here is the news

The Tour de France is in crisis, beautiful girls are winning harp competitions and, powering alongside from the beach, TwTwTw has finished Hurra! Po Polsku 1.

Polish is complicated, which I'm told makes it very expressive.  So far my expressiveness has been a bit symbolist, like saying "I have eaten my bike" instead of "I travelled by bike".  But anyway, today I revised everything I am supposed to know before moving on to Hurra! Po Polsku 2

One thing I had forgotten is that, while the accusative singular of masculine nouns is broadly straightforward, the following take their genitive endings instead:

- fruit
- veg
- cars
- games (grać w ping-ponga)
- money:  dollars, zloty, etc
- dances, like a mazurka
and
- fags, e.g. gauloises.

But of course!   

There are reasons why I am doing this, I keep telling myself.
