Polish Sounds is the easiest way for English speakers to master Polish pronunciation — from the first vowel to tricky consonant clusters. Built by a Polish teacher for real students, every lesson combines native audio, slow-motion mouth videos, and side-by-side similar-sound drills so you stop guessing and start hearing the difference. — WHAT YOU GET — • Native recordings of every Polish sound, word, phrase, and sentence • Slow-motion mouth and tongue videos so you can see exactly how each sound is shaped • Similar-sound comparison drills (sz vs. ś, cz vs. ć, rz vs. ż, and more) • Minimal pairs to train your ear • Kids progression: bite-sized syllable steps perfect for beginners • Question-intonation variants for natural-sounding speech • Vocabulary, phrases, and full sentences in every lesson • Adjustable playback speed (0.5x / 0.75x / 1x) for tough sounds • Works offline once a lesson is loaded — practice anywhere — DESIGNED FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS — Polish has sounds that don't exist in English. Polish Sounds shows you the mouth shape, plays you the native sound, then drills you with minimal pairs until you can hear and reproduce it. No grammar lectures, no fluff — just the pronunciation work most apps skip. — WHO IT'S FOR — • Beginners who want to sound natural from day one • Travelers heading to Poland • Heritage learners reconnecting with the language • Anyone preparing for the B1, B2, or C1 exam • Teachers looking for a clean reference tool for students — HOW IT'S ORGANIZED — Lessons are grouped by sound family: vowels, nasal vowels, plosives, fricatives, affricates, nasal/liquid/approximant consonants, and consonant clusters. Each sound is color-coded so you can see the structure of the Polish phonetic system at a glance. — FREE TO START — The full lesson library is available for free. A one-time $2.99 in-app purchase removes ads — no subscriptions, no recurring charges. — SUPPORT — Built and maintained by Polish Language House. Privacy policy and terms at polishlanguagehouse.com.
