Similarly to Chinese, whenever you are not sure on how to read a Polish consonant, try with some kind of sh or ch sound and you'll be fine most of the time.

A golden video. I finally understood the differences.

[@RamKrishna-hf6dd]

The best video I've found thus far regarding pronunciation of Polish

[@flowologee]

Dzięki Monika! To jest najlepszy filmik z wymową, jaki kiedykolwiek widziałam. Thanks Monika! This is the best pronunciation video I've ever seen.

[@debbenning-edgar]

Dzięki, dzięki! Finally I understand the reasons of ‘why’ for voice & voiceless constanants❣️

[@Skiskiski]

The first thing you should know is that "a" with ogonek is not any more pronounced as nasal "a," but as nasal "o" sound in Polish. Polish o is really "ɔ." And it is pronounced like an "o" sound in the American English pronunciation of "thought" [θɔːt]. Polish "o" is not pronounced like the "o" in the American pronunciation of "pot."

[@aidenbustos8625]

But thought and pot make the same o sound though.

[@ilovesparky13]

Thought and pot have the same exact sound

[@henbane2247]

thought and pot have different sounds

[@rick_terscale1111]

ą = bon (french) or song (english) ... 'ohn' sound but without pronouncing the n. It is very similar to the French pronunciation. Thought = aw = thaw-t ... a slightly shorter sound than "awn' or "ohn". It is just the 'aw' or 'oh' ound. Pot = o .... even shorter still. It is just the 'o' sound.

[@domingacasas4167]

You truly are one of a kind. I have confidence to learn Polish. I used to try but the sounds destroyed me. I speak Russian so I wanted to learn all the Slavic Languages. Thank you for your clear explanation. You teach Polish very well to foreigners like myself.

Thank you! 😃

[@marynarkiewicz9794]

Oh if only some learning would stick in my brain! I grew up hearing my father and aunts and uncles speak Polish to their mother, my grandmother.. I only picked up a few words as a child.. Trying to learn over the decades.. This is very helpful.. a bit daunting, but very helpful!!!

Thank you, Monika! Your explanation about the voiced and voiceless pronunciation was so helpful. The video is wonderfully clear. I am inspired!

[@i_prefer_cake9677]

I love this video! I'm also glad that I already know what sounds will be voiceless because in this case polish is similar to hungarian.

Excellent presentation! This brings much clarity. Thanks!

[@liubomyr-peteliuk]

Sometimes I think that Polish is advanced Ukrainian, or Ukrainian is simplyfied Polish😅. Also, I am from Halychyna (Precarpathian part) and our dielect is closure to Polish, for example Elephant - in Polish it is Słoń, in Ukrainian it is Slon, and in Precarpathian dialect it is Sloń (we don't use the "Ł ł" sound). Thank you for supporting us. You are best of the best!

[@goncalves_rj]

Omg! I don’t know if it’s like that in schools but I love the way you teach, it sounds very clear to me, as I was learning using IPA

[@siasea_lang]

Thank you for this lesson! It's so interesting! As a Ukrainian, I thought it would be easy for me but the reading rules in Polish are actually quite hard. I still want to learn my ancestor's language.

When i start to think it's hard i remind myself that at least things are consistent. 'A' always sounds the same, unlike English with long, short, and irregular.

[@olatatina9856]

Świetny materiał, szukałam czegoś, co ma od razu wytłumaczone ubezdźwięcznienia. Uczniowie często nadaremnie próbują wymawiać głoski dźwięczne w miejscach, gdzie po prostu nie da się ich wymówić. Zasada jest bardzo prosta, dlatego uważam, że jak najbardziej umieszczenie jej w filmiku to super wybór. Fajnie byłoby też wspomnieć, że "ą" to nosowe "o", bo uczniom kojarzy się zawsze z literą "a". Wielkie dzięki!

[@deepakshah490]

I was really in search of such video on pronunciation. Great.. Madam. Thank you veryyyy... Much....

[@nocomment2468]

There are many letter combos to remember in Polish, but they seem logical. Thanks for the very clear video! There's no comparison with English, which has so many more combinations, and half of the time the rules are broken.

[@MukesVacseen]

This channel is so underrated. Thanks Monica :)

[@villagedalbeauty3093]

So nicely you explained each alphabet accent. thanks Ma'am.

[@VerticalBlank]

Excellent lesson -- I'm an English student of Russian looking to broaden my knowledge. Also: come back, Cyrillic alphabet, all is forgiven. 🤣 Writing a Slavic language in a Latin alphabet is like the English proverb "don't put a quart into a pint pot" -- which is like "don't put a liter into a half-liter pot".

[@PiotrPilinko]

Western Slavs went for Latin (as they were tied with western culture), while Eastern and partially Southern Slave went for Cyrillic alphabet (but before they used grazhdanka which was totally different from Cyrillic). It's impossible to write all Polish sounds with Cyrillic (i.e. almost all Slavs languages lost nasal vowels and current version of Cyrillic lack them: there was created a modified Polish Cyrillic, but actually never used). Also is direct representation of Polish digraph "dż" in Cyrillic? "дж" is not the same sound.

If you have to read "cia" "cie" "cio" "ciy" they actually sound like "ća", "će", "ćo", "ćy", with having in mind, we don't write "ća", "će", "ćo", "ćy". We write like I wrote that before instead.

I have been using Duolingo, but they never explain. You have to guess the rules on pronounciation. Your video is so helpful Monika!

The video is very useful, but it would be very helpful if you could do a video where you explain exactly how you produce the sounds because some of them are really similar and you can’t quite see what you do with your tongue.

I've been reading Polish place names and proper names in history books for decades, and I always suspected I was way off on the pronunciation of some of them. Turns out my suspicion was correct.

[@MerleBowers]

I just discovered your site. I am checking out Polish and agree that it is hard!

[@ldoll6296]

This is such a good video you’ve done so well explaining it I have learnt a lot!! We don’t have any of the ‘ć, dż, ń’ letters in the English language so I’m used to saying letters exactly how they are written in English if that makes sense 😂 so I want to say ć like ‘ka’ but in polish it’s more of a ‘ch , I wonder if polish is easier to learn if you’re French or Spanish cause I know they use diacritics 🧐❤

[@ldoll6296]

I also cannot roll my tongue to make the ‘R’ sound 😢

[@ACzechManGoingHisOwnWay]

OK, now I begin to understand, why to me as a Czech person, it is way easier to read Polish than it is to hear it spoken. Czech keeps distinct spellings as well as pronunciations for H and CH, U and Ó, RZ and Ź etc. While in spoken Polish, there seems to be no difference, making mapping back to archaic, similar or equivalent Czech words very hard or ambiguous. Very nice video.

[@junaidmahmood326]

I started to follow you is very helpful your video thank you so much 😊

[@rick_terscale1111]

6:28 - something I've discovered about dzi, from what I'm hearing. While in most cases dzi sounds like 'gee" as Monika says, if dzi goes before 'e' as in tydzień then it sounds more like "jeh" (as in jeremiah). And if it goes before ę it sounds more like "gen". dzie > Tydzień = tuh-JEH-nyah .. or tuh-JENyah dzię > Dziękuję = GEN-ku-yeh So the "ee" sound appears to be dropped.

I made sense of the rz combination but what gets me is the letter K, which seems to be a consistent and straight forward sound. But when I hear the basketball coach's name Mike Krzyzewski, I don't understand how the K becomes silent or becomes "ch" sound with the combo of krz. Maybe I'm just hearing his name wrong or just mispronounced.
