As a joke, Polish say sometimes "stół bez nóg" when asked to pronounce "stół z powyłamywanymi nogami" - the shorter (and easier to pronounce) one means "a table without legs" 😜

I just say "blat" (countertop) which what a legless table essentially is.

[@kolo5141]

Też używałem tego żartu kiedyś, ale teraz jak o tym myślę to liczba mnoga sugeruję minimum dwie wyłamane nogi, ale nie mówi o górnej liczbie. Stół z wyłamanymi tylko dwoma nogami, też możemy nazwać stołem z powyłamywanymi nogami. Wiem, że to tylko żart, a ja "sięgam" xD

[@kikixchannel]

@@kolo5141 'Stół bez nóg' też nie mówi ile nóg mu brakuje. To jest liczba mnoga 'stół bez nogi' i mówi że brakuje przynajmniej dwóch nóg...ale nie mówi że jest to stół bez jakiejkolwiek nogi. Różnica między 'Stół bez nóg' a 'Stół z powyłamywanimy nogami' jest tylko i wyłącznie w tym że pierwsze nie mówi czemu tych nóg brakuje, a drugie mówi. Ponieważ zostały wyłamane.

Very good job, Rob! Apart from some obvious difficulties I noticed three things. 1) The vowel "i" in Polish isn't pronounced like English "i" in "sin", but like "ee" in "seen". 2) The vowel "y" in Polish isn't pronounced like schwa (short "e"), but like "e" in "roses". 3) You tried to add a final vowel [eh] to those short Polish words "w" (meaning "in", "into" or "inside") or "z" (meaning "with") where there is none and those words should sound truncated.

The hardest one for me is actually "Wyindywidualizowaliśmy się z rozentuzjazmowanego tłumu", because it requires you to do something that Polish language does not have as a standard - combining several words into one, which - for example - the German language does. But there's still a trick to it which can actually divide the word into a few pieces: - wy - vy (there's unfortunately no way known by me to represent it more accurately) - indywidual - individual (but instead of using second and third "i" letter, use "y") - izo - iso (but don't spell it like "iso" with "ay" but "ee-so" or "ee-zo") - wali - val ee (or something like "wall-e" but with "v" as the first letter) - śmy - shmy The same goes to "rozentuzjazmowanego": - roz - rose (but try not to add the hidden "ou" while spelling it, so not "rous" but "ros") - entuzjazm - enthusiasm (but with the "jazm" which should be spelled as "yasm") - owa - ova And then simply add "nego" at the end and it should be fine.

You did amazing job! As a Polish native I am also struggling with those and sometimes make mistakes. There are challenges for Poles to say those sentences fast. The question is not if someone will make mistake but when.... in the vast majority of cases.

[@matiwrubli]

Kinda common thing one may say when having guests over sounds almost like a tongue twister: "cieszę się, że przyszliście" (I'm glad you came).

[@Lenaaa662]

The main problem seems to be trying to pronounce rz separately as r and z (or just as r) when its the same sound as ż. Reading it as 'sz' (as in push) is much closer to actual sound of ż and doesn’t stop the flow of the word.

[@malgorzatalenort8888]

[@eliotbeker650]

[@evelyn4898]

I'm totally impressed! You did really good job. You said at least 3 sentences correctly 😊 Polish language is not easy and I'm sure that many Poles have a lot of struggles with pronunciation these tongue twisters. Believe me, I had and I'm Polish 😂

[@user-fr4es9gj5d]

You did absolutely great! Especially, that these sentences was made to be hard to pronounce, even for the Poles. Just a mater of practice pronouncing these "prz", "trz", "krz", "chrz" etc. And yes, "Ą" and "Ę" are distinctive for Polish. Even Russians struggle with them. Just a few words: 1. "Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami". Yes, that's because it's long. 2. Ząb zupa zębowa dąb zupa dębowa" is actually a joke. When you say it quickly, you most likely say "dąb dupa dębowa", just because in the first part all the words starts with the same letter. And "dupa" means "ass"> 3. "Król Karol kupił Królowej Karolinie korale koloru koralowego" is an excercise for kids to correctly pronounce the letter "R" 4. "W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie" is the begining of a rhyme "Crząszcz" by Jan Brzechwa, one of the best Polish poet, known mostly for children books and rhymes. 5. "W czasie suszy szosa sucha" is one of the kind you mentioned "yellow lorry, red lorry". Easy to say slowly, puts knots on the tongue when you say it quickly. 6. "Jola lojalna, Jola nielojalna" another excercise for children, because of the "jol" and "loj". Thought it would be easy for you, because "lojalna" sounds pretty much like "loyal" 7. "Czy rak trzyma w szczypcach strzęp szczawiu czy trzy części trzciny". Yes, that's tricky, it was made to distungish "trz" and "szcz" 8. "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" Yes, you already know ;) 9. "wyindywidualizowaliśmy się z rozentuzjazmowanego tłumu (przeintelektualizowanych prestidigatorów). These are just long words. And you have a clue: "individual" and "enthusiasm" are words you know ;) And be glad you don't learn German or a nordic language. They can say virtually whole sentence with one word. 10. "Nie pieprz pietrze wieprza pieprzem" is another kids' rhyme by Jan Brzechwa. Every language has its tongue twisters. Too many constans and not enogh voels? Well, maybe, we are Slavs after all. But it could be worse. Do you know what's the biggest island in Croatia? It's Krk. And what about Czech? "Škrt plch z mlh Brd pln skvrn z mrv prv hrd scvrnkl z brzd skrz trs chrp v krs vrb mls mrch srn čtvrthrst zrn" is a fully legitimate sentence!

[@dorotabarbowska2184]

The Czech one🤣🤣😂

[@alh6255]

"Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami" ( "Table with broken legs.") - this is a tongue twister that is at least 800-900 years old. It was also used in quite serious situations. E.g. in the beginning of 14th century, some of the inhabitants of Kraków rebelled, wanting to have more independence of the city's self-government from the royal authority. In this rebellion, an important role was played by the townspeople of German origin, who spoke very good Polish, but could not cope with tongue twisters, especially with "Ł" (very easy for French or English ppl, but not for German). When the revolt was suppressed, the Poles looked for Germans in Kraków, because they believed that they had stirred up the inhabitants of the city. Every citizen of Kraków was told to say "Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami" .The one who couldn't do that in a Polish way (smooth and sonorous) went to prison (or was killed on the spot) like a German troublemaker.

[@aimfuldrifter]

"Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami" = "Table with broken legs", without the "It is just a". You did pretty awesome during the second sentence with all the "ą" and "ę". Don't worry! You're a fast learner. "W czasie suszy szosa sucha" literally means "In time of the drought the chausee is dry". The video you watched has a lousy translation. :P The one with Szczebrzeszyn is probably the hardest one of them all and it's not easy even for some Poles. ;) The truth is that we also have some letters that sound different grammatically in different situations like "rz" - it's usually like "ż" but when it's after a consonant you pronounce it like "sz" (sh). Don't worry Rob, you did very good. Have a great day!

[@user-vv1or1uk3q]

I'm impressed with your progress over last two weeks with your pronunciation. You have made me smile and happy that you trying so hard. Good job.

[@RobReacts1]

haha thanks! I try

[@VoidCosmonaut]

Most of these are easy for Poles. Some are somewhat difficult but only when you try to say those quickly like Sucha Szosa(...), Jola Lojalna(...) or Zupa Zębowa(...). That is why Your best was Jola and Korale because you took time to pronounce them. Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz is easy to pronounce by any Pole. Real tongue twister here is Wiyindualizowaliśmy się (...) which is hard to pronounce even if You go sylable by sylable. I get idea of the vid saying those are tongue-twisters for foreigners that aren't familiar with Polish but i believe that a real tongue-twister is the one that is problematic to native speakers.

As a Polish, one word is difficult for me too from this list 😅. It is "Enthusiastic" PL: " "Rozentuzjazmowanego " (I had to look at the screen to help myself 😂). In English its more easier than in my own language lol 😂

[@kikixchannel]

Well, for starters, it's not 'Enthusiastic'. 'Enthusiastic' is 'Entuzjazm'. 'Rozentuzjazmowanego' should correctly be translated as 'made enthusiastic'. In fact, quite a number of these were mistranslated into English. Well, it doesn't in any way take away from the difficulty of pronunciation for the non-native speakers (and in some cases...native speakers).

Similar situations with sz. You can say "sh". It might be helpful.

You are doing pretty good to be honest, if you keep up like that, you probably will already have the basis in short time As a tip, ą is rather pronounced 'ou', and ę is rather pronounced 'eu'

Hi Rob! A fun fact for you. Lemski dialect of Polish language is the only dialect of Polish written in cyrillic alphabet. АБЦДЕФГХИЙКЛМНОПРСТУВЗШЩЧЯЮ. Its speakers are located mostly in southeastern Poland and also on the Slovakian side. Check out the song Hrdza - Stefan by the Slovakians

I don't know why you try something so difficult, most Poles can't repeat it correctly. I have big problems with it myself. I think you're doing very well, you're improving yourself, you're picking up where you make mistakes, congratulations.

[@RobReacts1]

I tried it because I knew it would be amusing for people :D Plus I like a challenge

[@joann8118]

Rob, don't worry. Many Poles cannot pronounce these tongue twisters correctly. You are great for practicing them. Thanks to them, with persistent practice, your Polish pronunciation will get better and better. When I learn English, I learn to pronounce every single word correctly a million times. I keep my fingers crossed for you.

[@jellychees9858]

you did great. I'm from poland 🇵🇱 and i struggled with this.

[@G4nd4lf]

18:10 One mistake you was always making. You was pronouncing "rz" as a separate letters, while in polish you should pronounce them the same as "ż" so similar to letter "j" in word "jargon". Saying "pieprz", the way you tried to say it would be hard to pronounce even for polish. Only word in polish when this rule doesn't apply is verb "zmarznąć".

[@Krokmaniak]

Mostly right but jargon using polish phonetics would be dżargon. Ż sound doesn't exist in English language. From my experience with foreigners it's easiest to understand ż sound as french j.

Jak na początek to bardzo ładnie przeczytałeś kilka słów.Gratulacje👏👏👏👏

[@exactlyLondon]

What is really great and amazing that in word "szczypcach" there is "sz" and "cz" next to each other and you pronounced it PERFECTLY!!! Many english ppl pronounce it exactly same, incorrectly and sounding absolutely same. Like, they can't hear difference. That is really great achievement. Some of them sounds even same saying "sz", "cz", "rz" and they think they are right and correct, but they are not. You are doing it really well.

[@LanguageFreak]

Oh, my video!:D Well done, you did it 👏😁 Thanks for the link in the description!:D

[@RobReacts1]

They are absolutely fantastic for someone like me learning. This is going into the deep end of course but if I can pronounce these words then I can pronounce any Polish word right haha

Chyba najtrudniejszy język, brawo za podjęcie takiego wyzwania. DOBRA ROBOTA

[@rademenes1754]

Witaj Rob jak zwykle pozdrawiam z Polski i miło było popatrzeć jak męczysz się z naszym językiem . Because English is simple, good English is expected everywhere and in every rank. Polish Manchu or Hindi or even Hebrew are not simple languages ​​of simple peoples. The more complex the language, the greater the security Pozdrawiam z Gdańska w Polsce

[@karolinakuc4783]

Czy ja wiem. Tak na podstawkę szybko idzie. Ale jakby się chciało mówić perfect English no to nie ma tak łatwo. Bo uczysz się że np. owl nie wymawia się ołl ale ałl. I inne smaczki. Transkrypcja itp. i też sporym utrudniem jest fakt, że zbitki liter nie są jasną wskazówką jak dane słowo wymawiać. Więc trzeba słownika

[@hylintssang]

You did really well :D Polish people often have problems with these twisters

Pozdrawiam z Polski. Powodzenia 👍🍀💚

[@aaergplay6022]

Rob, You're doing great! And don't worry that some sounds don't want to work. They don't work YET. Because English doesn't have those sounds. For example a lot of Polish people struggles with "th", because we don't have that sound. So instead of proper th You may hear from them f or v. Like "fe" or "ve" instead of "the". And few tips: u/ó is like oo in poo, school, boot And maybe some French may help: ą is like an in fiancee, rz/ż is like j in Jaques, j'adore, and rz together is very almost always read the same like ż. Keep doing great work! Because that vid is already great. Many Poles struggle with those sentences too. That's why we love them so much. Always fun! 😁

[@zzuuzzaa1000]

Heyy just one thing with the pronunciation, when you say "ó", it is the same way as "u", not "o", but all in all you're doing a great job! The "ą" and "ę" confuse Polish people too :)

[@tomekarato676]

Rob good point 🎉 The third tangue twister been perfect! Good job🎉

[@marcingrzyb9325]

Your last try on "Ząb zupa zębowa, dąb zupa dębowa" was spot on 😁. You're doing really great 😁.

[@DawidC.909]

You can mix some of them to make a hard tonguetwister like "W czasie suszy chrząszcz brzmi z powyłamywanymi nogami" which means "In dry weather the beetle buzzes with broken legs"

[@crazyfrytka]

I honestly laughed all through your video. 😂😂😂 It was so cute and charming, to see you struggle with those crazy sentences. 😂 I got to admit though - you really did pretty well. I was amazed how good your understanding and pronounciation were. It wasn't perfect, but you were understable. 💪🏻 PS: "Ząb zupa zębowa, dąb zupa dębowa." isn't a true tong twister, becasue this sentence is fairly easy for Poles to say, but the whole thing is not to mispronounce "dupa" when you keep repeating it quickly. ;)

[@RobReacts1]

Better than comedy 🤣😂🤣!!! I head already a great laugh when you say at the beginning that the good thing about Polish is that all the letters sound the same all the time [...] and that the only two tricky ones are "ą"and "ę"... Simply hilarious !!!

Rob, good job! Now, top 10 english twisters translated to polish 😂

[@gumishq]

Rob, the whole idea of "Ząb, zupa zębowa; dąp zupa dębowa" is that when people pronounce it quickly they tend to say "Ząb zupa zębowa; dąb dupa dębowa" instead of "zupa dębowa" - and "dupa" is "an ass" - most Polish people find it amusing ;)

[@agnieszka833city8]

You are getting better Rob. I'm impressed 😉

[@ukaszjanowski2183]

You did very good. Many Poles have a problem with these tongue twisters.

[@natalkabzk1282]

I noticed every time there's a "rz" you try to read the r but just how "sz" and "cz" make different sounds when they're together like that so does "rz" which makes the exact same sound as the letter ż (besides of all the translations of the word frozen gor whatever reason)
