It’s really a nice language.  The cases are a difficult concept for English-speaking people, but you get over that once you realize we’re just talking parts of speech.

We’re using an English alphabet on this forum right now.  Perhaps I should add another so I can write Polish properly.  We’ll see.

Wish I could speak it more.
