=== Consonants ===
Most Polish consonants are quite easy to pronounce on their own. The problem is that they tend to cluster in ways in which they don't in English. It may help to insert very short ''uh'' sounds in between the consonants, rendering, say, ''wstrząs'', respelled {{pron|fstshawns|link=no}}, into {{pron|fuh·suh·tuh·<u>shawns</u>|link=no}}. But keep in mind that, ideally, this should be pronounced as only one syllable.
