Polish lessons

On Monday we begin Polish classes. We'll be alright as long as they don't try and teach us this famous Polish tongue twister right away:

W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie I Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie. (Translation: In [the town of] Szczebrzeszynie a beetle buzzes in the reed, for which Szczebrzeszyn is famous.)

W Szczebrzeszynie chrzaszcz brzmi w trzcinie. Click here to hear this tongue twister (and that's only the first part of it!)

We'll let you know how it goes...
