Learnign Polish...any tips!?

The nominative, found as the dictionary form is the first, and often only one you find.
The plural of this and of the genitive, used in counting is fairly easy to come by.
The vocative (said to be slowly disappearing) is a good one to work on if, like me, you have someone around you can call various (often unpleasant) names without them minding.

Beyond that, working through the language case-by-case, gender-by-gender, tense-by-tense is the way I'm trying to do things.
This all falls down because to engage in conversation, you'll need just about all of these cases, tenses and so on. And a shedload more.


They won't know how bad you are. They might even think you're really good.

getting people interested, especially children, to learn any language is a good thing. My mother and grandmother used to speak in pig-latin in front of the kids as a way to keep secrets and so it has been passed down the line of family members. Unfortunately for me my oldest son caught on to pig-latin at the age of 2. He could understand it but not speak it and asked for tips to help become more fluent. I told him to read his books out loud in pig-latin as a way to practice. Because he and I spoke it all the time in front of his friends it made them all want to learn. So he has taught all his friends to speak it and now that they speak it at school, more and more kids ask him to teach them. I think if it can work for pig-latin it can work for any language. And any desire to learn something new, is usually a good thing.

Guys always one thing.
