In the video I said that Polish is the most linguistically homogeneous country in Europe, as it is reported in some sources. But there are other countries including Hungary and Greece that may be more linguistically homogeneous (Hungary at 98.9%, and Greece at 99%). I looked at some documents from the Polish Central Statistics Office and got these stats: 96.2% of people in Poland use only Polish at home. Another 2% use both Polish and another language at home, making it 98.2%. And if we include speakers of Silesian who only speak Silesian at home, it&apos;s 98.5%. So it&apos;s among the most homogeneous, but it doesn&apos;t seem to be #1.<br><br><br>Another thing, in the video I said that Z is the most common letter in Polish, but it&apos;s only the most common consonant. There are several vowels that occur more frequently than any consonant.<br><br><br>There&apos;s a typo @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfJinyofQdk&amp;t=720">12:00</a> - the singular dative of matka is matce, not matke.<br>@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfJinyofQdk&amp;t=734">12:14</a> - the masculine personal plural nominative of &quot;młody&quot; is &quot;młodzi&quot;, not &quot;młodi&quot;.<br>And

  Ten dziwny moment, gdy jako Polak oglądasz film o języku polskim w języku angielskim...

  Profesor filologii polskiej na wykładzie: <br>- Jak Państwo wiecie w językach słowiańskich jest nie tylko pojedyncze zaprzeczenie. Jest też podwójne zaprzeczenie. A nawet podwójne zaprzeczenie jako potwierdzenie. Nie ma natomiast podwójnego potwierdzenia jako zaprzeczenia. <br>Na to student z ostatniej ławki: <br>- Dobra, dobra.

  We, the Polish, have a simple rule: we see a video about our country, we flock like moths to a flame.

  When I began learning Polish in 2008, the grammar was incomprehensible for me since I am an American, native English speaker. Fast-forward to 2023 and there are people from all corners of the world moving here and the methods of &nbsp;teaching Polish as a second language have drastically improved! My advice to anyone living in Poland is to try to speak as much as possible and never get intimidated. Most Poles are happy that you at least try! Krok po kroku idziemy do przodu!

  As native, i need to tell: we dont know how we speak, it&apos;s just our &quot;flow&quot; so dont be afraid ;)<br>PS: when you talk about &quot;czytać&quot; and &quot;przeczytać&quot; i was thinking about 1 super hard thing: we got:<br>- czytać (read)<br>- odczytać (read to others on loud for example speach)<br>- wyczytać (read on loud too but for example list of students) <br>- wczytać (read with high precission, with special commitment)<br>- przeczytać (when you gonna read something in the future)<br>- rozczytać (read something hard to understand, for example ugly letters on paper)<br>- sczytać (download a file)<br>- poczytać (read something for fun, without commitment)<br>- doczytać (read something back what we left before)<br>And we have maaaany words like this ;)

  Just as the Indonesian 🇮🇩 and Polish 🇵🇱 flags are opposite to each other, &quot;tak&quot; means no in Indonesian and yes in Polish.
