Why does it seem like many Polish speakers do in fact blunt, mumble, or leave off the ending of words!

Hi Ania,

It is not the case, not only Polish speakers do it, we all do it 😀

Ask somebody who started learning a foreign language, and they will say that the speakers of that language speak way too fast, mumble, etc. While in fact, this is a natural, normal way of speaking and the natives understand them without any problems.

To understand better, try to listen to more Polish content, (stories, podcast, etc. ) and read the text at the same time. To progress you need to understand what you are listening to, so re-listening and some additional work with vocabulary may be required.

I did exactly that when learning French and after a few months my understanding of spoken French increased a lot.
