12 minute lesson
The Polish alphabet
Letters, spelling and the nine Polish characters.
Letters with their own identity
Polish uses the Latin alphabet plus ą ć ę ł ń ó ś ź ż. These are separate letters, not decorative accents.
Stress
Most Polish words stress the second-to-last syllable. Listen before relying on the rule: a few common forms differ.
