It has been a while since I posted here. So much has been happening. However, I am still thinking about the best approach to practicing the Polish language. I continue to write songs in Polish, and I am going to record my favorite Polish poems, the ones that I learned when I was a little girl.
In the near future, I will post my first recording of the poem
"Na Straganie" by Jan Brzechwa.

"Na stra­ga­nie w dzień tar­go­wy
Ta­kie sły­szy się roz­mo­wy:

„Może pan się o mnie oprze,
Pan tak więd­nie, pa­nie ko­prze.”

„Cóż się dzi­wić, mój szczy­pior­ku,
Leżę tu­taj już od wtor­ku!”

Rze­cze na to ka­la­rep­ka:
„Spójrz na rze­pę – ta jest krzep­ka!”

Groch po brzusz­ku rze­pę kle­pie:
„Jak tam, rze­po? Co­raz le­piej?”

„Dzię­ki, dzię­ki, pa­nie gro­chu,
Ja­koś żyje się po tro­chu.

Lecz pie­trusz­ka – z tą jest go­rzej:
Bla­da, chu­da, spać nie może.”

„A to fe­ler” –
Wes­tchnął se­ler.

Bu­rak stro­ni od ce­bu­li,
A ce­bu­la doń się czu­li:

„Mój Bu­ra­ku, mój czer­wo­ny,
Czy­byś nie chciał ta­kiej żony?”

Bu­rak tyl­ko nos za­ty­ka:
„Niech no pani prę­dzej zmy­ka,

Ja chcę żonę mieć bu­ra­czą,
Bo przy pani wszy­scy pła­czą.”

„A to fe­ler” –
Wes­tchnął se­ler.

Na­raz sły­chać głos fa­so­li:
„Gdzie się pani tu gra­mo­li?!”

„Nie bądź dla mnie taka wiel­ka” –
Od­po­wia­da jej bruk­sel­ka.

„Wi­dzie­li­ście, jaka krew­ka!” –
Za­pe­rzy­ła się mar­chew­ka.

„Niech roz­są­dzi nas ka­pu­sta!”
„Co, ka­pu­sta?! Gło­wa pu­sta?!”

A ka­pu­sta rze­cze smut­nie:
„Moi dro­dzy, po co kłót­nie,

Po co wa­sze swa­ry głu­pie,
Wnet i tak zgi­nie­my w zu­pie!”

„A to fe­ler” –
Wes­tchnął se­ler.

Recently, I have been studying Polish history more and had the privilege of speaking about it on stage.
Poland has a rich history and has experienced many hardships
My heart is grateful for being born in Poland and for the experiences that shaped me.
Yes, Poland is not the same as when I was growing up, yet I still feel a love for the country.
Here is a poem that I learned when I was little girl♥️ titled “Kto Talk to you later jestes?”/“Who are You?

— Kto ty jesteś?
— P***k mały.
— Jaki znak twój?
— Orzeł biały.
— Gdzie ty mieszkasz?
— Między swemi.
— W jakim kraju?
— W polskiej ziemi.
— Czym ta ziemia?
— Mą Ojczyzną.
— Czym zdobyta?
— Krwią i blizną.
— Czy ją kochasz?
— Kocham szczerze.
— A w co wierzysz?
— W Polskę wierzę.
— Coś ty dla niej?
— Wdzięczne dziecię.
— Coś jej winien?
— Oddać życie.

Though off the regular tourist radar, the south-eastern Polish city of Lublin is increasingly raising eyebrows on account of its beguiling Old Town and magical spirit. But hackneyed clichés aside, it’s also a city with a blossoming arts scene and alternative swagger. Why visit now? Even at the he...

Hello:-)
Cześć, Dzień Dobry, Witam serdecznie!
These are a few forms of greetings in Polish.
My name is Kasia Haroldsen, and I am originally from Poland. Having experience learning a foreign language, I decided to create a course, "Learning Polish with Kasia," One of my lessons will focus on Greeting and Farewells. The goal is to help students with pronunciation, reading, and speaking. In addition, my idea is to present short lessons to keep the students interested and engaged.
From experience, I learned that poems with rhymes and music are one way of learning, so I will use some children's poems and add music to help memorize the pronunciation.
More information is coming soon. Please message me if you or someone is interested in learning Polish.
Thank you:-)

When my children were little, I played this song and other songs from the "Miś I Margolcia" album. They loved it, and to this day, they still remember some of the lyrics. I believe that learning with music is very beneficial :-)
