Alfabet – let’s have fun with Polish letters Posted by Kasia on Jan 28, 2016 in Grammar, Phrases
The polish alphabet (alfabet polski) consists of 32 letters (23 consonants and 9 vowels). Unlike other slavic languages, the polish language (język polski) uses Latin Script with additional diacritics for the special polish phonemes (such as ą and ł). A good rule to remember is that with the most Polish words, the stress lies on the second last syllable.
Here is a little alfabet poem I found! (http://autumn.blog.pl/2007/10/13/alfabet-wierszyk-z-baaardzo-starej-ksiazeczki/)

I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.
