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
