Re: Characterization of proper /ç/
I have an impression German /ç/ sounds like my, Polish, /ɕ/, more than any Asian /ɕ/'s, which to me are either [sʲ] or [ʃ]. Is just our /ɕ/ even more palatal and that's why German /ç/, when distinguished from /x/, is taught to be /ɕ/?

Re: How to make a spelling without diacritics?
Ok, It'll be long but I'll try to describe it: 1. No "classical" phonemic nasal vowels: Ę and ą are /ɛN/ and /ɔN/ word-internally (N assimilates in POA to the following consonant) and /ɛ(m)/ and /ɔm/ word-finally. 2. /ɛ/ is backed, something like [ɜ] and sometimes it is identical to /ɨ/ ([ɘ]). 3.

Re: How to make a spelling without diacritics?
"ĥ" - does anyone even hear the difference between ĥ and h? Are there any languages that have both the sounds, in non-allomorphic distribution? Me, another native Polish speaker. Actually, both of these sounds are present in my speech. The truth is I have many sounds you probably don't and my Polis...

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
What I meant was what I did in English - putting a term into quotation marks as a kind of meta-reference, meaning "anything harrowing". That also works in German, but from your reactions I see that it doesn't work in Polish (or, for that matter, in French or Dutch. Well, you can't quite talk about ...
