I made a little lustre app that uses the web speech recognition api to help me study polish numbers! If anyone is interested https://giacomocavalieri.github.io/polish_number_practice/

Guess I just learned by first Polish words (assuming I guessed correctly, which I'm pretty sure I did)

Interesting, so there's nothing PL-specific in the repo other than the pl-PL locale ID and some copy text

Technically there’s an experimental api to check if a language is supported and also download it but it’s not implemented in safari so I’m just hoping it works 😂
As long as it works on my device I’m fine with whatever

You can make a mobile app wrapper and publish as separate paid apps per language to apple store / play store, 3€ per language 😆

Sounds like a plan 
I would love to play around with making small iOS apps but every time I tried it was such a headache to even install something to test it out

Ok now that I’ve got the polish peoplehere
Why does “no” mean “yes” in polish that will forever confuse me

😄 it's a shorter version of "ano" which we also use, but it means "yes" in Czech, so it's probably some older slavic (maybe specificly western slavic) word for "yes"
we use "ano" in a different context than "no" - "no" is more like 'yeah", "ano" is used when we confirm something; might be viewed as a little archaic, depends on the region
we also say "no nie?" (or "co nie?") when we mean "right?" 😄

Better question is: Why does "no" means "nie" in english?

in east germany it's the same, they also say 'nu' instead of 'ja'

wikitionary has some interesting theories on the reconstruction, through proto slavic https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/nu to proto-indo-european https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/nu
