@@kacpermalina308 if you mean 'Braille' that's not a language but a writing system (even exactly the same type as ours, an alphabet) and I wouldn't call the Mandarin tones the hardest because there are more complicated tone systems in that region, especially Vietnamese (6 tones) ps im polish

[@zidane8452]

So it's a phonetic language?

[@pablosslo]

​@@zidane8452 I am not an expert, but I guess so. For example, even if you have a complicated surname, you wouldn't need to spell it out for a call center agent. There would be no 'How do you spell that?' question-they would know how to write it based on what they hear.

[@cokolwiekwpisane]

​​@@zidane8452only exception is that we have voiced and unvoiced consonants. if you have voiced consonant before unvoiced consonant it turns into unvoiced one. eg w->f in the video because its before sz which is unvoiced. If i remember correctly, it depends on wheter you use your throat to pronounce the sound

[@dominika3762]

It's not a fully phonetic language, people are ignorant. We have letters and digraphs that sound the same (e.g. ch and h or u and ó). We also have the tendency to soften some sounds: przy- is read the same by most people as pszy-, as was said in this video, "w" can be softened to "f". Etc. But our vowels don't change. And if you learn the language you will know how to read a word. But not all letters have only one pronunciation. What is before and after the letters tells you how to pronounce them.

12:28 Actually, when we see "spelling contests" in American movies, their Polish translations don't make sense or make it sound like the contestants are preschoolers who don't know how to write yet. Because as explained, each letter in Polish language has only a single spelling. So aside from u=ó, ch=h, and ż=rz (two kinds of letters with exactly the same spelling), you always know how to spell a word that you hear being pronounced. I'm actually using this to easier remember the spelling of English words. I just pronounce them in my head as if they were Polish words so I know exactly how they're spelled. This is way faster and easier than spelling them letter by letter.

[@Lola_in_the_Black]

I love the video you reacted to :D I think the main issue is that everything was packed in a short video and he was going pretty fast, not giving you a chance to absorb and repeat several times. It's a reaction video so of course you wouldn't keep rewinding but I think it gets easier when people who try to learn from it rewatch tiny bits about specific sounds and repeat. Overall you weren't too far off and sometimes you even nailed the words and considering that you aren't used to pronouncing our sounds that's really good - it takes some time to find the place where sounds are pronounced, I had to go through that with every new language I learnt. If you want to learn Polish pronunciation don't be too hard on yourself, most of us realise it's not easy :) (and I think the guy in the video mostly wanted to show it's not some black magic and sounds are predictable once you learn each one of them, they won't suddenly change :) )

[@vubevube]

I think you shouldn't worry about reading and grammar for now. You should learn from listening because you are good at repeating what you've heard. Same way i learned basic english as a child. No grammar, just watching cartoon network which was only in english at the time.

A little correction; while Ę is indeed a nasal E, Ą is NOT a nasal A but a nasal O (it used to be a nasal A but the sound shifted while the letter did not) so it's not exactly the Afrikaans 'hurt' sound 😉

Two notes. 1. This video will be much clearer and easier to pronounce these sounds when you reduce the speed by 25% 2. Reading Polish words becomes easy when you master reading Polish characters/letters. Just master the 32 characters and their corresponding sounds and you will read Polish subtitles flawlessly. 32 characters ! Pronunciation of English words is much more complicated. See for yourself - an American woman completely unfamiliar with the Polish language learns to pronounce Polish words /film FINE, I'll learn Polish from the channel Emma Witter/. Great video, with a great sense of humor, which is a pleasure to watch /channel 40 thousand subscribers, and more than 1.5 million views/. I recommend

[@SiempreConTrasto]

1. Poles almost never spell. Since every letter has its own sound that never changes there is no need to spell. 2. For Poles letters changing their sounds is a ridiculous idea. I read some time ago, that this is because the invention of printing press took a snapshot of written English while ongoing transition from old English to new English. This written English is a mix. But you pronounce all words newer way. So there is an interesting story behind this topic. 3. He pronounces every letter as the child would do it. For foreigners like you it would be better to say syllables. They resembles the sound in whole word better than separate letters. 4. I'll destroy his construction. Polish letters do change their sounds. It is called devoicing, but he lacks the theoretical knowledge to explain that. I really appreciate your trials😁

[@Filczek]

There's a lot of spelling lessons in polish schools, but it's mostly about u/ó, ch/h, ż/rz, because they make the same sounds and you just write words as you hear them

[@ImVeryOriginal]

@@Filczek Poles always forget about devoicing for some reason. Is it "przenica" or "pszenica"? "Kubki" or "kupki"? If you can see it typed out, you know exactly how to read it, but hearing the word doesn't always tell you how to spell it - the consistency only works one way.

[@MrRossoMoto]

@@Filczek spelling words with u/ó, ch/h, ż/rz and writing a dictation test (dyktando) is a great way to learn and test if you learned which variant is in which word. That's why these let's call them tests exist

[@arekrob]

Of course there is. It's called "dyktando" - ortogrtaphy test. We have them in school.

[@kikixchannel]

@@arekrob While yes, there are some instances where the word correctly spoken is different (jabłko is the best example), in most cases that you can bring (like pszenica), the need for dyktando comes from the tendency of humans to modify the sounds based on their own accent, ease etc. VAST majority of these words spoken exactly as written is correct (in general, both versions are utilized in fact), but they are...again, out of convenience or due to individual traits of the speaker, spoken with slight variation. That's mainly because 'sz' and 'rz' are similar phonetically, but the slight difference makes one or the other easier to speak in a given word for a given person. I can say that I have heard 'pszenica' spoken both as 'przenica' and 'pszenica'. Likewise 'przystań'. Heck, I'm pretty sure that I myself had spoken 'przystań' in both versions, depending even on how tired I am. The main reason for dyktando's has nothing to do with phonetics though. It's done because of h/ch, u/ó, ż/rz, ś/si, ź/zi, ń/ni and ć/ci. Those are basically the same sounds (yes, I know that you can hear the soft 'i' with ci/si/zi/ni, which is wonderfully presented by maść/maści, but for young children that only shape their sensitivity, those are identical), so when a child hears "Góra nie przychodzi do górala, a zboże do rolnika." they may write it as anything between that and "gura nie pszyhodzi do gurala, a zborze do rolńika.".

there is no spelling bee in Polish, there is a Spelling Written test, called “Dyktando” and it’s normal exercise for any grade in grade school, “dyktando” from the word “dictate”, a teacher dictates a sentence, aloud and clear and a student writes it down, and depending on the grade it starts with simple words, simple phrases, and in older grades you write down full paragraphs as they are dictated by the teacher, some teachers will pull up a song and the student needs to listen and write down the lyrics, and it’s just teaching kids how to focus and listen and understand what they’re saying, all to practice new words, and fix spelling errors, and we don’t do this as an “award” sort of contest, it’s just practice of writing words, and more practice fixes spelling mistakes, so when we learn that Americans have contests in “spelling”, we roll our eyes that they made a competition in a basic skill of spelling words, you know, what the whole world does as a normal part of human vocabulary skill, they managed in making that into a competitive sport😂

Actually, i started learning english seriously two years ago, before that i could only introduce myself. ( i know i had the langauge for over 10 years, but when i had the exam, i could only understand 2-3words in the entire text! I could only guess because i had lack of vocabulary knowledge compared to others) I thought i had absolutely no talent for English, I was said to be a horrible person at memorizing words, i learned 20 English words, and then i forgot about it. I didnt even know the tenses.) I started learning the language by immersion 2 years ago , I have been doing it by listening to the langauge several hours a day, occasionaly translating unknown words (everything in English and that allowed me to slowly increase my comprehension, and i understand almost everything now, the only things i dont understand are specific words , like "wardrobe", "chimney", "lawn" (i learned them by accident yesterday)) Of course my pronuncation and speaking could be better but if i had had a partner to speak, i would be better at doing so. I didnt have to tediously learn grammar rules, i didnt have to deliberately memorize words. I listened to the langauge to get used to English langauge . I check grammar rules occasionaly, it doesnt matter if i remember them or not. I check them out for several minutes and come back to listening and reading. Several weeks later i check them again and it also doesnt matter if i remember them or not, it is the same rule for words. What really matter is the Time we spend with the langauge, if we enjoy this journey we eventually learn more than we expected. We listen to the langauge, we enjoy - - - >we learn words - - - >we forget words - - - - >at the end of the day we know more than before Even if i am the person who sometimes doesnt remember what i ate two days earlier i can learn. Our brain is more capable of remembering than we think. If you are able to start listening to the langauge and don't stop it , you will learn. At the beginning it is hard, because the level of comprehension is low, but it pays off. I dont have to force myself to learn English anymore, it is enjoyable now, but for the first few months it required patience If i could start learning English again i would know it is easier than i thought, i consider learning the third language now even if Just few years ago i hated learning languages. Even an hour a day is a lot (i know it sometimes is hard to find Time , but if you do it for 15 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes during some chores, it slowly becomes an hour)

Purpose of this wideo is to tell you that you have already spoken similar letters . For example s and z make sz that sound like English Sh. Work shake is in polish szejk

I am a Polish and I live in Poland but my Polish friend in Scotland always after few shots speak to his Scottish friends in a pub : " I speak Polish what is your super power ? "

Simply start by carefully learning the pronunciation of the Polish alphabet. Then you will be able to read everything. And then just speed up your reading and pronunciation, which is exactly what is shown in this video. Polish is a logical language.

I have met a lot of polish people fluently speaking English, but i have not ever met a foreigner fluently speaking Polish. (period)

[@dv8ug]

Years ago I meet the attaché of Spain Embassy in Poland who was speaking better polish than many Poles. Clear, with good accent. Native level.

[@ostost81]

in Poland spelling bees are not so popular because its just quite easy. In Polish when you talk you have to pronounce each letter (unlike English) and each letter has usually just one fixed sound so you dont really need to memorize how something is spelled.

Języki mówione cały czas ewoluują, zapis polskiego zmieniał się na przestrzeni lat /wieków. W Polsce jest "Rada Języka Polskiego" która się tym zajmuje, mam wrażenie że zapis języka angielskiego zatrzymał się dawno podczas gdy mówiony się zmienił

dont give up guys, we Poles like when someone try to say something in Polish even if you didnt to it well. We are proud if someone try its a simple respect. We are gratefull. btw that guy explain polish in the way that even i understand🤣( iam Polish but i didnt think about my languege from foreigner perspective, you know )

[@tovboker3720]

Oh my God! I've been speaking Polish since I was a child, but today my brain temperature has risen😅

[@marcinborkowicz2557]

Guys, I believe, that for each language (as a foreigner) you need to find a key method how to learn it effectively. For the instance, if you start learning Finnish words look like a crazy mess of letters at the first glance (more complex than in Polish). After some time you realize, there is many combined words, suffixes, postpositions which are the basic building blocks of the Suomen sanakirja😉 In this very moment I've realized it makes perfect sense and it's not a mess anymore.

[@x_cichy_x]

12:20 Yeaaa, spelling is actually easy in Polish, because as the guy in video say, each letter has its own ONE form. There aren't mutant letters that can sound like diffrent letters like "F*oo*d" it doesn't sound like "O". (Well, there are rare exceptions in Polish, but they are so few that they can be learned like "w" and "f" they sound quite similar) So when you say each letter of word in polish it sounds exactly like that word but it just sounds like you say it much slower.

[@blueskysea450]

Don't be discouraged. You have time! You are young. With good winds, it takes only 16 years to master the proper use of the Polish language. Have faith!

[@paxvera5199]

I just love you videos keep coming back to Poland. Please.!!!!!!!

[@lkasperski56]

I remember learning polish reading and writing in weekend heritage schools living in Canada as an immigrant.. And I remember it was very very difficult!!! Even tho I spoke Polish fluently from the cradle lols.. congrats for trying and it is consistent so just learn the letter combos.. u can’t get around the alfabet.. must be memorized and practiced.. ❤

[@Bzhydack]

You actually have right about Polish sounding like French. There are only 3 european languages that still have nasal vowels, and these are Polish, French and Portugal. Additionaly, Polish has a lot of words borrowed from both French and Latin. BTW, English has even more borrowed fron French.

[@LingwistycznyPunktWidzenia]

English also has nasal vowels.

[@markil21]

u got right about that connection letters like sz or cz , we see them both together instantly ( im from poland) ,

[@ForgothFootman]

How do you get the "ż" sound from rz? That's because of declinations - words which use the "ż" sound decline to "r" sound and vice versa. And ""z" is used as a letter signaling digraphs in Polish. For egxample: noun: Morze - Sea adjective: Morski - Marine

[@daven4297]

In Polish, there is no problem with spelling words, because when you pronounce any word, you pronounce the individual letters from the first to the last. Just like that. That is why you do not have to ask how a given word is spelled, because you already know it from its pronunciation. The few exceptions in spelling include rz=ż or u=ó or ch=h, which are pronounced the same, but in a word only one version of them is correct. And you learn this from the general rules when we write any of them. P.S. This sentence means "everyone generously strokes the abstinent bees" more or less :) Regards :)

Sometimes letter in polish world would sound different. It is due to two proceses: "udźwięcznienia" (it is adding the sound and making the letter more pronounced as you say it ) or second one "ubezdźwięcznienie" (it is the opposit proces, when the "hard" sounds are lose in speaking)- that is why in "wszyscy" "w" sounds more like "f"

[@leii1306]

As far as I remember (maybe now it's different) in Poland we have something like "spelling lessons", but in preschool :) Children in preschool are fully able to spell majority of words, it's that easy. I've watched a few reactions ot this video, and the biggest problem for English speakers it how to make those sounds. I think it requires practice, and after a few rewatchings it would be mach easier.

[@KNURKonesur]

What you as native speakers of English will initially struggle with is a different set of letters, but as the video underlines several times - once you've learned those, there are barely any exceptions. On the other hand imagine people learning English and words like Scarborough (Skarbra), Leicester (Lester), Llandudno (Hlandidno), Finzean (Finyan), Strachan (Straan), Islay (Eye-lah), Frome (Froom), Beaulieu (Byooly), Rampisham (Ransom), Quernmore (Kwama), and that's only some examples from the UK, not even Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand or ZA... Which brings another issue with English - not only is there no real rules for spelling or pronunciation in English-English (ahh the great vowel shift, Roman legacy names, Celtic legacy names, Nordic legacy names, Saxon legacy names), each consecutive variant of English has it's own differences, then accents, then dialects (a dozen in England, a dozen in Scotland alone), which you point out with the word STOP. How is someone who never learned English supposed to understand that? :D You yourself don't even say the word HUMOUR, you say YOOMER. You say CAN'T (kont), someone from England would say (kaant), and an American might say (kyent)... why does the same word sound completely different in the same language? :D Wouldn't happen with any dialect of Polish :P Polish isn't really difficult, it's just a matter of different spelling and pronunciation than English, imagine languages that have no tenses, no numerals, or are completely conceptual (XiaomaNYC did a great video about those some years ago, highly recommended!). The actually difficult part of Polish is cases, declination, conjugation. 11:59 "I just don't know how you put R and Z together and get RZ" - history my friend, it started as an R in the middle ages with early Polish, and then for a 1000 years drifted closer to Ż in the way it sounds, but the legacy spelling was kept. Ó started as an O, went through a phase of being OU and now sounds like U, but it kept a different spelling for historic reasons. 19:22 - the historical difference between CH and H in Polish was that one was voiced, one was voiceless, just like the relationship between B/P, T/D and K/G. And just for funsies - there actually are words in Polish that are clusters of consonants, PSTRYK (snap, like snapping your fingers) has 4 actual consonants next to each other and BEZWZGLĘDNY (ruthless) has, unfortunatly, 5 and sounds as stupid as it looks. It's just because the prefix BEZ means without, WZGLĘDNY means relative, so someone with no relativity for your feelings = ruthless, but what the fuck is a RUTH whose absence makes it ruth-less? ;) Technically there's also the word KONTRPRZYKŁAD, which technically has 6 consonants in a row, but as you've learned from the video RZ is one sound, so it kinda doesn't count. Also there's at least one word that consists only of those exceptions, ŻÓŁĆ (bile, or yellow but only in the context of a pigment), that can be a base for a very fun to read word ZŻÓŁKŁY (to describe any masculine noun that's turned yellow).

[@kamils5791]

So, my judgment is - a great video. It’s really nice that you’re trying to understand the difficulty of reading the same sets of letters in English - for native English speakers, this isn’t obvious. At the same time, you see that Polish has at least this one simple thing - a letter or a set of letters always (98% of the time) sounds the same. However, apart from that, the Polish language is very difficult, and as Poles, we are fully aware of this because we ourselves spend years learning it, and most people don’t enjoy this subject in school. The grammar is especially challenging. This wasn’t shown in the video, but nouns in Polish decline based on "cases" (there are seven of them). In English, nouns only change based on number: singular or plural. In Polish, however, we have different forms depending on the case (e.g., "dom" = house): - *Dom* jest duży. (The house is big.) - Nie ma *domu*. (There is no house.) - Przyglądam się *domowi*. (I am looking at the house.) Similarly, we have inflections for adjectives, verbs, numerals, etc. This demonstrates why Polish is so difficult. On top of that, we have multiple levels of diminutives (and augmentatives), for example: "kot" (cat) - kotek, kociak, koteczek, kocurek, kocureczek, kotulek, kociunio, kociątko, kotusia, kotunia, kociunia, koteczunia - and these are just the diminutives, not even all of them. This makes Polish a very rich language... and a very difficult one. We’re well aware of this. P.S. I can’t resist adding a personal comment. This is my first time watching you, and I must say you look absolutely adorable and lovely together!

[@kapitanXbomber1989]

It is unimaginable for English native speakers to have to learn another language.

[@Beata19WF]

It’s awesome that you want to try . Bravo!

[@paoloby3869]

A lot of fun watching it. Greetings from Poland 😂.

[@piast99]

Hey, nice video. Yes, the Polish pronunciation is very simple in terms of the rules but the sounds may be difficult to untrained person. Actually we had visitors from Turkey recently and the conversation started from our names which they did not understand how the sound correlates with the written version. But after explaining all that stuff with "sz", "cz" and so on, and several letters that sound different in Turkish and Polish they were able to read Polish text reasonably well so if they read that to someone in Poland they'd be understood.

[@pluki1357]

16:15 You see? That's just what the guy has told you a few minutes ago: "A" is sound "a", "ł" = English "w" sound. You add them togheter - and now you know how to say "Ał"! in Polish. It's the word/sound for "ouch!" ;) [or possible variant: "ałć!" - for a smaller pain ;) ]

[@MarJin727]

everyone in the world should speak Polish, maybe someone will say it's absurd, but if they learned Polish, they would change their mind and say that it is the easiest language to communicate.

[@OneWingedd]

polecam wymówienie takiego klasyka: chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie, w Szczebrzeszynie 😊 Love you both:)

[@Dukstless]

One of the weirder things about Polish is that it barely has any dialects. The closest to that are two sub-languages which some may consider dialects, but outside of that, we share most of the vocabulary with each other, with only some regional words here and there (most notably, depending on who you ask, 'pantofel' is either a slipper, or that fancy shoe Cinderella had)

[@robertab929]

Polish is using spelling similar to spelling in Latin and many other languages. Actually, *English and French spellings are different* than in other Indo-European languages.

[@iwona4685]

This video is very good but it packs so much information it can be super overwhelming and possibly even discouraging for someone new to this. I wouldn't stress about it if you want to learn anything in Polish and I would take one little fragment at the time. Once you learn each part in your own pace it will add up and you can become somewhat fluent. At least that's my theory... There are a lot of rules of grammar and orthography, you have to learn them and there is no way around it. It is my native language and I always found it very easy. Only when I started learning other languages I realized how difficult and complex it is for someone who may want to learn it later in life. We learn all the vocabulary and sounds (they do make sense if you don't let yourself get overwhelmed and learn a few rules) early on like anyone in any language so the grammar and orthographic rules later on are not as overwhelming. I think that's it, you cannot let yourself get overwhelmed by the number of rules and take it as slow as you have to.
