This is a playful book that I have started many times after I studied a little Polish. Originally my thought was that I would send it out to my mixed Polish relatives to have fun talking with each other. But realistically that's probably not going to happen as they are growing old, so it will be more for the kids, grandkids and great grandkids, etc. I also thought it would be a good review and introduction to Polish. All the other languages that I have studied so far, Spanish, French, Italian and German, have a book like this, but not Polish.
Polish is a very nice language because if you learn the pronunciation rules, you can read it with half-way decent pronunciation and by looking at the words' beginnings you can kind of guess what they mean. It's also very interesting because the ends of the words change depending on the part they play in a sentence.
Polish is also a good introduction to the Slavic language family for English speakers as it uses mostly the same letters as English.
So here I go one page a day, Monday to Friday. See you tomorrow.
