Really? For several years I studied Russian, which is structurally basically the same as Polish (Slavic), and it didn't seem that alien to me, not after a couple years of German. In terms of general structure it's a lot like Latin. They're all Indo-European, after all.
I don't disagree with you about Polish pronunciation, tho. Russian pronunciation isn't that hard, but Polish is much more challenging.
C.J.O'Brien, I remember that Ebonics froofrah in Oakland very well. I lived in north Oakland for 10 years, what part of Oakland are you in? |
Polish has many declinations in place of what I would call tenses. There is some weird ending for just about every situation to where there are 12 different versions of every word and they usually aren't consistent from word to word. And it's more than just conjugating verbs, it's like you conjugate nouns, and for almost every different situation it's being used. It's way too complicated.
