P.S. I apologize for reading from a script. As some of you already know my story, I can read, write and understand but I still struggle to put my thoughts into words even in my own language – Russian. :)

Here is my story:

The best book I’ve read in Polish! 🇵🇱

I’ve just finished reading Znachor (Znachor #1) by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz (in Polish).

I really loved this book! Actually, it’s one of the best classic books I’ve ever read! Well-written, deep and very emotional story that gripped me from the very first page and didn’t let go until the end. Amazing, absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! ❤️

Hi friends! In this video, I read out loud in Polish a short poem “Przyjaciele” by the great Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz. (This work is in the public domain.)
I made this video to show you my daily read-aloud practice and also to help me track my reading and pronunciation progress in Polish.

Title: Przyjaciele
Author: Adam Bernard Mickiewicz
Language: Polish
Read by: Ekaterina Kassesinova

I’m a native Russian speaker and I tried my best to read in Polish with proper rhythm and intonation but I know my pronunciation is still far from perfect.

Please leave a comment below, and let me know what do you think about my pronunciation.
Thank you, guys! I really appreciate your help, any thoughts, feedback and suggestions!

🔴 About
Hi! I’m Kate, a bookworm and a language enthusiast. For many years I enjoy reading books, listening to audiobooks, watching movies in different languages but I still can’t speak. I cannot express myself and my thoughts as clearly as fluently as I want (without a prepared script).
The same problem with my native language – Russian. Public speaking always was a nightmare to me… 🙈
So that is why I decided to start making videos in different languages. I really want to get out of my comfort zone, to overcome my fear of speaking in foreign languages and have an opportunity to talk to all of you guys about everything!!!
My friends call me a silent polyglot …. but I don’t want to be silent anymore! :)
