    Świetny materiał, szukałam czegoś, co ma od razu wytłumaczone ubezdźwięcznienia. Uczniowie często nadaremnie próbują wymawiać głoski dźwięczne w miejscach, gdzie po prostu nie da się ich wymówić. Zasada jest bardzo prosta, dlatego uważam, że jak najbardziej umieszczenie jej w filmiku to super wybór. Fajnie byłoby też wspomnieć, że "ą" to nosowe "o", bo uczniom kojarzy się zawsze z literą "a". Wielkie dzięki!

    The first thing you should know is that "a" with ogonek is not any more pronounced as nasal "a," but as nasal "o" sound in Polish. Polish o is really "ɔ." And it is pronounced like an "o" sound in the American English pronunciation of "thought" [θɔːt]. Polish "o" is not pronounced like the "o" in the American pronunciation of "pot."

    ą = bon (french) or song (english) ... 'ohn' sound but without pronouncing the n. It is very similar to the French pronunciation. Thought = aw = thaw-t ... a slightly shorter sound than "awn' or "ohn". It is just the 'aw' or 'oh' ound. Pot = o .... even shorter still. It is just the 'o' sound.

    Excellent lesson -- I'm an English student of Russian looking to broaden my knowledge. Also: come back, Cyrillic alphabet, all is forgiven. 🤣 Writing a Slavic language in a Latin alphabet is like the English proverb "don't put a quart into a pint pot" -- which is like "don't put a liter into a half-liter pot".

    Western Slavs went for Latin (as they were tied with western culture), while Eastern and partially Southern Slave went for Cyrillic alphabet (but before they used grazhdanka which was totally different from Cyrillic). It's impossible to write all Polish sounds with Cyrillic (i.e. almost all Slavs languages lost nasal vowels and current version of Cyrillic lack them: there was created a modified Polish Cyrillic, but actually never used). Also is direct representation of Polish digraph "dż" in Cyrillic? "дж" is not the same sound.
