Language / The only polish word a foreigner won't ever say correctly :P [113]

I am not sure, but isn't it the problem with just 'c'. 'h' is nothing extraordinary in English, but 'c' is not present in it. It is usually simulated by 'ts', but it is not the same thing. When you master saying just polish 'c' all the rest is straightforward. Am I right?

Language / The only polish word a foreigner won't ever say correctly :P [113]

teacher said that the biggest problem for him is to say correctly (and understand the difference) between: kasza, kasia and kasa.

I've noticed that English speaking persons have difficulties with hearing the difference between 'wiesz' and 'wieś'. Maybe comparing them with 'ż' and 'ź' as their voiced counterparts would help to hear that.

Life / Must See Movies in Polish? [65]

Speaking of Killer, Seksmisja - I am surprised that nobody mentioned both Va Bank movies (I and II) by Machulski. I'd compare them to The Sting.
