Language / Issues understanding "to go" verb in Polish language [18]

It sounds like you're using Duolingo to learn Polish, but you're confused about two words, "iść" and another one. Sometimes, Duolingo marks your answers wrong even though it says they mean the same thing. You're wondering when to use them and how to change them.

Learning similar words in a language can be tricky, especially when they seem the same but have small differences. In Polish, "iść" means "to go," while the other one might mean "to walk." They might be used in different situations.

For example, "iść" might be used for going somewhere, while the other one could be for walking on foot. Duolingo might be testing you on when to use each one or how to change them to fit the sentence.

To understand better, you can see how each word is used and read any explanations Duolingo gives. Also, practicing with people who speak Polish or using other learning materials can help.

Learning a language can be hard sometimes, but if you keep trying, you'll get better!

Classifieds / How do you feel about the interslavic language? (For my school project) [10]

@KABAN
Interslavic is like a language bridge for Slavic people. It helps them talk to each other even if they speak different Slavic languages. Some think it's a cool idea that brings Slavic nations closer, while others worry it might affect their own languages. Your school project could explore both sides of the discussion to get a clear picture.

Language / Extremely Hard - Polish the hardest language to learn [226]

Polish can be tough to learn because of its tricky grammar and pronunciation. With seven cases and different genders for words, it can feel overwhelming. But many find its beauty and depth worth the effort. To get good, practice and immersion are key. Your interest and motivation matter a lot too!

Language / I'm native Polish and I hate my own language. [106]

It's tough to hear you dislike your native Polish language. Sometimes, it happens due to personal experiences or frustrations. Remember, language is part of who we are. If you're feeling disconnected, try exploring different aspects of Polish or seek support from language professionals or counselors. It's okay to have mixed feelings about language.
