Awesome Thing About Living in Europe # 5

Awesome Thing About Living in Europe #5:  The Polish Alphabet

Our name, Sullivan, in Polish spelling on the bottom of the taxi screen. 

Tom and I have started Polish lessons and are currently taking private lessons twice a week for 90 minutes a lesson.  We are making progress and it is a pretty tough language.  For a native English speaker the sounds and letter combinations in the Polish language are incredibly difficult to pronounce.  But, with each lesson it gets a little bit easier.  The Polish alphabet is equally confusing with multiple variations of a single letter...for example I think there are three variations of the letter "c".  And, based on the different sounds of their letters they have different spellings of words than we do.  We like checking out the Polsish spellings and find them pretty funny sometime.
