscatcat8756]

Lucky you to have polish family members

[@PacekBrudnyPlacek]

Mate, to be honest, even Poles make a lot of grammatical errors, sooo... don't worry about it! :D Good luck in continuing this long journey! :D

[@jetflashdemon6907]

I have Polish family members somewhere but I still haven’t been able to establish communications so someday I’ll try and talk to them in there native language when I finally meet them

[@neezduts69420]

It feels good when you learn. Nothing feels better than going to a shop and being able to know what everything is and try new things!

[@TheAndrewSchneider]

I definitely found the process of declension and conjugation logical because I have studied Latin and Ancient Greek. So the complicated grammar is something I enjoy!

[@wojciechgaan9666]

I also studied Latin and I can say that polish is much harder

Anastaia, jestem z Rosji tak samo. Unfortunately I can't write something else on Polish.)I'm trying to study by myself my adorable Polish since 2020. For those who decide I am unworthy for it. I'm from Russia and I've never voted putin. I'm against this awful war, I'm in shame and l mourn. I also understand why people in Poland hate Russians, yet not everyone Russian wants war, and not everyone Russian condones everything Sovet Union made with Poles and Poland. I like Poland and I hope someday I'll speak fluently Polish!

[@ThePinkCat.]

@@user-ev1yi6jo9l the thing we hate is that Russia took our lands destorying our country for 123 years and never gave the lands back, and never said "sorry for that, Poland". It's one of the two countries that started the WW2 and never got punished for that, so the horrible imperial mentality survived. Of course, now on these lands there are Belarus, Ukraine and that's fine. But as you see - it's not fine for Russia. All we want is to feel safe but Russia does not want to accept this.

This was so helpful. And the English subtitles and Polish captions are indispensable. Thank you VERY much!

[@alvarobarcala]

I am from Spain and I've been studying Russian for years. Watching this video and some others I can tell that would help me because I managed to figure out the meaning of many words and sometimes even some random sentence. I love Polish literature very very much (and art in general, so much creativity over there!), and for some reason in many places I've lived I've known many Polish people with which I got along very well. But I always thought it would be way too hard to learn Polish, even more than Russian. Now I've decided to start learning, and this channel looks perfect (and encouraging). In general I like slavic cultures and languages, and although I was more into Russian, the crazy situation with that country made me look more towards Poland, mostly now that for me it is easier to travel and live there. The big variety of "atmospheres" and the nature of Poland is a big plus too. Thank you!

[@sharonheine833]

We lived with my grandparents until I was 5. My grandmother who was born in Poznań spoke to me in Polish..I answered her in English. We communicated well. I still remember many Polish words, and sometimes the Polish words for milk, bread, tea etc. pop into my head. I love Polish movies with subtitles to test myself.

[@snapdragon6601]

I'm curious how fast all the Ukrainian refugees are picking up the language? It's coming up on the 1 year anniversary of the invasion and I was thinking about this the other day. I guess it would be immersion learning since they would be interacting with Poles every day in their jobs and in public. That would probably make learning faster. Poland has done a great thing by taking in so many refugees and welcoming them so warmly during such a terrible time. Much love & respect from Seattle, Washington USA 👍 🇵🇱/🇺🇦/🇺🇸

[@andychannel1338]

I live in Poland now,and I have learning Polish for around 1 year from this channel but my Polish is still very basic,.

[@BFechner]

I’m am American who’s been living in Poland with my husband for 15 months now. Here’s a brief overview of the language: - 3 genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) - 7 cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, instrumental, dative, locative, and vocative) - 3 tenses (past, present, future) - 2 aspects (perfect and imperfect) - 3 moods (indicative - statements, imperative - commands, and conditionals) It’s no wonder this is such a difficult, complicated, and yet beautiful language to learn. All of these factors are constantly rotating in your head as you speak the language, as you learn to think a different way (conveying a certain context to your listener) and always making sure the verbs and adjectives match the same gender as the noun. I’m nowhere near fluent but I’m happy I can at least now follow along with conversations.

Pochodzę z miasta Kurytyba, o którym dziewczyna opowiada w filmie. My mother spoke Polish, but she never taught me. And think, I only found out that she spoke Ukrainian, after I was 50 years old. Now she is with the Lord, and I want to learn some Polish in memory of her and also to get out of my comfort zone, because Polish is one of the most difficult languages ​​in the world and this is good for my cognitive ability.

I would definitely say that I would not have been able to get started until I learned the list of Polish kings.

[@SzalonyKucharz]

Just the kings, or dukes, presidents and prime ministers too?

[@TheAndrewSchneider]

@@SzalonyKucharz Fair enough; the others follow as a matter of course.

[@aVeColleCter]

[@TheAndrewSchneider]

But of course, I kind of have to know one of the Polish Prime Ministers because of my line of work: I’m playing a concert in Houston November 10 including several Paderewski selections. (The more I play him, the more I like him.)

[@TheAndrewSchneider]

I mostly mention the kings (among which one should include the dukes…) because of my reading the Horrendalna Historia comics to practice. Unless I know the kings and dukes at least the names not necessarily the order, following the narrative would not be possible!

[@stasis7857]

Jak milo sluchacz jezyk polski, bardzo mily!

[@beirne]

I'd say the stereotype that she mentions about noun declensions being the most difficult part of Polish grammar is pretty correct. While there is a system behind the endings, it's a fairly complicated one, with a lot of things you just need to know. Also, beyond the cases, genders, and count, the endings also depend on how the word itself ends, so the endings multiply out even more. Saying "it's easy to learn" is just wrong. Something easy to learn in Polish grammar would be verb endings. Learning the noun endings is much more difficult than that. The only thing that might be harder than noun endings are verb forms for aspect, but that does not make learning noun endings easy.

[@BumbleBauz]

Co za fantastyczny pomysł 🥰 gratulacje na ten krok! Mam nadzieję że mam możliwości aby brać udział na ten kurs. Bardzo lubię wasze wideo!

[@angelkinq6727]

my reason to start learning polish is that well- half of my family is from poland. my father, who doesn’t speak polish didn’t want to have children he couldn’t understand so my brother and i never got to learn polish, now i want to at least get a basic understanding of the language to feel like i can be more apart of the family when the start speaking at reunions, i also think my grandma would be very happy

I’m Asian (from the Philippines) and I’m not sure if I’ll continue but would you say there is an easier Slavic language that I can begin on before learning Polish? It’s a very interesting language and maybe it’s the fact that it’s so far away from me that makes it very intriguing to me.

First and biggest error in thinking. You're all speaking POLISH. People who want to learn Polish who just speak English or a non Slavic language are not impressed. Any Polish person can speak Polish. It's your audience of NON SPEAKING Polish that you are trying to reach. Plus, you do not learn a language in months, to speak well it takes YEARS. Anyone who speaks several languages knows this.
