emphasis on the syllable
I don't know the 100% accuracy of this but one of our translators told us this tip. When you are reading a Polish word, the emphasis is usually on the second to last syllable.
We've been home almost nine months with our sibling group of three, daugther 9, and sons, 8 and 6. Over the summer I thought they would revert back to more Polish as they had done at home after school. But they are using very few Polish words per week. Thankfully we have fluent Polish Speakers in the area and we need to visit, when everyone is 'less busy' (not out of town) when school starts.
