Mike, unfortunately, I cannot speak or write in Polish. I know the rules of reading and I can understand pretty much any text written in Polish; I can also understand the oral Polish speech of the speaking person speaks VERY SLOWLY and directly to me; but I cannot understand a fluent Polish speech, like when someone speaks on the Polish radio, or when two Poles speak between themselves.
In this regard, my wife's mother who grew up in Volyn' (Northwestern Ukraine) in the 1930-s, when it was part of Poland, understands any Polish speech, no matter how fluent or fast; but she has the same problem with Russian that her daughter and I have with Polish (i.e., my mother-in-law can understand pretty much any written Russian text and she can undestand a Russian speech when the words in Russian are spoken very slowly and directly to her, but she is lost when she listens to the Russian radio or watches a program on the Russian TV).
In this case, I think I understood everything you wrote in your message. Your Web site is excellent, very informative and beautifully made, and user-friendly.
