    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.

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

  • @Skiskiski
    @Skiskiski Před rokem +28

    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

    • @rick_terscale1111
      @rick_terscale1111 Před 5 dny

      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.

    @olatatina9856 Před rokem +1

    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!

    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 🧐❤

    @rick_terscale1111 Před 5 dny

    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.

    Very helpful video with excellent organization -- I was able to jump to exactly the letters I needed to pronounce my team mate's name. Thank you for this class!

    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.
