Phonetic notation experiment

[rikforto]

As an anecdote I will tell you that when I learnt English in early 1990s I struggled quite a lot with English pronounciation. When you see an English word, you don't know how to say it correctly, you can only suspect. On the other hand Polish is actually quite deterministic, 99% of words are obvious to pronounce.

I chuckled because us English speakers find Polish quite difficult to pronounce. It mostly isn't the spelling---though there are a lot of those deterministic rules---but it is quite the mouthful for most of us!
