A quick tip today on how some of the polish numbers are usually pronounced. This one is direct from my teacher and made a huge difference to the stuttering noises coming out of my mouth when trying to say these words.
The cluster of letters is …ćdz… You see it in the following numbers :
Pięćdziesiąt (15)
Sześćdziesiąt (16)
Dziewięćdziesiąt (19)
When you try to say these as they’re written, you end up trying to quickly change your mouth from saying CH to DZ. In Polish however, the ć ends up being silent in these words.
Try saying them again like this :
Pięćdziesiąt
Sześćdziesiąt
Dziewięćdziesiąt
Much easier!
