    It’s actually not hard.

    Many languages have clusters that make a different sound than their ingredients.

    “short” isn’t s-hort, but “sh” is a cluster that makes a different sound.

    • sz ~= sh
    • cz ~= ch
    • rz ~= softer “rsh” like in Persia

    I have lots of polish colleagues and they teach me some words and sentences. I thought about learning to read it, start duo lingo. At lesson 1-1 I noped the fuck out. I will learn Japanese before polish.

    “European Languages” isn’t a thing… you’re probably just more familiar with Germanic and Romance languages than you are with Slavic languages.

    however, if the text was “Slavic languages” then this would still apply because WTF is polish doing

    Well, “screams” is “krzyczy” in Polish so I guess this is accurate. Imo it would be funnier with the actual word.
