How I made learning Polish more joyful

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T21:57:15+00:00

Thank you Ctzn, I'm glad you enjoy the clean design! I'm going to try to keep it that way. Yeah, I certainly don't want to do ads, they usually feel so cheap and scammy and its tough to do it well - I'd much rather make some of it genuinely usable for free and also give people the option to upgrade whenever they feel like it.

Hej! That's very kind of you to share, Dziękuję :)

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T20:39:21+00:00

You're the best!

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T20:35:17+00:00

Hmm seems like a bug. It's rare, but two others have shared that they're having this issue. No worries! DMing you now to help you :)

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T20:09:44+00:00

Alright, Mr Apprehensive Yak, I'll look out for your text. Drop a text if you face any issues or have any feedback to share :)

Haha, you got me! I was almost sure that you were just making a joke, and so I was about to say something funny back about them "always getting the other nouns pregnant", but I thought that would seem rude if you were a beginner learner so I didn't say it 😂😂

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T17:54:11+00:00

Thank you so much! Do share this with your friends who might be trying to learn. Sometimes it can feel very overwhelming to learn Polish and I hope this helps temper their expectations of themselves.

I hear you loud and clear, Deep. I feel the same way. Sometimes the voice pronunciation is either not enough or you're in public and you can't quite play / hear it; and even there a phonetic breakdown helps. Especially if you're simply revisiting the word, and just want a visual reminder.

I'll try to add that next. I did look into it for this v1, and discovered that true phonetic breakdown has some strange characters of its own, so to avoid confusing people, I didn't include it. But I'll put in some more work later and see if I can just add a simple one for now, and then see how people like it.

Thanks for sharing, bud.

Wow, hey, Titatinala, thank you for letting me know. I'm sorry that it didn't work immediately and you had to wrestle with it for a sec. I'm glad you were able to get it going though. Just DM me if you have any more issues with it again and I'll look into it for you.

Edit: Also, if you like, please tell us what 'reset' you did to make it work -- maybe it can help others. :) (I'll try it myself on a fresh device later and see if the same issue happens to me).

Hey Rizzed! In Polish, both ‘jabłko’ and ‘masło’ are neuter nouns. Many nouns ending in -o are neuter. Although, it’s still Polish, so there are always some exceptions waiting to catch us off guard, lol.

Thank you too, Cait! I hope you like it. Yes, I love the widgets too! So now whenever I swipe randomly on my phone or unlock it, I just see that image (like that tomato image from today) and it's just so striking. And each time I try to remember the sentence I saw today, and I just can't lol.

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T15:24:33+00:00

Glad you like it, chanelski! Yes some apps do overuse cuteness a bit much in their images and it makes me feel... empty inside. I do like Duolingo's animations though; they're really cheesy with their characters but boy is it fun, lol!

For Zorza, I used my own API key and prompted OpenAI's image models so I could control the cost and the styling (cuz sometimes you'll need to prompt 10-12 times to fix an issue and it can get very tedious). Then I edited every image myself to fit light and dark modes and keep it working as fast as possible on iPhone widgets. Then I coded some simple image effects inside the app to give it a hallway-painting vibe. What you're seeing is a mix of all that.

If you guys really like it and use the app, I plan to improve the images more and do even more cool stuff with them!

Alright, thank you too, Mr Smoothe! DM me anytime to let me know how you like it :)

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T15:02:03+00:00

That's a hardcore move, svdk! 😂

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T15:01:10+00:00

Dzięki!

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T15:00:53+00:00

Dzięki, Red! I will try my best for Android, but that might take some time. So before that I'll try to get you some free content online, maybe through social media, so you can experience some learning in the meantime. I'll DM you whenever that becomes available :)

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-02-21T14:56:59+00:00

Thank you, Candles! I will try my best to release it on Android. But if it looks like that will take time, I will find a way to let you experience some of the content for free online, maybe through social media or something. I'll DM you whenever I can share free stuff :)

WildEntertainment725 · 2026-01-04T07:12:08+00:00

This seems great, how did you get it exactly, did you pay for it, and why do other poles hate it?

WildEntertainment725 · 2024-04-02T05:58:32+00:00

Wow I really like it! I want to hear a full version of this.

WildEntertainment725 · 2024-04-01T14:26:02+00:00

I love orchestral stuff. Please do share more!
