Dear All,
I have recently come across a superb blog for the learners of German. It is called "Slow German" and contains slowly-read articles about different aspect of living in Germany.
I have been wondering how helpful would a blog of this kind in Polish be. How many of you learners of Polish are there out there? What do you think?

I would definitely be an active listener if the project consistently put out new material.

I'm learning Polish, and what I ideally need at the moment is to listen to slow-speech material.
There are lots of blogs for reading, but not many for easy listening.
I occasionally read:
1. Ale Babka!! cooking and baking blog.
2. Multigato language blog.
3. Spójrz na życzie inaczej personal blog.
I would welcome a 'Slow-Polish' blog too.

Sure why not?
If there were something like Selkouutiset ("clear/plain [language] news" in Finnish i.e. news reports/blogs presented in less flowery Finnish meant for new immigrants and those learning Finnish) in Polish, that would be fantastic.

Hi Moby!
I got caught by the title of this post and I'm surprised you read my blog: Multigato.
I have in plans to put some audio files of me reading in the languages I learn for
others to tell me what they think of it and what mistakes I might make.
Why couldn't I put also the files in my native language, Polish? It would be so much
easier... Do you have any suggestions what kind of texts should they be. If you have
any specific questions or "requests" I'd be more than happy to help.
Na razie

Hi Przemek,
I certainly read your blog.
Well done on your 158 hours of study to date!
I actively use my Polish in conversation with Polish friends. So I don't need the usual tourist type dialogues about hotel reservations. I discuss all sorts of things with my friends such as: food, health, families, pets, personal stories about our childhood, plans for the future, jobs etc. We sometimes discuss politics, history and religion but at the moment I lack the vocabulary and practice to state my views clearly on these topics.
Any text would be great! As long as it's slow and clearly pronounced.
Dzięki za pomoc!
