In this episode, Ania and Roy tackle a topic close to every Polish learner’s heart — the very first words and sounds you encounter when learning Polish! Roy shares his honest experience as a foreigner living in Poland: from the very first Polish word he ever heard (spoiler: it’s a swear word!), to the hardest names and phrases to pronounce, to the hilarious story of using the wrong word at a very formal meeting.
