A Foreigner's Guide to the Polish Alphabet (Culture.pl)

What it actually is

Culture.pl, run by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, explains the Polish alphabet letter by letter in English, including the sounds that terrify newcomers — ś versus sz, ć versus cz, the nasal ą and ę — with cultural asides that make it stick. Read it on day one, before you attempt any vocabulary. It is a single article, not a pronunciation course, so follow it with recorded audio practice.
