I can't thank you enough for your lessons. You are a big help to me. I am enjoying learning with you 🙂

[@quicklot5982]

My native language is Bosnian and I have a couple of polish friends that I play with, and the languages are so similar in both words and grammar. I can understand about 40% of what they say in polish and tought it could be an easy third language to learn. Also a slavic language being my native one the pronunciations are natural and take no effort and it amazes me how much you have to simplify it for everyone else and I find it simpler to translate the English sentences into Bosnian and than into Polish.

[@lowgpu1687]

How are you doing so far?

[@DigBipper188]

You'll definitely have an easier time than us English speakers :) trying to ditch the heavily ingrained pronunciations for some words and letters is pretty challenging.

[@dalasantosanto4508]

It's incredible your explanation, I know nothing about polish, but I'd like to learn, thank you for your lesson.

[@filipinagraceinpoland5251]

[@rosettekanyunyuzi]

Thanks alot i really enjoy your lessons and learn the words

[@user-og1nu5pb8c]

The word order and many basic vocabulary are almost the same as in Russian. This is the first time ever for me to learn Polish. With a basic understanding of Russian this is really easy to follow. No wonder slavic languages are so closely related that it's so easy for the speakers to learn other slavic languages interchangeably. I started with Ukranian several days ago, so there were no problems following it.

Hey, great lesson, a bit of a tip, when you show multiple ways to say a word (short versions) you might want to say if its informal or not.

[@PolishwithMonika]

Thanks for the tip. Just to add, the short form "tu" is neutral and can be used both in formal and informal language.

[@elmaddinguluzade6163]

Thanks for your lesson. They are very helpful. at 5:51 Please change "Czy jest tam sklep" to "as you says " Czy tam jest sklep"

[@dmitriiukolkin4159]

Hi Monica! Thanks for putting it all together. I really like your teaching approach. One remark: foot is pronounced /fʊt/ not /fuːt/. If I were you I would use the word pool /puːl/ as an example. Otherwise native speakers of English might find it confusing.

[@PolishwithMonika]

Thanks for the comment! True, 'pool' is a better example to show the sound quality, although the length of the Polish sound is shorter, [u] not [u:].

[@airjordanulas]

Hi! Thanks a lot fot these lessons! It helps a lot. One correction from my side: @05:46 there should be "(Czy) tam jest sklep" written there, instead of "(Czy) jest tam sklep" Thanks for the lessons again🙏

[@PolishwithMonika]

Thanks! Indeed, I said one version and wrote another! Anyway, both versions are correct to say, as Polish has quite a flexible word order 😀

[@airjordanulas]

@@PolishwithMonika oh I thought it was a mistake. So it was just another version of order! Thanks for the answer 🙏

[@keshabkunwar5803]

Great

[@SliceOfDog]

These lessons are fantastic, thank you so much! Quick question about "Who is this?" and "Who is there?" at 12:20 - You say "Who is this?" can be either "Kto to jest" or just "Kto to", but "Who's there?" can just be "Kto tam". Would the sentence "Kto tam jest?" not make sense? If not, why doesn't that work?

[@PolishwithMonika]

"Kto tam?" and "Kto tam jest?" are both ok. "Kto tam?" is the short version and would be used for example when someone is knocking at the door. "Kto tam jest?" is the full version and would be used when asking a person to find out who is present in another place.

[@SliceOfDog]

@@PolishwithMonika Excellent, and thank you for the quick reply! So for example, "Kto tam jest?" would work if you were asking who's at a party you were thinking about going to? Kinda like "Oh, I dunno if I'm going. Who else is there?"

[@PolishwithMonika]

Yes, that's it! Kto tam jest? - Who is there? (on the party)

[@drsupremestrange8414]

im foreigner but i can speak Russian very good so it's easy for me to learn polish

[@christinedoris1]

Hello Monika. I really love your lessons. Just a question at the 5:38 mark. Is there a mistake with It is there and What is there? The order is different. Also, There is a house and Is there a house? Should both be tam jest dom? Just trying to figure out why the order is different. Thank you:)

[@PolishwithMonika]

Hello. The word order in Polish is quite flexible so there are often many possibilities in which order you put the words. Although there might be more preferred or neutral ways. Words at the beginning and at the end of the sentence are often the ones we want to emphasize. But very often it is how we raise the intonation tells what we want to emphasize. What is there? Co tam jest? (sounds for me the most neutral) Co jest tam? (also possible, less frequent) There is a house. Tam jest dom. (most neutral "There is a house") Dom jest tam. (this would mean more "The house is there" or "A house is there") Dom tam jest. (here we emphasize more the "dom" like "A HOUSE is there.") Is there a house? Jest tam dom? (question when we want to know if a house exists there) Tam jest dom? (here we underline more the place "Is THERE is a house?") Dom jest tam? (A house is there?) Dom tam jest? (A house is there?)

[@jayanthony2342]

5:48 "is there a store?" the polish translation is incorrect order? Jest tam instead of tam jest?

[@PolishwithMonika]

In Polish, the word order is quite flexible (but not random), also in questions. The order however might emphasize specific words, or simply is more common in use. Jest tam sklep? - Is there a store? Is a store over there? (Sounds neutral. We are asking if a store exists somewhere.) Tam jest sklep? - There is a store? (Here we put some emphasize on the place "tam". ) Also, apart from the word order, the way we put stress on the words will signalize our intentions.

At 5:49, is there a typo? It writes "jest tam sklep", but you say "tam jest sklep". The correct grammar is "tam jest sklep", right?

[@PolishwithMonika]

True, I said one thing and wrote something else. Sorry. Although here both versions are ok, as the Polish word order is quite flexible. (Czy) tam jest sklep? = (Czy) jest tam sklep?

5:51 the last sentence is written wrong, isn't it?

Yes, I say "Czy tam jest sklep?" but I wrote "Czy jest tam sklep?", although both are correct. In Polish the word order is quite flexible (but not random) and words often move around depending what you want to emphasize.

Have enjoyed the first two lesson samples, but €59 is a silly price. You'd make more money overall if this were much cheaper. Why sell a handful at €59 when you can sell ten times as much at a third of the price? Simple business sense.

[@PolishwithMonika]

Glad that you have enjoyed the first lessons. Finding a satisfying price for both parties is not always easy. Think more of the value you will get after purchasing the course and how much you will learn in a short period of time. Also, I sometimes share promotional discount codes for the course. Like now, till end of January with the code "polish23" you will get a 23% discount :) And remember that by buying my courses you are supporting me and my KZbin channel where I share many free lessons.
