Hi friends! Here are 8 reasons why I’m learning Polish and why it’s so important to me. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the Polish language. People were asking – Why are you learning Polish? Why Polish? What is your reason?

Harry Potter i Zakon Feniksa

Дочитала ГП-5 на польском. Самая большая книжка в серии читалась на удивление легко. 😀
И, как обычно, незнакомых слов было много в самом начале (13 слов на первой странице первой главы), а в конце книги их стало значительно меньше (6 слов на странице предпоследней главы и всего 4 слова в начале последней главы).
Супер-история, на самом деле. Учит языку (языкам! 😍 ) и не приедается!

Witam serdecznie!
Dziś zapraszam Was na krótki filmik, w którym będę mówić po polsku.

Właśnie niedawno skończyłam czytać tom czwarty opowieści o Harrym Potterze po polsku (Harry Potter i Czara Ognia), i chciałabym Wam trochę opowiedzieć o tym jak długo czytałam tę książkę, co mi się w niej podobało, co mi się nie podobało, a co dla mnie było niezwykłe jako dla Rosjanki.

Prosze Was w komentarzach dajcie znać jak wam się podoba mój polski?
Napiszcie proszę też swoją opinię, co myślicie o czytaniu jednej i tej samej książki (lub całą serię książek!) w różnych językach?

Dziękuję Wam serdecznie za obejrzenie tego filmiku! Do zobaczenia! ❤️


Chcę bardzo podziękowac pani Małgorzacie, mojej nauczycielki języka polskiego, za pomoc w tworzeniu tekstu. Jej kanał na YouTube ▶ Polski nie jest trudny https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC24e


● O mnie.
Cześć! Mam na imię Katarzyna (ros. Екатерина). Jestem Rosjanką i bardzo lubię uczyć się języków obcych i czytać książki w oryginale. Teraz umiem czytać po angielsku, hiszpańsku, polsku, trochę też po ukraińsku i białorusku. Rozumiem te języki, ale nie potrafię mówić we wszystkich z nich. Mam jednak pewien problem. Nie potrafię mówić bez tekstu pisanego! Najpierw muszę napisać cały tekst, co chcę powiedzieć, a następnie przeczytać.
Może jest to problem psychologiczny, bo dokładnie mam prawie taki sam problem w moim ojczystym języku – rosyjskim. Wystąpienia publiczne zawsze były dla mnie trudne i nigdy nie przemawiałam publicznie bez wcześniej napisanego tekstu.
Ale myślę, że muszę zacząć to zmieniać! ! Dlatego otworzyłam nowy kanał na You Tube pod tytułem “Silent Polyglot”, żeby lepiej uczyć się języków obcych i aby stopniowo zacząć rozmawiać z całym światem o językach i o książkach.
Serdecznie zapraszam do subskrybowania mojego kanału.
Uczmy się razem języków obcych!

10:41 Conclusion (English)

You know… there is something magical about books. The more I read the more I want to read!
Reading books in other languages for me is always a way of knowing new things, learning about other cultures and customs, understanding different ways of expressing our thoughts and needs in different languages. Every new language for me is like a new opportunity, a key to better understanding our world – so complicated but so interesting, so wonderful!

I’d love to hear your thoughts, guys!
How many languages can you speak or understand?
Do you like reading books in different languages? What kind of books do you like to read the most?
Let me know in the comments below. Are there any bookworms + language learners out there?

Also I’d really appreciate all your feedback, any correction and any advice you could give on how to improve my pronunciation in English, Spanish and other languages.

Thank you for watching and Happy reading! 💕
Bye!

Harry Potter i więzień Azkabanu

Прочитала 3 ГП в польском варианте. 🇵🇱 Чуть больше месяца заняло. 🤗

Скорость чтения и понимания текста возрастает, а вот незнакомых слов меньше не становится. Прямо с первой главы чувствуется усложнение языка, увеличение словарного запаса. Хм, никогда не думала, что это будет ощущаться так отчетливо не только при чтении на английском (в оригинале), но и в других языках тоже.
