1. W is like V 2. Ł is like W (example: woo!) 3. Ó and u are like "oo" 4. cz is like ch (example: challenging) 5. sz is like sh (exapmle: shower) 6. ch and h is like h (example: hide) 7. dz, ą, ę, ś, ć, ń and others are too hard for me to explain to you.

('Ci' is spelled 'Ći') Ł = 'W' in ''winner' W = 'V' in 'Venus' Rz, Ż = 'J' in 'Jean Michel Jarre' Dż = 'J' in 'John Johnson' Ś = Like 'Sh' in "Shalala lala' song by Vengaboys ('Si' is spelled 'Śi') Ź = 'g' in 'magia' in Portuguese ('ʑ') Ch = 'H' in 'Hello' or 'High' (Just ignore 'C', our 'Cheeseburger' 'Ch' is 'Cz') Ę = 'ɛ', like 'e', in 'Kendall Jenner', it's not the best example though Ą = Like in French 'Monde' (we would write it 'Mąd') Ó = U, like in 'Museum' 0:41 this guy is correct with most of the names.

"Alright, you won , poland" *haven't heard that much since the commonwelth have we?*

[@blinski1]

Polish pronunciation is really fairly easy. Each letter generally always sounds the same, and their sound is pretty close to generic latin; their sound is clear, hard, always has the same lenght, accent is generally always the same (second to last syllabe), Polish is slow, you can hear every letter spoken. How to ruin it? It is just COMPLETELY NON INTUITIVE for the foreigners beacause of our own symbols and unexpected sound of vowels and merged consonants. It just doesn't come to mind that 'sz' is 'sh', 'dż' is 'g' (as in 'gel'), 'ł' is like Portugese 'l' (just like in the word 'Brazil' pronounced in Portugese) or 'ą' is just like French 'ont'. It is not that there are dozens of them to learn - there are few, it's just about ten minute learning. Main problem is that there are lots of them in ALMOST EVERY word! It's not only because of words of Polish origin containing sounds strange to one's ear, but also because Polish language has some kinky idea of 'polishing up' most of the foreing words coming from Latin, French, German, English etc. We exchange trivial r's to rz's, o's to ó's, l's to ł's, d's to dź's and so on; so in the end we often end up with something sounding completely different and looking barely like the original word.

[@nowy5]

blinski1 "Polish pronunciation is really fairly easy" this is not completely true always, it is not enough in all words to read word in Polish only with letters, it is possible in Russian (despite o and a)

[@blinski1]

[@adam15021992]

+香口膠 You know, pronunciation is one thing, being hard depends on languages you already know. There are some rules you have to follow and that's it. It's not like English - in Polish, spelling indicates pronunciation perfectly (well, almost). I reckon our grammar is fucked up. Almost every word changes its form depending on the sentence and collocation it's used in, furthermore - words that change their forms have a lot of them. For example, let's take a word "come" - "przyjść". I guess there are 4 forms of "come" (plus "have", "will" etc.) and I've just listed 43 forms of "przyjść" plus words that are not considered as a verb. You have to know when to use each of them and the list is probably not over. We also have two plural forms of nouns (WTF). And it's just the beginning of the journey. If you like challenges - go for it and learn Polish, good luck! :)

"This is how they write LOLZ, right?" No, but it is how we write boat.

[@filipwawszczak4204]

I’m happy you put Częstochowa because my dads from there and my whole family is polish

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz= mission impossible for Americans :P

[@The666CZARNY666]

Wiktoria Nowakowska This is impossible for every non-Polish. :P (Especially for Germans, yeah? :D)

[@Galvars]

Wiktoria Nowakowska That only one mission of epic quest to pronounce: - Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz Chrząszczyżewoszyce powiat Łękołody.

[@Muzzer27]

Galvars Why do you write down made up words? Only the name Grzegorz really exists, the rest is bullcrap from a movie, don't make foreigners even more confused than they already are.

[@Galvars]

Muzzer27 Oh lad, every one of it exist in real world. Name Grzegorz is real.. surname Brzeczyszczykiewisz also exist.

[@Muzzer27]

Galvars Check it up, these are nonsense words used in a commedy flick, they weren't supposed to be and weren't indeed real. What's the use of challenging foreigners to pronounce words that don't make much sense in the Polish language?

[@pawelkrawczyk8355]

Oh boy being polish and watching this makes me feel like a very smart person

[@Departing_Sanity]

Polish is very difficult. I tried to learn a little. Can't.

[@nicolemyszka260]

Its actually easy! My friend has been learning Polish for 3 months and she is very good

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Nicole Myszka My girlfriend speaks fluent Polish. I tried to learn a little and I just can't wrap my mouth around the words. They're almost unpronounceable.

[@sixsticks3452]

Ukrianian is even harder man, epespecialy for Canadians and americans.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

The narrator definitely pronounced Grudziądz wrong.

[@rafakawka4795]

Incognito nope

[@marek9081]

Yeah, the 'r' is a bit off. It's an English 'r', not Polish.

[@undeadbandit835]

Polski to jeden z najtrudniejszych języków świata, duhhh

[@xkhv_5658]

Anastazja Lopes Nawet niektórzy Polacy nie potrafią się posługiwać tym językiem, więc jeśli nie jest się Polakiem lub kimś kto bardzo dobrze zna ten język, nie może się wypowiadać, że ten język jest bardzo łatwy.

[@Saeglopur89]

I showed this in traffic on our way to Toruń with friends from Netherlands and Norway :D

[@markobasten9327]

[@Askorpina]

Moi kochani, słowo "Konstantynopolitańczykiewiczówianeczka" jest jak najbardziej poprawne z punktu poprawności językowej, chociaż, rzeczywiście, mniej popularne niż krótsza forma (porównaj: dziewczyna, dziewczyneczka) ;) A po co iść na łatwiznę? Marko Basten Chemia to zło.

[@vojtasjedyny]

Lesson #1: in Polish W is spoken like yours V. Wrocław = Vrotz-wah-v. Bye!

[@SIMcityplayer2002]

Lesson#2: Never say the 'z,' it's always silent.

[@Vengir]

+SIMcityplayer2002 Absolutely untrue. "z" often is combined with "r", "c", "s" or "d" to create a specific sound, but it's not silent. It's as if I said "h" is silent in "th" - it doesn't work that way. In addition to that, "z" is often its own sound, or even a word (a zero-syllable-long one)! You could perhaps say that by modern standards that "c" that stands before "h" is silent. It's a simplification (especially since some regions still differentiate between "ch" and "h"), but not entirely incorrect.

[@krysiamilfowa5780]

tak

[@empyrionin]

+Colonel DutyPL Or any other European for that matter, especially Eastern. Takes like 30 seconds to learn how to pronounce each digraph and phoneme in Polish, then it makes sense. I agree, if you don't even have 30 seconds for that, it's probably disastrous . :D

[@zuziax5708]

tak

[@happyvalleykid6324]

bendybus Szczecin is my favorite Polish city too! Mainly because it's the only one I've ever been too...

[@tomsilver]

[@johnykosbe4750]

w sumie, chujowe to jest, ale cieszmy się, że przynajmniej możemy tak pisać "jestem polakiem". Francuzów, czy Szwedów już niedługo będą karać za pisanie rzeczy typu "jestem francuzem" "jestem szwedem".
