The good news about Polish is that once you learn how to pronounce the letters, it’s consistent.

The hard part is remembering all the cases that a noun can take.

And verbs can be imperfective or perfective and sometimes the imperfective form looks nothing like the perfective.

After all of these years, I had to look those terms up in the dictionary. We take the mechanics of those elements of speech for granted. People who are new to English do suffer in order play by those rules. Interesting! It explains why Russians do odd things with English from time to time.

Maybe it is time to squeeze my brain with some Polish.
