Question about letter choice

I've seen words with a normal a (ex. "moja") mean the same with ą instead (ex. "moją"). Same with ó. Is this an important difference, or more like the British English using s (ex. "realise") and America using a z (ex. "realize"), and the word can be used either way?

Hi, the change in letters, which you've noticed comes from pronoun declension, therefore it's important to learn them. There's difference in meaning eg. moja siostra (my sister), z moją siostrą (with my sister), mój brat (my brother), z moim bratem (with my brother).

Also, do capital letters matter at the beginnings of sentences if the word is not a proper noun?

    Yes, they do matter. In most languages (at least the Indo-European ones) the fisrt word of a sentence begins with a capital letter.
