I must start learning Polish!
After less than a year I'm going to Krakow and it would be really nice if I can understand the language well as well as using it. I think of passing through Assimil's course firstly, although I may attend a crash course here ( in my university) in September.
My first impressions (of previous look-ups and some dialogs I heard from the audio files):
- I don't like the orthography, and probably this has kept me away from that language while I played among the Slavic family.
- From what I heard today I think that it sounds quite cute- especially the soft consonant clusters which i feared that much ^^
- Still haven't looked up the cases, I'll wait until I learn them well for my course of Old Bulgarian.
- Verbs look intriguing
- /added later/ The stress falls almost on the same place as in Bulgarian, which makes me feel somehow uneasy, having got used to the Czech accentuation.
