Hi Steve,

that's a great project. I'm contributing the Polish guide - please have a look if it's understandable, as a Polish native speaker I may not be the best judge :)

Best, Prem

Another polish native speaker here. Guide is on spot. The guide lacks however an explanation how to pronounce vowels (this causes issue for English speakers).

Thanks for your kind words. I tried to keep it as short-'n'-sweet and possible and focused on parts the English speakers find the most confusing. Do you think a link to a detailed guide like this may cover the other sounds?

Perhaps a general note, that most languages use vowels not as in English, but rather as in Spanish, would suffice.
