I’m learning direction words in Polish (A1) so here’s how I learn them

po lewej stronie - on the left vs po prawej stronie - on the right

lewej starts with L/Le so it’s left. prawej sounds like prawda, so the truth, or it’s RIGHT

na dole - d for downstairs

na górze reminds me of góry (mountains) or “w górach” (in the mountains) upstairs or up in the mountains

    I’m learning Italian, just passed A2, and am probably gonna continue with B1 if the course schedule is right.

    At the moment, I am having a vacation in Italy, and I realized that there’s no more effective way than having use cases that you can relate on a personal level.

    Don’t bother with any of those in-your-head translations. Just erase the English from your brain and speak Polish directly. If you forget a word, look it up if you have to, then use it. After you’ve used it a few times, it will stick. Polish is pretty hard though, from what I can tell. Even Hungarian is easier.
