What I like about Polish is once you do learn the way the vowels and consonants work, it becomes easy to sound out the words. It’s the ‘rz’ combination that tends to throw off most English speakers.

yes :) -- the "rz", "sz" "cz" looks crazy to non-Poles -- "w szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie" -- but Polish is very precise -- "cz" is always pronounced the same way. English is crazy with "bough, cough, tough"
