Where did you start or the best techniques for learning Polish. [85]
Again, while there are tricky points about every language, I feel though it might be a mistake to "not think about" numbers in Polish, for example, doggone difficult as indeed they are!
Perhaps both a question of maturity of study as well as the learner's background, but had I decided early on not to worry about counting, I'd have had a heck of a time picking it up later on. I speak for myself here.
It's sort of like excerise. Sure, sit-ups especially can be tough as hell to do properly in the beginning, merely putting off doing them, preferring "easier" calisthenics such as running in place, knee-bends etc. merely delays the learning process and makes it that much harder to pick up years later:-)
The "fun" part of Polish is watching people's jaws drop when they finally hear or see you express yourself fluently, naturally, and correctly in the language. However, as with dessert, without the substantials from the start which are far less fun, the exhileration of victory won't feel as though you've achieved as much if there's little sweat to show for it.
Merely a few subsequent thoughts.
