As a Polish person I had a blast watching this, I literally never see people learning Polish and it’s so interesting to see a different perspective on the language

Americans speaking Polish sound cute, the way they pronounce zis and cis makes their accent so soft and adorable

learning for adults takes around 5 years to know the vocabulary and to speak properly
even then, most people give up half way because of the special letters, connected letters (example: ch, sz, cz, dz)
i've been raised in ireland with polish parents and from a young age i learned both languages and im surprisingly good with both, very proud of you for learning our language

Your pronouncing is naturally good, better then most people starting learning polish.

[Vaarjat]

What's so weird about "rz" being softened to "sz" in "przepraszam"? It's nothing compared to what happens to "c" in "Pacific Ocean". 😂😅

[bartopl]

No worries, people in Poland speaks that language whole life still making mistakes :D

Some tips of pronounciation:
"Ch" is the same sound as "h"
"Rz" is the same sound as "ż"
"Ó" is the same sound as "u"
Also when the "Rz" is after some consonants (p b t d k g ch j w) it changes into "sz" sound - as far as I know because it became like that cause it's easier to pronounce it softly.
You may ask why we have 2 different forms for the same sounds: basically in the past they sounded differently, but with time the difference dissapeared. They still have some meaning in a way, because the sounds of them change in different ways while declinating. Rz can go to r, ó to o and so on. Probably the only way to remember how a word is pronounced is to learn it by heart, but don't worry too much primary school students od tej have problems with writing properly when it comes to them and hate those haha

Uwielbiam oglądać obcokrajowców jak próbują nauczyć się polskiego 😂 Idzie ci na prawdę świetnie. Podziwiam takich ludzi, bo nasz język jest na prawdę trudny.

[jetlime]

Being polish and watching it is the funniest shit ever.

[Moj_Nick_YT]

WoW! Gratulacje! Świetnie Ci idzie ! Tak trzymaj!

Your pronounciation is extremely good for a beginner who speaks originally English. I heard many Americans trying to speak Polish and your pronounciation is significantly above the average, very natural for Polish ears. Good that you carefully pronounce both consants and vowels and try to pronounce each single sound. Americans tend to focus on vowels and skip some sounds - I guess that works well in English, but not so much in Polish/Slavic languages.
Good luck with your study!

To be fair most people in Poland would be incredibly happy to hear that you're even trying to understand our language. It is hard. Sometimes it's too hard for polish people ^^ I was pretty impressed how quickly you learned some things!

[BoTy]

Just remember that Polish people know that our language is very hard so we appreciate every little bit of effort you make to learn it 😉 You're doing great! 💪
