@herissonrose Oddly, from looking at some Polish words, I could kind of see their roots/hints of how they're formed...which I can do with German too.

@Starry1086 Then you have a skill I am highly envious of! Can do it for English (Romance / Latin / Norman French roots, vs Celtic, or Saxon German ones) But for Polish? Embarrassingly I only learned to speak, not read til much later. (My granny was horribly near-sighted, and struggled to write. WW2 and lack of glasses interrupted her education. She had to teach herself later on) So the "reading" part I tackled much later too, when it was much harder to learn. (Still not v good at it!)
