These are really great, and helpful! Thanks Janusz! :)

I'm curious to know, on the "H" clip, the word for bull is buhaj, but on my Rosetta Stone program, the word is "byk." I like buhaj better, because it sounds like the Filipino "buhay" which is easy to remember, but are both okay, or is one correct? Thanks to anyone who knows.

well dont use buhaj too often:)
buhaj is a male bull who's kept for his reproduction capabilities also people use the term "buhaj" to descrive a horny man.
So you will be better of using "byk" I think.

Thank you for these. I cannot understand Polish when it is spoken, nor can I speak it properly.

If you ever should have time and should wish to do so, could you give some examples of whole sentences which would stress the pronunciation of words which change pronunciation according to the combinations of letters by which they are followed? I probably haven't explained clearly, but I think it is something akin to French elision...though not exactly, probably.

did you watch the lesson units which are in this thread in previous posts ??

if yes and you have still no idea how to pronounce stuff. well I might find some time when Iħm back at home at lets say about 8pm GMT time. so i could give u 5 mins. of my time on skype.

You are very nice.

I can pronouce some Polish but I cannot understand at all =( But I have trouble with wrds like przyjaciolka i pszczola and words in which the consonants become frikative in front of other consonants, etc. Maybe I don't even know what I am talking about. I don't have a good grammar book. I just taught myself with very little...

I might have mispelled frikative but I am too lazy to look it up at the moment, even though I don't like to spell incorrectly.

Sometimes I wish I could write in Polish on here =(

What is Skype?

Cool! I notice the first ones of the Alphabet in the first slide are German. That' part of the Polish alphabet is it?
Thanks for the sounds. Been looking for Alphabet sounds.
The 2 Z's with teh dots or whatever over them, how do you know when to use them?
Thanks.

I can stop holding my breath now.
Welcome back and thanks again.

I notice the L in jablko being pronounced.
I've not heard this before.
Should I learn it this way or take the usual shortcut?

You can say “japko”. When I speak it on normal speed you would probably hear “japko” as well. But when I speak it slowly then I automatically pronounce it right, I guess.
