Hi Blissfl,

I am taking Polish lessons and I will attempt an answer but I am hoping that Krysia or another Polish speaker has a chance to correct me if I'm wrong. Using English as a comparison:

Małgorzata = Mau-go-ja-ta (Mau pronounced like the Mau in Maui)

Małgosia = Mau-go-sha

Thanks!!! I appreciate your help...

I would hate to butcher someone's name... that is never good.

The 'rz' in Małgorzata is pronounced like the 'j' in Jason but without the 'd' sound. More like the French 'j'.

Wroclaw,

Is the Gosh pronounced like gosh or more like gauche?

1) Mauugawzhatta (Here the 'r' is NEVER trilled as itis normally)

2) Mauugawshya (The 's'/'sh' sound is tricky in Polish. It's NOT the 'sh' of English 'shut'; it's almost half way between an 's' and a 'sh'! Make sense??)

Polish sibilants - a pluperfect nightmare-:)
