    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.

    CAT:

    • KOT
    • KOTA
    • KOTU
    • KOTEM
    • KOCIE <— (This is where I quit: Locative case took the T away WTF?!)

    Przepraszam moja drogi!!

      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
