[00:00:00]culturally accurate or like anything uh really helpful for conversations, I don't think. But at least it's a start.

[00:00:11]All right. They're going to make me pay.

[00:00:13]I know. I know they're going to make me pay for a subscription right now. And uh I trust you guys. You told me this is a good company, so I'll go for it.

[00:00:25]Hopefully, this is a good um website to use. I never heard of it till today.

[00:00:32]Do you want to try my method? What's your method? Graph. What's your method?

[00:00:42]>> What the heck?

[00:00:52]>> I can't.

[00:00:54]>> I never heard this though.

[00:00:57]Wait, am I stupid? I never heard this.

[00:00:59]This is high.

[00:01:02]>> How do you say this? Wait, >> no. No, wait. How do you say this?

[00:01:08]>> I need to slow this down.

[00:01:21]>> Does it go like that? No. Okay, I'm getting the accent wrong here.

[00:01:28]>> Chashed.

[00:01:32]>> Dude, no. No. Not a good start. Please.

[00:01:38]No. I've noted the accent.

[00:01:43]>> This is difficult. What? What's this? Oh my god. I never made these sounds in my life. I never made these sounds in my life.

[00:01:52]Oh my god.

[00:01:55]Call Discord. Got you.

[00:01:58]Got you.

[00:02:08]Hello.

[00:02:15]>> Okay. There's no Y. There's no It's not.

[00:02:18]>> I never made these sounds in my life.

[00:02:20]Graph. Yeah, but you're going to make them now.

[00:02:24]>> Okay.

[00:02:25]>> Okay. Here's how I'm going to explain it to you. Uh different sounds are made in different parts of the mouth.

[00:02:31]>> Okay.

[00:02:33]>> Uh like the sounds maba they are all made with your mouth.

[00:02:38]>> Mhm.

[00:02:39]>> Uh like in in Arabic I believe like some you know you group sounds based on where they're articulated like um what's it called? Not kala but the other one like the ones that are gloalized. Uh like this.

[00:02:53]>> Yeah. Like sounds like sod and and stuff like those are make made with the throat.

[00:03:00]>> There's also groups of sounds that are like made on the roof of your mouth or on the teeth or on the lips >> essentially.

[00:03:06]>> Mhm.

[00:03:07]>> Uh one of the groups when you say s like >> that's my dog.

[00:03:15]>> Mhm. Uh those your tongue should all be in the same place for them. And it's like above your top teeth just where your just where your pallet begins. Just where your the roof of your mouth begins.

[00:03:28]>> Yeah. S >> I I love my dog. And >> what's the sound you're after?

[00:03:35]>> Sorry to cut you off. I need to ask this question. What? Hola.

[00:03:39]>> Hola.

[00:03:41]>> Hola with a hobby. Hi to >> Hola.

[00:03:45]Yo, we love Hola. Oh my. Wait, I need to uh Hey, Graph, dude. You're lagging like crazy.

[00:03:58]Hello.

[00:03:59][laughter] Hello. You're lagging. Hello. Hello.

[00:04:06]Hello. I don't see you anymore. Hello.

[00:04:10]My god. What's going on?

[00:04:14]Hello.

[00:04:18]>> Hello. Hello.

[00:04:19]>> Oh, you good?

[00:04:21]>> Yeah. I was trying to show you my dog, but I guess the internet's too bad for that.

[00:04:26]>> Yeah.

[00:04:28]>> Okay. Oh, what is Why is there a puddle?

[00:04:30]Okay. Um, what the [ __ ] was I going to say? Uh, so another place where you make sounds is the roof of your mouth.

[00:04:39]>> Mhm. And the only sound most speakers usually have is like the Spanish >> na >> that is pronounced on the roof of your mouth.

[00:04:49]>> So nasa and are the same set of sounds just pronounced in different places.

[00:04:57]>> Okay, say them again.

[00:05:06]>> Or a zed. But your tongue is set up for saying any in Spanish.

[00:05:12]>> Okay. So it's like >> like also in English if you um like how some English people would pronounce hu like with a sound. It's kind of like H in Arabic but like your tongue is raised up.

[00:05:24]>> Yeah.

[00:05:24]>> That sound is also there if if you know that sound.

[00:05:26]>> Yeah.

[00:05:26]>> It's more like a yeah. It's more it's got like a J to it kind of.

[00:05:31]>> Yeah. Can you pronounce uh the word I was trying to pronounce the high?

[00:05:36]>> Uh ch.

[00:05:38]>> Okay. What do you use for that? What pallet? How how do you go for it?

[00:05:42]>> Okay. So tr um it's it's not like an English ch. You can pronounce it that way, but the Polish ch is further back in the mouth. It's like the roof of the mouth kind of sound. It's like t like your tongue is actually curled back a bit.

[00:05:57]>> And then that's the sound.

[00:06:01]chest chest.

[00:06:03]>> It's It's Yeah, it's sh. So, you're actually trying to say uh I guess would become s. It's like chest, >> but the latter part your tongue is all the way raised. Chest.

[00:06:20]>> Chest. Chest.

[00:06:22]>> Try and try and make it more like a ch like a ch sound.

[00:06:26]>> Chest.

[00:06:28]Chest.

[00:06:30]try to add like a bit of a y at the end like a chest.

[00:06:36]>> You said which means six. Now change the beginning to >> a chest. Chest.

[00:06:42]>> That's that's that's closer.

[00:06:44]>> Dang, dude. I don't even know the difference.

[00:06:48]>> Yeah, that's that's basically me when I'm trying to tell the difference between Vad and Vad.

[00:06:53]>> Literally. Yeah. Like Oh my god. Wait, I didn't know Polish accent. I would say it's I would say it's close enough for now.

[00:07:01]>> Uh like I it took me two months just to get in correct in Arabic and I still pronounce it weird. So I would just say as long as you know how to pronounce it and you're making an effort, don't worry about it cuz then you're going to spend like four hours trying to pronounce it and then get demotivated.

[00:07:16]>> Yeah. I feel like the like the main issue is that it could be misunderstood for like a different word. Like you said, it's like six. Uh, that's why I'm trying to get the pronunciation correctly here.

[00:07:30]>> Yeah, that that's the beginning of the word. The against Polish does have a lot of the cluster >> like you're going to have a lot of that kind of sound.

[00:07:41]>> Yeah.

[00:07:44]>> Yeah. Uh, what I would do is like just each day do like maybe each word do 10 attempts and if you can't get it perfect after 10 attempts, just move on.

[00:07:56]>> Yeah.

[00:07:58]>> Yeah. I'm going to try to get it as close as possible. I I think it will help also if I listen to a couple of like uh Polish videos or something.

[00:08:06]>> Yeah.

[00:08:06]>> Watch your streams, you know.

[00:08:08]>> And there's also one more sound in that place. You have sha, ja, cha, and ja.

[00:08:14]Like there's there's like a set of four sounds.

[00:08:16]>> You said the same sound four times to me.

[00:08:20]>> Sha cha ja ja.

[00:08:24]>> Cha sha ja ja. Is it like this, >> bro? You just did it. You just did it.

[00:08:30]>> Oh my god. Oh my god.

[00:08:32]Wait. Wait. Do you think Okay. How how long do you think it will take me to like be able to at least have small talk with Nexi?

[00:08:47]I know it will take months maybe.

[00:08:57]Is it that bad?

[00:08:58]>> Okay. Yeah, my internet's bad today.

[00:09:00][laughter] >> Uhhuh. Did you hear my question? No, >> I I I asked you how long do you think it will take for some someone like me, like I'm learning for the first time, to be able to have small talk, like something simple like saying hi.

[00:09:18]>> Uh just like saying phrases.

[00:09:23]Uh okay. I need to be sitting next to my dog and petting her so she doesn't sing.

[00:09:29]>> Mhm.

[00:09:29]>> Okay. Um, honestly, if you grind it out with flashcards and like just learn 50 phrases or so, you could be just, >> as I call it, phrase fluent in a week, which is basically you understand nothing of the language, but you are trained to understand the phrases.

[00:09:46]>> Yeah.

[00:09:46]>> Uh, but, you know, if you don't give a [ __ ] you'll never learn it. Like, it's it's about how much you put in.

[00:09:51]>> I'm ready to spend a lot of time on it.

[00:09:53]I like I said this in my stream. If I'm trying like to learn something new, I'm I'm like I get obsessive about it. Like I spend a lot of time. So I think >> best >> I think I'll I'll make some progress.

[00:10:07]>> I think the accent program I would recommend like >> you know most of these programs are just trying to get your money.

[00:10:14]>> Uh the one program that's absolutely goated and I don't think anyone could say a bad word against is called Anki.

[00:10:21]>> A N Ki.

[00:10:23]It's not a language learning program.

[00:10:27]>> Yeah, I used this one.

[00:10:29]>> Yeah, they have a new algorithm now cuz they were stuck on like a stone age version of Super Memo, but now they have like their own algorithm.

[00:10:36]>> Yeah.

[00:10:36]>> And you know, with paper flashcards, you're going to go through the same ones every day, and there's no use. You're going through the ones you already know really well. That's why you have like the four buttons like hard, easy, etc. So, you can space it out.

[00:10:48]>> Yeah, I did use this.

[00:10:50]>> Learning language is a marathon. It's It's not a sprint, you know.

[00:10:53]>> Yeah, dude. I'm ready to lock in on it, though. Also, if you if you want to um improve more on Arabic, I'm totally up to it. By the way, [laughter] >> dude, you got it.

[00:11:12]You basically got it. I want to reach your level in Arabic. I want to reach it in Polish. That's like the the goal, >> bro. My level in Arabic, I think you can do in a week. I just know words and how to pronounce them.

[00:11:23]>> Dude, the Arabic is very difficult. Like the sounds and stuff. You got it.

[00:11:27]>> Well, that's because I've been nerding out about linguistics for the past 10 years. So, I just make these sounds for fun.

[00:11:34]>> Yeah.

[00:11:36]No, definitely an exciting grind to go for.

[00:11:40]>> You should definitely do it. Like that's actually like English aside, Arabic Polish is like such a such a base combo.

[00:11:49]Mhm.

[00:11:51]If you want, I can set you up on Discord with a friend of mine. Uh, he's uh like Palestinian, but he grew up in Jordan and his mom's Polish, his dad's Palestinian. He lives in Poland now, and he like he can probably explain it to you like way easier with the Arabic sounds and stuff cuz he speaks both.

[00:12:12]>> I would love to connect uh if you could like make a group chat at some point.

[00:12:16]>> Yeah, let me patch in Sebastian. Mhm.

[00:12:20]Sebastian.

[00:12:21]>> Yeah, you can ask him first. Yo, thank you so much, dude. This is awesome.

[00:12:26]>> I just got home, so I'm going to dip and shower.

[00:12:28]>> Best of luck, mate.

[00:12:29]>> Good luck. See you.

[00:12:31]>> Bye, >> dude. Graph is awesome. Wg graph in the chat, please. Let me get W graph in the chat. Let me get 1 million W graph in the chat.

[00:12:43]Yes. Yes. Wgraph.

[00:12:47]Yo, I'm actually now more excited about it.

[00:12:52]I might have forgot the sounds already, but I'm more excited about it. I might have forgotten the the the sounds, but this is hype. This is hype. I'm really excited to see like the progress. I think I'll look back at this VOD and like be uh very surprised by the progress very soon.

[00:13:12]Hopefully, if I lock in on >> W graph.

[00:13:14]>> Yes, W graph. Thank you, Tommo.

[00:13:19]Okay, let me Okay, how do you pronounce this again? Sh. No, sh.

[00:13:28]No, wait.

[00:13:30]I think it sounds so stupid to Polish people hearing me right now. Shashed.

[00:13:38]Shashed. Shashes.

[00:13:41]Does it go like that? Do I have to pronounce that T at the end? Shashed.

[00:13:46][ __ ] How do you >> shed?

[00:13:50]I I have such a stupid accent.

[00:13:54]Sh >> without the T. Why am I hearing the T though?

[00:14:02]>> Shesh.

[00:14:05]>> Shashesh.

[00:14:12]Okay, I'll try it. I try it one more time. I'll try it one more time.

[00:14:21]>> You know what? You know what? I'll I'll I'll work on this more. I'll work on it more. Let me do this.
