This is the first lesson of my Polish language course for beginners. It contains the Polish alphabet together with pronunciation and the short information on the accent. I also provide some examples to practice the pronunciation.
Preparing the video I was using the book "Hurra! Po polsku 1" (authors Małgorzata Małolepsza, Aneta Szymkiewicz).
English subtitles available (the fourth icon on the right on the bottom of the video).

I see there are a lot of us next-generation Polish folks whose families spoke Polish, yet never taught it to us. My grandma spoke it when she didn't want us kids knowing what she was saying ... but not enough for any of us to pick up on it! I started learning Polish because it's a huge part of my heritage. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks Kimberly. Good luck with learning Polish :)
exactly! i wish my family taught me how to speak polish, now im trying to learn it on my own! haha
Same here! I'm currently going through the process of obtaining citizenship by descent. My grandparents were native and my mother spoke it as a child, but neither ever taught me. Hope your learning is going well!
Nothing is too hard for those with desire
Ja jestem z polski tego się uczy od 1 klasy
"Dla chcącego nic trudnego"
That is simply not true
Tak... Dziedobry...

I'm Czech and I learn Polish as a hobby, because I noticed, that some films and series are translated into Polish earlier than into Czech. So I tried to watch a few of my favorite series in Polish. It sounded funny at first, but I got used to it, and now I understand it pretty well.
+Happy Ghost It's funny how to Polish people it's Czech language that sounds funny (like baby talk xD) :D Good luck on learning!
Do you even need to learn at all?
But I thought the Czechs invaded Poland...
i heard someone say that czech is like polish with the grammar fixed.
I believe most slavics understand each other to a point.
Finally, a well constructed introduction that's not overwhelming yet not too boring. Great job :)
All a language learner needs, is a smiley face while observing lips and picking up sounds. Well done, Aneta! Dziękuję!!
And then you can study her lips close up
I grew up speaking Polish, when I began school I started speaking English. I can easily understand any Polish I hear, I want to be able to read and write in Polish better so that I can become more fluent!
Polish background but relatives years ago refused to teach polish! Thank you for any help!
I like your style. No annoying music. It is all about serious learning.
I watched your first three videos and will get pen and paper ready to work through them all. Thank you very much.
I am Brazilian and my girlfriend is polish. I can't wait to be able to exchange a couple of sentences with her family ( specially with Mamusia ) thanks for uploading these fantastic videos..... extremely helpful and easy to understand. thank you very much!!!!
sama nie wiem po co to oglądam 😂 ale miło z drugiej strony że robi Pani takie odcinki dla tych którzy nie umieją mówić po polsku 😊
Oh my god, I've just started learning Polish like a week ago, and I already understand what you're saying!)) (I am Ukrainian). That's just amazing. Half the words I wouldn't know what they meant I've already learned, and the other half is just so similar to Ukrainian.
@@alyonaf1054 oh that's great :) i bet it feels awesome to finally understand a language you're learning, trzymaj tak dalej!
@@beetlejuiceisreal238 Dziękuję, greetings and best wishes to you, too, from Kyiv!
The faces I make when I try to produce these sounds, cannot be as bad as the ones I make when I pronounce French! THANK YOU!
You're welcome :)
I know this video is 7yrs old but thank you for this. My dad was Polish and he came to the U.S. when he was 8 with my grandparents... he passed away when I was 10yrs old. I regret not being interested in learning Polish when I was little... my mom is Mexican so I grew up in Mexico and my 1st language was Spanish and then English. I only learned 'Good Night' in Polish as my dad always said that to me when I was ready for bed so I retained that for all these years. Now, I want to learn Polish and this made it easier to start. Some of the vowels and consonants are a bit similar to Spanish. One day, I want to travel to Poland and know words and phrases. I have 2 sons too and my youngest (he's 17) he is soo interested in learning Polish because he has some Polish blood in him. I am just happy I found this channel to start. Thank you.
Hi Perseus, you're very welcome! That's a great reason to learn Polish, I hope my videos will be helpful!
This makes speaking do much easier for me! You have a wonderful way of explaining things. :)
Thank you so much, Abby!
I'm from India
thank you mam for supporting us to how to speak polish language
I really appreciate your work
I am Bangladeshi I see your videos, Your talking style is very good I understand your talking I inspire your videos and already begin to learn polish Thanks for your videos
There is really no such thing as "Polish in 3 minutes" as represented by another series of Polish lessons provider. I personally found your lessons approach much more helpful to beginning learners. You are more structural in that you begin with Polish alphabets and that helps tremendously for an English speaker to conceptually *transition* into the Polish or Slavic linguistic mode. Your pronunciations are also *slower* to allow students to emulate you in as correctly pronouncing Polska alphabets as possible. I can't imagine learning another Indo-European language of which Polish is one without first learning the alphabets, the vowels and the consonants, as well as the general rules governing their intonations. Because you take the time to teach it right, your lessons are very effective and the clarity of your lectures really stands out. Thank you! Although some other series are also well intended I am sure some other learners may find them more suitable to their language acquisition endeavor but as for my part, I am going to stick with your series.

Thank you very much!
Finally! A video which starts with the vowels and doesn't leave me guessing on how many of those nasal vowels there are, AND that they are really are nasal and I wasn't imagining it!! XD Thank you!!!
Thanks Bob!
Really nice. I have been too Kraków. Very nice city. Nice people. Even the beggars super polite.
Did they ask you (like my mum) to throw her ring behind her to be granted a wish? (which she didn't throw - she is smart lol)
@@parrotyee Must have been gypsies then.
Thank you very much. This language is super easy for me. Thats because I am Polish.
Hi,
Thank you for your guide. I would be glad to learn with your help.
You're welcome :-)
Thank you for your reply. Well, I find it hard to pronounce many words at this stage. I can also say Polish pronunciation is more difficult than the Russian:).
I speak Polish pretty fluently (i am of polish descent and my parents are both polish) but reading and writing has always been much harder. This helped me combine them and I'm getting better at readying polish words.
Also, (I'm not sure why) I pronounce prąd more like prod (english sounding 'oh' sound) and the 'ę' sound more as a 'eh' sound. Maybe it's the area of Poland where me and my family are from and we have a slightly different accent.
That could be! I'm happy to hear the video helped you!
I live in Germany
here alot of Polish people working
and I like to learn Polish Language
I’m learning Polish because my girlfriend is from Poland. She found this for me and after ignoring for awhile I finally watched. Wish I would have watched sooner because the explanation is really easy to understand!
Duolingo DOES NOT explain these vital components for learning Polish language at all.
Thank you hope to see you upload more!
Thanks Joseluis, I'm happy the video was helpful!
I have a feeling I'm going to learn quite a bit from this talented and intelligent young lady.
Aneta, you are a wonderful teacher. I know some Polish from my childhood but learned it phonetically. Unlike other videos I explored, you combine the visual with the pronunciation, making it very clear. I expect that I will comment in perfect Polish when I finish your course. Thank you so much for making these videos! Dzien kuye!
+Penzy241 Thank you very much Penzy, that's a great motivation for me!
This is exactly what I was looking for ☺️ Dziękuję Ci
Proszę :)
Thanks for your initiative and videos, I'll keep watching!
I like your accent
Truth Seeker that's a polish accent

I'm from Brazil Polish is amazing Thanks Teacher :)
As vogais parecem mt com os sons do português brasileiro lol
Thank you for making easy to pronounce the alphabet in polish 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
You're welcome :)
You Do Great I will learn Polish with your help thanks my Father was polish navy officer but did not teach us polish.
Great Job Aneta ! Very helpful and Polish made really easy :)
please do a video on pronunciation of Poland's cities and place names in general.
Some sounds as 'own' is 'on' in French nearly closed. I live in Australia now but my parents had a Polish background. I just want to broaden my vocabulary by reading but I can't, just speak a little bit and listen Polish news sometimes but so hard for me. Hope one day to visit my father's homeland Poland before I die(66 grew up in Belgium) Merci beaucoup/ thank you very much Aneta.
I am currently paying an instructor or otherwise a polish native born pole from Poland who is teaching me. I would recommend this teacher as well as she is as good as my teacher with pronunciation of the letters. She is very good at taking the time to make sure you are saying the sound correctly. Don't be upset if you don't pick up on it right away, everything takes time and patience.
I agree - everything takes time and patience!
I am a new masters student in Warsaw university of Technology. Am from Nigeria. I have decided to take Polish language very serious because i love it and it sounds fun.
Great to hear Nliam, wishing you all the best with learning Polish!
Hi,
I hope my comment will only help :)
Nasal vowels are pronounced differently whether they are isolated or in a specific consonantal context.
We pronounce with nasality when isolated, before fricatives or in the final position of a word
BUT
when before certain consonants nasality of appears in an additional consonant sound
e.g. before = /om/
= /bombel/
= /zomp/
= /kompiel/
before = /on/
= /sont/
= /montfa/
...and so on, and so on ... I haven't even started
It is simply against the basic diction rules to pronounce it in a different way
I recommend some consultations or a deeper dig into the subject :)
cheers
malgosn Hello Malgosn, on my behalf and on a behalf of foreigners learning Polish I want to thank you for your comment! Great deal of useful information, absolutely worth to have it written down. Pozdrawiam serdecznie!
+malgosn Ok but is'a not always true, it's depend on region of Poland.
I live in Kraków and I will never say /montfa/ NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always say MĄTWA, ALWAYS SĄD NOT /SONT/. This is very controversial. Maybe in Warsaw they say in this way. So I think the lesson is very good and leads in proper way. Cheers.
teaching the language is always about the standard pronunciation in the first place, not regional.
e.g. RP for British English, bokmål.for Norwegian etc.
;)
+malgosn Standard pronunciation should prefer beauty of language. Langage is living.
MĄTWA - is like fresh seefood
MONTFA - is like old food from open tin
Look into a mirror and repeat MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA MĄTFA, MONTFA, MĄTWA MONTFA
:)
malgosn In Czech wikipedia we have the consonants described with hard endings (pronounced as nasal "o" with: n before k,t,d.. m before b,p,... ń before ć/dź... just then remind yourself it's pronounced nasally :)
ciekawie wytłumaczone :)
thank you for these!
I really love your teaching vids! its very easy to understand, dziękuję!
thanks for this lesson so i will take all step by step
Dziekuje bardzo!
I can easily learn Polish Language With the help of your videos. Thanks
You're welcome :-)
Hi Aneta, thanks for this video
Thanks for this useful lesson. I'm going to listen to it a few times and and will go to the next. Valérie from France
Hi and Thanks for lesson
Nice way of teaching
My son is using your videos to learn Polish. He is in 7th grade and unschooled.
Erica, that's so lovely to hear! I hope he likes the videos!
I love your style of teaching! Thank you so much Aneta, this was a great video. Like many of the other comments, I too am here trying to learn the language of my grandma. Dziękuję!!
Thank you :)
Terrific video. Thank you.
I'm Czech living on polish border but their language is really easy for me because czezh before simplification looked like this
Thank you so much for this video! Still trying to master the sounds but this video is so helpful :)
Cool. You explain it step by step in a very intelligible way.
I had a paper and a pen out while watching the video taking notes
Gamerman54 same lol
I'm telling your mum you're doing good revision
Studious!
I think the pronouciation is pretty difficult for Asians~
But this video is still great for learning Polish!!
+陳若渝 it is not so difficult. every day I meet with people from China, Vietnam and noticed that these people speak more clearly Polish words and their syntax is at a decent level compared with people whose first language is English. As far as the accent is already a barrier impassable, But to understand is not needed. Greetings from Poland.
good luck with learning:)
No.. No... she is right very difficult to catch the sound, so many words are silent in speaking but do exist in the words, if are they silent in speak then what is the need to put in the words, thank god! english do exist in the word, at least one language which get us connected to each other.........
Eyy thank you so much ! I bought the book "teaching yourself polish" and with your help i can stay motivated to learn this beautiful and hard language ! congratulations on the chanel
