Language / I need to be encouraged to properly study this beautiful language - Polish [8]
Cześć :)
I'm a new member here, so I'll just say a few words about myself. I love Slavic languages, but the one I love the most is Polish. Reasons? Because I love the way it sounds and the way it's written. How did I find this language and why did I decide to study it? Well, I found it after being interested in other Slavic languages like Russian (I don't speak any Slavic language fluently right now though). I decided to study it because I love languages and because well, I'd love to become fluent in Polish. I'm not ok with just knowing a few things here and there, I actually want to learn it fluently, so I thought this forum might help me with that and with learning other interesting stuff about Poland like its history, its culture and customs, etc. Anything else? Sure, I've been having a crush on a Polish girl for years ;) but she's not the reason why I want to learn this beautiful language. As I said, I love all Slavic languages and Eastern European countries fascinate me (I'm from Western Europe, so hello there, friends from the East!).
Where am I in learning? Well, I'm ok with pronunciation and reading and writing, but grammar and vocabulary? So many things I need to learn!
What worries me the most is grammar, of course. What about it, in particular? Cases. They scare me the most and I find them the hardest part of this language, more difficult than other grammar topics. This is where I need to be encouraged A LOT :) also, tips about the best ways of learning cases and practicing are very welcome!
I'm studying personal pronouns with all their cases now and doing exercises about them. But this is just a tiny part of the language. What I find very very difficult is knowing cases for nouns. Harder than pronouns.
P.S: my username....yes, I chose it after thinking about how brave I am for wanting to learn Polish so badly! Haha!
So....that's it, for now. Looking forward to your replies!
P.S. 2: I know the basics of Slavic languages, similarities and differences, general rules and pronunciation, so it's not like I'm totally new to this world, it's just that I don't speak any Slavic language fluently. I speak 3 languages fluently, just not Slavic ones. Russian is another language I love (and I can read Cyrillic) but for some reason, it doesn't impress me as much as Polish does.
