How have people started their reading/ writing?
My polish is completely spoken word using the pimsleur method so it's left me pretty stumped on where to start with the reading of the writing. So any insights would be greatly recieved

Question

Answer

I've been using memrise.com (the Beginner Polish & Comphrensive Polish courses) courses for vocab practice to supplement my Michel Thomas audio course, and now adding italki teaching. It's been a bit of a challenge switching from full audio to reading/writing because of the Polish alphabet (was that sz, ś, zi, ź, or ż ?!), but it's definitely been rewarding.

More medium/long term reading goal is getting some young adult books and reading those (eg Harry Potter).

Answer

Hi, you can start with this:
"Przygwoźdź bździągwa gwoździem źdźbło, to pobździ źdźbłko. " (this is some old, traditional Polish)
Or very popular here: "Chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie w Szczebrzeszynie. "
Good luck, best, Ewelina
