The Polish Alphabet

The Polish alphabet has 32 letters that are all derived from the Latin alphabet, the same as the English alphabet. The Polish language uses diacritical marks, such as the acute and the dot, to indicate the different sounds that each letter makes.

Here's the complete list of the Polish alphabet:

Polish Pronunciation English
A ah A
Ą ohn A nasal
B beh B
C tseh C
Ć cheh C acute
D deh D
E eh E
Ę en E nasal
F eff F
G geh G
H hah H
I ee I
J yot J
K kah K
L el L
Ł woh L semivowel
M em M
N en N
Ń en yon N acute
O oh O
Ó ooh O acute
P peh P
R er R
S es S
Ś seh S acute
T teh T
U ooh U
W veh W
Y y Y
Z zet Z
Ź zet yon Z acute
Ż zheh Z dot

Tips for Pronunciation

- Polish is a phonetic language, which means that words are pronounced the way they are written, once you learn the pronunciation of the letters. - The acute accent (´) in Polish is used to indicate a rising inflection at the end of a word, while the dot (˙) indicates a pause. - The sound of the letters 'ł' and 'w' do not exist in English, so it requires some practice to master their pronunciation.

I recommend practicing the pronunciation with your teacher or using online pronunciation tools to perfect your skills.

Conclusion

In this lesson, you learned the 32 letters of the Polish alphabet and their pronunciation. This knowledge will set you on the path to mastering the Polish language. Practice your pronunciation every day, and soon you will speak like a native.
