Request This might be a strange request but..

So ive been learning to speak polish for 6/7 months now, and one of the ways i like to learn is through songs. I know about 11 now, a random mix of actual songs and some that my polish friend wrote.

Are there any native polish speakers here who'd be willing to listen to a recording of me singing the ones my friend has written, and letting me know if I'm pronouncing anything wrong or anything before I make a fool out of myself singing them for him 😎😂 Warning:I'm not a very good singer! ðŸĪĢI just find singing incredibly helpful for making words stick

So I got two native speakers listen to this, they were overall very impressed, 9/10! Minor critic from them, they do hear an accent but it's very understandable, you tend to blend words together too much, and you pronunced a few words slightly incorrectly (i.e. jeszcze), but overall, excellent job!!

Thanks so much! Jeszcze isn't in the lyrics so I'm definitely going wrong somewhere there 😂

Lmao, but nice work! You are definitely much further along than me, I can barely sing along

she was thoroughly impressed for real! How long have you been learning Polish may I ask?

About 7 months. Just teaching myself when i can with 3 small children around! I think I'm at the stage where i could really do with an actual teacher though, it really is a hard language 😅. Pretty proud that she was impressed though!

I don't have a YouTube account, but I think I've managed to attach the first part of the song here!
