I’m learning Polish, and spelling (rz dz sz cz ł and ą ę ż ś) is all fine for me-- the thing I struggle with is the grammatical cases. The fact that the ending of everything changes is what has caused me to give up twice 🥺
I will pick it up again, but I sucked at the Masculine/Feminine thing with French, and this is a lot more difficult.

KOCIE <— (This is where I quit: Locative case took the T away WTF?!)
The T turning into C is called somehow, I don’t remember how, but it’s used quite often. For example, “expensive” and “more expensive” would be “drogo” and “drożej”. I think there were even some tables for all the transformations, but I might misremember things
I wonder if we had ž etc like Czechs would it make it easier for foreigners to read
Fun fact: The Czech adopted š, č and ž to look less German. The Lithuanians adopted it to look less Polish.
That’s actually a fun fact :D. I do wish Polish would adopt this signs though, just so we wouldn’t have these digraphs
Based Jan Hus. Sparking religious wars and linguistic reforms.
That happened hundreds of years after Hus.
Is ź and ż not enough? =D
It would certainly make Polish easier to read for Czechs. Not sure about other foreigners, šžčřě might be just as alien.
