Here are some short, easy to remember (maybe not at first, but I promise you will remember them!) rhymes about few of the rules in Polish grammar:)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rz<\/b> po sp\u00f3\u0142g\u0142oskach<\/b><\/p>\n

W takich wyrazach jak drz<\/b>ewo, wrz<\/b>\u0105tek, brz<\/b>ask,<\/span><\/p>\n

krz<\/b>yk, drz<\/b>azga, prz<\/b>tyczek, Grz<\/b>esiu oraz trz<\/b>ask,<\/span><\/p>\n

poniewa\u017c “rzet” po sp\u00f3\u0142g\u0142osce stoi,<\/span><\/p>\n

to zawsze tam b\u0119dzie er zet mili moi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pami\u0119tajcie o tym – taka moja rada:<\/span><\/p>\n

er zet po sp\u00f3\u0142g\u0142oskach to wa\u017cna zasada.<\/span><\/p>\n

In such words as\u00a0drz<\/b>ewo,\u00a0wrz<\/b>\u0105tek,\u00a0brz<\/b>ask,<\/em><\/p>\n

krz<\/b>yk,\u00a0drz<\/b>azga,\u00a0prz<\/b>tyczek,\u00a0Grz<\/b>esiu and\u00a0trz<\/b>ask<\/em><\/p>\n

because “rz” after a consonant is,<\/em><\/p>\n

it will always be there er zet (rz)- my dears.<\/em><\/p>\n

Remember this – that’s my advice:<\/em><\/p>\n

“er zet – rz” after consonants is an important principle.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"bee-apis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Psz<\/b>enica i <\/b>psz<\/b>czo\u0142a<\/b><\/p>\n

Psz<\/span><\/b>enica i psz<\/b>czo\u0142a to znany wyj\u0105tek,<\/span><\/p>\n

kt\u00f3ry zapami\u0119tasz na dobry pocz\u0105tek,<\/span><\/p>\n

bo tu nietypowo – po “pe” piszesz “esz”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Je\u015bli nie wiedzia\u0142e\u015b, to teraz ju\u017c wiesz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psz<\/b>enica i\u00a0psz<\/b>czo\u0142a\u00a0is a known exception,<\/p>\n

that you’ll remember for a good start,<\/p>\n

because here unusually – after “p” we write “sz”<\/p>\n

If you did not know, now you know.<\/p>\n

Mo<\/b>rz<\/b>e<\/b><\/p>\n

W morz<\/b>u spokojnym i w morz<\/b>u wzburzonym,<\/span><\/p>\n

w Morz<\/b>u Ba\u0142tyckim i w Morz<\/b>u Czerwonym,<\/span><\/p>\n

p\u0142ynie miarowo fala za fal\u0105.<\/span><\/p>\n

Literki w “morz<\/b>u” te\u017c id\u0105 par\u0105:<\/span><\/p>\n

oto jest er, a tu\u017c za nim zet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fala za fal\u0105 – jak er i zet.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the sea calm and the sea rough,<\/em><\/p>\n

in the Baltic Sea and the Red Sea,<\/em><\/p>\n

flows rhythmically wave after wave.<\/em><\/p>\n

Letters in the “sea” also go a couple:<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is “r”, and just behind him “z”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wave after wave – like “r” and “z”.<\/p>\n

K<\/b>u<\/b>ra<\/b><\/p>\n

Przez “u” zwyk\u0142e piszesz ku<\/b>ra,<\/span><\/p>\n

bo to “u” to ku<\/b>rza dziura.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do tej dziury – to nie bajka<\/span><\/p>\n

ku<\/b>ra znosi swoje jajka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zajrzyj do “u” tego potem<\/span><\/p>\n

– mo\u017ce znajdziesz jajko z\u0142ote…<\/span><\/p>\n

Regular “u” in word hen you write,<\/em><\/p>\n

because the “u” is a chicken hole.<\/em><\/p>\n

For this hole – this is not a fairy tale<\/em><\/p>\n

hen lays her eggs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Look inside the “u” \u00a0then<\/em><\/p>\n

And maybe you will find the golden egg …<\/em><\/p>\n

And here is a video with pronunciation:<\/p>\n
