      Fun fact: The Czech adopted š, č and ž to look less German. The Lithuanians adopted it to look less Polish.

      It would certainly make Polish easier to read for Czechs. Not sure about other foreigners, šžčřě might be just as alien.

      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!!
