Good thing to observe with Ś/Ć/Ź/Ń and SI/CI/ZI/NI counterparts is the fact that the latter create a new syllable (because of the vowel "i"; here it displays two functions: firstly it palatalizes (i.e. softens) the preceding consonant (SI is pronounced just like Ś), secondly it functions as a normal vowel (and we know that vowels create syllables centered around them). On the second hand, the ones with diacritics (i.e. the acute accents at the top) don't create new syllables because they're pure consonants, and thus attach themselves directly to an already existing syllable (usually the preceding one). As such, the rhythm of words becomes completely different!: '

Even Polish people have a problem with grammar. Ortografia in particular, "ó" vs "u", "rz" vs "ż", "nie" together or seperate ex. "nie wie" ("do not know") vs "niewiedza" ("lack of knowledge") vs "niewiedzący"("the one that doesn't know")

In fact, unless someone is a Polish linguistics, they probably forget the rules of Polish grammar right after finishing primary school. The trick is that Poles use grammar just by being familiar with it, and not by knowing the rules it follows. The Polish language itself is quite straight forward, but trying to understand theory behind it makes it difficult to learn (speaking is another matter).

@@rafal.qwerty Exactly. I don't understand Polish grammar rules despite learning them back in elementary/middle school , while using them fluently at that time already. The mianownik, dopełniacz and stuff in Polish come just as naturally as differencing between "interested" and "interesting" in English. When you are fluent in Polish you just know which one to use but you have no clue what rule exactly you are using . It just make sense. Otherwise instead of "I planted a tree and it grew." you get stuff like "I become a tree when it grew".

Cześć Rob! Jestem też z Anglii i uczę się też polskiego! One thing I've found really useful to know about is consonant devoicing. In the video he mentions the "w" in "wszyczy" being pronounced like an "f", which would be an example of this. The thing is, "w" (or English "v") and "f" are basically the same sound, except that in the case of "w" / "v" we vibrate our vocal chords. So "w" is called a voiced consonant, whereas "f" is unvoiced. You can literally feel this difference if you touch your Adam's apple and say the sounds. It turns out that in Polish, consonant clusters (i.e. consonants next to each other with no vowels in between) are always either all voiced or all unvoiced. In the word "wszyczy", the "w" is "devoiced" and becomes "f", but the reason for this is that "sz" is unvoiced and you can't have a mix of voiced and unvoiced consonants in a consonant cluster. There's a really good explanation here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpPCeX17g7ikfsksi=JMsimRpSJf9w6b33 P.S. When we devoice everything, that's what we call whispering. Or in other words, whispering is talking without vibrating our vocal chords at all.

everything you are talking about and the entire learning of voiced and unvoiced sounds is in the phonetics section, which is (from a Pole's perspective) funny because you separate all the sounds, syllables and letters and write the word in "[...]" as it is read, by what it looks like it was written by a 7-year-old, e.g. opens it is written [otw'era], because "i" changes into a softened "w" what is written "w'", but there are cases where you write "j" and a softened consonant e.g. names - [im'jon]. In general, learning phonetics is simple, but it may be in some way incomprehensible and more important for a foreigner compared to a Pole who knows how to pronounce it from childhood and only later learns about this section because it won't change much for him anyway. Ps. I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong, but I'm writing with a translator because I don't want to write such a long statement in English.

He forgot to mention that in a word "wstrzemięźliwe" 'rz' is spelled after voiceless 't' which is gonna change voiced 'rz' to voiceless 'sz' as it is almost impossible to pronounce voiced 'rz' after voiceless consonant. The rest was laid out pretty nicely ;)
@lothariobazaroff3333
@lothariobazaroff3333 10 ай бұрын
Good job, Rob! The reason why "w" in "wszyscy" is pronounced as "f" (it becomes voiceless) is because it is followed by a voiceless "sz". If it were followed by a "ż" (voiced counterpart of "sz"), it would remain "w" (that is an English v sound), e.g. in the word "wżer".
@SiempreConTrasto
@SiempreConTrasto 5 ай бұрын
There are some pairs of consonants in Polish that change sound in specific situations. Those pairs are: W to F B to P D to T G to K This is what we call consonant harmony. If the sound after the given consonant is vibrant you read it as written. If it's not - you read it as an alternative. How to distinguish which version to use? It's easy. Place your finger on the throat and read a word aloud. Wszyscy. You will feel that W - vibrates while sz - doesn't. This is how you know what to choose - F over W sound (it also doesn't vibrate). Usually if any of this letter is the last letter in the word it is also pronounced alternatively. Disclaimer: It never happens the other way.

im czech so i can give you the czech equivalent of "wszyscy" which is "všichni" where "š" is like "sh" which in polish is the "sz". then "szczodrze" in czech is "štědře" where "ř" is "rz" in polish and as the video said, there is no english equivalent. and "ě" well the pronounciation depends on what the letter is before this, in some cases it can be pronounced as "je" which is in english like "ye" in "YEP" and in other cases it can change the spelling of the letter before the "ě" and the "ě" itself is pronounced like normal "E". In this case it changes like this : "tě" -> "ťe" where Ť ( ť ) and the only example for a word that uses the same pronounciation of that is "STEW" in english... same happens for "ti" where the T becomes Ť.

Podobnie jeśli to pierwsza jest bezdźwięczna, a ta druga jest dźwięczna (krz-), to ta druga staje się bezdźwięczna w wymowie. W początkach edukacji dzieci jesteśmy uczeni tego, jak rozróżniać dźwięczne i bezdźwięczne głoski - gdy przytkniesz dłoń do krtani, mówiąc głoskę dźwięczną czujesz wibracje, przy bezdźwięcznej nie czujesz wibracji.

Pronunciation of "ch" and "h", "rz" and "ż" or "u" and "ó" varied in the distant past. Currently, it is only a remnant of the written form - it is an element of Polish orthography, which sometimes causes headaches for kids in primary schools. It is also worth noting that rich people, the nobility, until the 15th century, they used mainly Latin in Poland which had a big impact on our language (we still use Roman numerals for some purposes).

You're doing great! The Ą and Ę are probably the most difficult since they're not a thing in English, but you're handling them well. One thing I noticed you do, and it's a small sample from 3 months ago so maybe it's not even relevant, but you seem to have a rising accent at the end of your words. At 13:18 you pronounced the word like dobrA robotA, but in Polish the accent lands on the second to last syllable, more like dObra robOta. You won't sound any less coherent for it, but if you're aiming for full correctness, try moving that accent back.

Polish speakers soften consonants. The last consonant in a word is always soft. B becomes P, D becomes T, W becomes F, G becomes K, RZ becomes SZ. In addition a soft consonant makes the preceding one soft as way. W in wszyscy sounds F but in Wrzątek W sounds like W because RZ is hard. D in kreda sounds like D. In kredka it sounds like T because the K is soft and softens the D into K

Witaj Rob, Bardzo lubię Twój kanał i cieszę się, że tak bardzo interesujesz się naszym krajem, jego historią, kulturą, zwyczajami, a nawet chcesz nauczyć się naszego języka. Choć nasz język nie jest łatwy, a nawet powiedziałbym, że jest jednym z najtrudniejszych języków świata, doceniam Twój wysiłek. Warto popróbować w ćwiczeniu języka też inne nasze "łamańce języka" na początek wysyłam proste. "Czarna krowa w kropki bordo żuła trawę kręcąc mordą. Nie pieprz wieprza pieprzem Pietrze, bo bez pieprzu wieprz jest lepszy. Król Karol kupił królowej Karolinie korale koloru koralowego. W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie. Jola lojalna, Jola nielojalna. Czy Tata czyta cytaty z Tacyta. Człek człekokształtny i człek nieczłekokształtny. Gdy pomorze nie pomoże, to pomoże może morze, a gdy morze nie pomoże, to pomoże może las." Pozdrawiam Tomek z Opola.

It is generally possible to understand what you are saying. So it's not too bad. But you need to practice a lot more.

Maybe one quick fix: try to pay attention to the distance between tongue and palate. Sz, cz, rz/ż - tongue low, maybe the tip touches a bit of front part of palate, s, c, z - medium distance, but You already know how to pronounce them and ś, ć, ź - tongue doesn't really touch the palate, maybe a bit on the sides (it definitely touches the upper molar teeth) but it's really close. Maybe try to exercise it in threes: sz->s->ś, cz->c->ć, rz/ż->z->ź. Each three without moving lips and jaw. You can try it on the word cześć :D

How many times I said this rules u=ó Sz - sh, cz is like tch (watch)… and others. I wrote comments many times before and I was stopped by other people then it isn’t work that but in my opinion it works and it’s the best way to explain non Polish people how pronouns Polish sounds very easy. I’m Polish btw.

Rob you doing great! Just to help you find it easier. At the end you wanted to say "Do widzenia" (Do wi-dze-nia), but actually you said "Do widzienia" (Do wi-dzie-nia). There is a small diffrence betwen those two pronunsiations. As you saw syllabl "dze" is more like "ce", where the syllabl "dzie" is more like "cie = će" as same as in "Dziękuje" - word which you already know. So when you see "dze" just say it like "ce" and should be more easier for you and better to undersdand to others. I wish you all the best, and im really happy of your progress!

Cześć Rob! Bardzo dobrze Ci idzie nauka języka polskiego! Jesteśmy pod wrażeniem :) After I sent you the link to that video my partner and I waited to see if you will be interested to make a reaction video. We have really enjoyed watching it! It's nice to see your progress in pronunciation! Good luck and keep it up! I hope my English accent will soon be as good as your Polish one ;)

Your explanation are very good. Usually it is like a person from some country, e.g. Englishman is not used to using sounds that sound differently in another language, e.g. Polish and his pronunciation possibilities are in such case not developed enough. And exactly the same is the other way around. I as a Pole have a problem with correct, easy and fast pronunciation of many English words. My mouth "does not work" enough properly for English...That's why everyone needs training.

You've been very brave! well done! / Byłeś bardzo dzielny! Dobra robota! ;-) Btw, this sentence is indeed crazy since it makes Polish sund like Serbo-croatian. Normally Polish sentences do not include so may of those sounds in such a close proximity. But this is how a proper sentence in a Serbo-croatian would look like.

"Dżem, dżuma, wha-" during the "dżdżownica" bit was so funny to me. Appropriate reaction, though. Btw, the word means "earthworm". Or, since "dżdżyć" is an old Polish word for "to rain" (now out of use in favor of saying variants of "pada deszcz" - "the rain is falling"), so for us it's technically a "rain-worm" named for how they come out of the ground after rainfall.
