Hi, Monika. How do Polish children learn to spell and distinguish between the use of dź and ź since they are pronounced the same? Or between dż and ż? Thanks.
Hi. Dź and ź, or dż and ż, are pronounced differently. Check out my videos where I focus on these sounds, you might hear the difference. Children learn to distinguish dż and dź as a pair of letters that produce one sound, not as two separate letters. Similarly as in English "ch" - two letters that produce one sound.

Have a new polish friend, so I'm just trying to learn basic pronunciation to say her name and some other things correctly. Her name is Alicja, so what would be correct pronunciation?
Polish is in 95-99% phonetic. If you know, how to pronounce each vowel, consonant and digraph, you can correctly pronounce any word or letters cluster (even imaginary, random). For exapmple i like ii, c like ts, j+a like ya. But fact: some sounds like ź, dź, ż, dż, ś.. can't be easy compare to English sounds.
I think you'll have a easier time learning german than polish, the sounds are easy to learn and you only need to learn four different letters in german like ä ö ü ß but the rest of the alphabet is the same as english.
I as a German who is learning Polish would advise you to learn German first. German is easier to pronounce than Polish and I think you could learn it faster than Polish. It would also be better because then you can speak two more languages
@@serenity9926 I’m learning German, it’s not that hard, I can speak it well and understand better, I’m enjoying the process. I’m thinking about start Polish.

Z, Ź, Ż are three different letters and sounds. Z is the same sound as in the English "zoo". Ź is a soft sound that is close (but not the same) to the sound in the word "aubergine". Ż is a hard sound close (but not the same) to the sound in the English word "pleasure".

In the Middle ages Polish Cyrillic was developed and many don't know that Polish Cyrillic is similar to Mongolian Cyrillic. Here's an example of Polish Cyrillic: Вшўсцў лудьѣ родщѫ сьѩ волњи и рувњи в своѣй годносьчьи и правах. Сѫ обдажењи рощумем и сумѣњѣм и повинњи постѧповачь вобец сьѣбѣ в духу братерства. Translation: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
"sz" and "ś" aren't pronounced the same. They are different sounds. It may be confusing because they are similliar especially if your language have only one of them. or none. And none of them are English "sh". "sh" is between them. "ż" and "rz" have same sound but they were different sounds in the past. We can't merge them and use just one because of grammar. In conjugation "rz" sometimes becomes r. Polish ortography isn't that hard there are some rules but very often you write words like you hear them. You can be confused if there should be "rz" or "ż" and "ó" or "u" but still you have some rules that help you. There's also devoicing when voiced conosants become devoiced. On the other hand you have English where queue is pronounced "q". Decide what's harder.
In this video I focused on the names of the letters which are often different than the sounds you hear in words. That's why Ć as the name of a letter is "cie" but as a sound it is [ć] similar to [chi]. Same as in English, "C" as a letter is pronounced as [see] but as a sound it can vary and sound as [k] as in cat or [s] as in city.
