Language / Problems Polish People Have with Learning English [63]

Merged: Polish people speaking English - Top five problems

Hello, I am very interested in language and I am doing a foreign language course and I would like to know the most difficult things that Polish have trouble with in pronunciation and grammatics. I am aware that they have problems with verb tenses and they sound like Germans when they talk our language (i.e. quite upfront!). From experience of people on this forum what would you say the top 5 most difficult things are.

Plurals maybe? Do they have countable and uncountable nouns like us?
I do notice there is an absence of articles such as 'a', 'an' and 'the' preceding nouns too.
Any others or help in general would be gratefully received.

thank you very much

Merged: Polish writing 'to' and 'do' mix up?

Hello, one of my Polish students has a problem with writing the words 'to' and 'do' and getting them mixed up when writing English, has anyone else experienced this?
