Many of my posts have discussed language challenges and reflections, but I thought it would be fun to conclude with a list of Polish words that I think are simply fun to say! You try...
smaczny - SMACH-ney = tasty
śmieci - SHMEECH-ee = trash
chusteczki - who-TETCH-key = tissue (kleenex)
śliski - SHLIS-key = slippery (sounds like its meaning)
pączek - PAN-check = donut (reminds me that your paunch will get big if you eat too many!)
babeczki - ba-BETCH-key = cupcakes (or a hot woman if used in the wrong context!)
ręczniki - wrench-NEE-key = towels
żółty - ZHOOL-tay = yellow
naliszniki - nal-ish-NEE-key = pancake
"naleśniki" - it's plural, one pancake is "naleśnik"
