Yay! Our language learning software arrived today. Don has been cruising internet sites that give him snippets of Polish language. My favorite so far is "Mój poduszkowiec jest pelen wegorzy !!!" which means "My hovercraft is full of eels!!!" I sincerely hope we never need that one. (Yuck!) We are both daunted by the series of consonants that seem stuck together in many of these words, but we are not giving up. Buying a vowel is starting to become a constant wish as we try to pronounce the words that are wholly unfamiliar. I know the native English-speakers who we have met that speak Polish to whatever degree all seem to have the same perspective because it is a hard language to learn. Rumor has it that the only language more difficult is Chinese. (If that is true, I do not want to know.) It's definitely going to be an adventure!
WHOO-HOO!!!

I had heard at one point in time that English was actually one of the most difficult languages to learn because we have so many words for the same thing and vice versa. So feel good that you've got this one down!
HA!
I've actually heard that said about Russian, Arabic and Japanese...but in any event, good to be able to tell people about that eel problem!
Cieszę się że uczyicie języka polskiego!! Zapraszamy ponownie do Polska! :)
and for the record- for Native English speakers, Polish is the third hardest language to learn; under Chinese and Russian. Or so "they" say, although I don't know who "they" are... :)
Hmm, here's a great site you can practice your new-found Polish skills on:
