Was thinking today while doing some lessons if it would be possible to only listen to one single word when listening to how they are pronounced. For example spotykać się z przyjaciółmi, if it was possible to only listen to how spotykać sounds like at a time. At least to me, that would make it easier to hear the sounds on the specific words I struggle a bit more with! Regards

Hello there,

Thanks for your question. It is possible but it would be for us very time consuming to record individual sounds.

Instead we choose kind of key phrases from each dialogue, text or video ad create them.

This has got another advantage that you learn words that appear frequently together. Using this and few other examples.

If you learn I like which in Polish is Lubię and a few such phrases like grać w gry wideo, czytać książki, spotykać się z przyjaciółmi, oglądać telwizję, etc. you suddenly can say a few things about yourself.

By the way, there is a good website where you can check pronunciation of single words. Please have a look here: fovro.com. All the sounds are recorded by native speakers. Also, please feel free to post some lists of words here and I will record the sounds for you.

I hope this helps.

True, agree with that. Would indeed be a lot of extra work for it. Thanks for the tips!

I've been using Google Translate to supplement my learning of beginning Polish. It now has a pronunciation feature that works fairly well.

However, I find numerous differences between the Polish translations it produces for English words and phrases, and what I get for the same words and phrases from language apps.
