Polish has been named the most difficult language to learn by so many websites, bloggers and people. Yes, they are a couple of tricky things in Polish, but today let's look at reasons why Polish is not difficult to learn:
1) Word order doesn’t really matter. In English, it does.
Dzisiaj jest ładna pogoda. (Today it's a nice weather).
This sentence you can also say this way:
Ładna pogoda jest dzisiaj.
Jest ładna pogoda dzisiaj. etc.
All these sentences above mean the same and all of them are correct.
2) There are far fewer tenses than in English, French, Spanish etc.
In Polish, there is only one way of building the sentence in the past tense and two ways of building the sentence in the future tense.
For example: 'I have bought', 'I bought', 'I had bought' can all be translated as ' Kupiłem'.
3) We don't use the articles in Polish (the, a, an etc.).
4) Once you master the alphabet (trust me it is not difficult), you can read very easly in Polish. There are no silent letters. Almost all my students can read Polish text after twenty minutes of my explanation and practise.
5) A lot of words has a latin root: informacja, motywacja, inspiracja, komunikacja, edukacja. I don't need to translate these words for you, right?:)
What is more, Poles are usually very encouraging when somebody is attemping to say something in Polish. We never expect a foreigner speaking our language and we are not used to hear foreigners who speak Polish fluenty. That is why we really appreciate every word we hear from you. :)
thank you for your positive post, it was very encouraging
