How to learn Polish pronunciation?

5 tips below

LISTEN CAREFULLY 

 Let your ears and brain  hear and learn Polish rustling sounds.

Give your brain a chance to build new neuronal connections and sounds’ maps:

– listen to the radio, podcasts, songs and – of course – people.

IMITATE LIKE A CHILD

Overdo and exaggerate, make silly faces.

Attention! There is a side effect : no wrinkles guaranteed.

REPEAT HUNDREDS OF TIMES

New or strange sounds connections have to be repeated.

(P – SZ), (F – SZ),  (T – SZ),  (K – SZ) and (F – P – SZ), (F – T – SZ), (F – K – SZ)  groups are very frequent.

Trust me, mastering these sounds really makes sense!

LEARN TO PRONOUNCE difficult, long words

• starting from the end of the word
• dividing it into syllables or even sounds
• adding each time one previous syllable or sound
• repeating again and again

 

ex.: PRZEPRASZAM

– am

 – sz – am,

– a – sz – am,

– r – a – sz – am,

– p – r – a – sz – am,

– e – p – r – a – sz – am,

– sz – e – p – r – a – sz – am,

p – sz – e – p – r – a – sz – a – m
