Now I know that some of you must be curious about this new language I'm learning, so I wanted to include some links to some places where you can hear the language. I'm sure you all would like to know more than the "traditional" bumper sticker Polish--"Jak się maś?". John tells me that these stickers are/were distributed by the Don'key restaurant in Pasadena--anyone know if that's true or not? Please e-mail me with the answer!!! Better yet, please explain why a Mexican restaurant would give out Polish bumper stickers???

So here is a site that takes you through the alphabet pronouncing Polish words to demonstrate.
http://www.anglik.net/polish_phrases.htm
And this site used to have the pronounciation of important phrases. . .now it only has the curse words at the bottom. Important to understand when someone is calling you (or your dog) these things. . .
By the way... I have to now learn the codes for Polish diacritical marks. It appears that this site will not accept the codes, but maybe if I put this in a Word doc first. ..yup, that worked. Hopefully this will appear correctly when I upload this post.
So I guess this will be my last post with all of my teeth intact. In the morning I have my wisdom teeth removed. . .yikes!!!!
Wish me luck!
