Hello, This is my first post on the website. I have a quick question, how do you spell the female name (I’ll sound it out) oolana or ulanna? I’m not even sure if I am pronouncing it correctly. Thank you PS- Polish girls are the most beautiful in the world.

Is this a joke? Ul. Anna :-) Anyway if not, just ask her her name!

When I first heard, in a Polish language course, something like Nazywam się Anna Nowak, I was sure it was Annina or Annyna... For geminate (?) consonant users like Finns or Italians, Polish double consonants are difficult.

Leopejo: For geminate (?) consonant users like Finns or Italians, Polish Italians say the name ANNA in just the same way as Polish. It's not that difficult anyway.

teflhead: Italians say the name ANNA in just the same way as Polish. Well the "Anna Nowak" I heard in one course, and to a lesser extent the "Anna Borowska" I heard in another, are definitely not as in Italian.

ncman: oolana or ulanna Maybe it was Joanna? There's nothing like ulanna in Polish (but 'ulana', which may mean completely drunk ;-) ). Cinek

Hello all, Thank you so much for all of your responses. My question did not have to do with an actual Polish person. It is quite a complicated situation. All of the information you gave me was very helpful. I will get back to you with my results. And by the way, I have been all over Poland and received the warmest treatment by all that I met. You have a beautiful country with a very rich history.

I believe in Poland it's spelled "Ana".
