So they do have the normal letter L which I think is the sound that we know, but they have the additional Ł (which is the one in Łopata) which is pronounced like our W. Their W is pronounced like our V, and they don't use our V unless it's in foreign words. Those Slavic languages....
Indeedy. It’s even worse in Russian with a capital H as a lower case letter sounding like our n, a p sounds like an r, an m sounds like a t, a u sounds like an i, a c sounds like an s, a b sounds like a v…. etc etc
My last comment on this is I just went on line to see how you pronounce Kacper. God I wish I hadn't. As for his middle name forget it. Mieczysław.
I believe (although I'm happy to be corrected) that the reason for that is it's not really an "L", it's an "Ł", i.e. an "L" with a line through it. We don't have such a letter in English so we use what we've got and end up mis-pronouncing it.
I think basically.
absolutely. It's polish slang so you won't find it. It's a naughty word though for 'what a terrible situation' 
It's pounced W ... L with a line through so correct it would be pronounced ... Wodch.
Based on 'c.ck' up?
I don’t think that’s necessary. The possibility of Kacper coming is pretty much the only show in town currently when it comes to potential transfers - and this brief discussion is related to him, and originated from some of his social media posts. We do need to move on, but we don’t need to be too po faced about it.
It's Cyrillic with a different alphabet with different symbols.Indeedy. It’s even worse in Russian with a capital H as a lower case letter sounding like our n, a p sounds like an r, an m sounds like a t, a u sounds like an i, a c sounds like an s, a b sounds like a v…. etc etc
I know, but those parts of the alphabet look like our letters and sound like other letters of ours which was the point I was making. I learned it at school and have been there a number of times.
Some people on here are so highly-strung.
I am polish too, sorta know lol
