Almost there. They could have used a real polish name like Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz?

My favorite polish word is dżdżownica (earthworm). Pronounced j-j-ov-NEE-tsa.
Oh, and dżdży (it rains), pronounced j-j-ih
And before anyone asks, yes, dżdżownica is called like that because it comes out of the ground when dżdży.
The pronunciation is actually not that bad but the spelling is insanely difficult.
Spelling is actually very regular (way more than English), it's just slightly unintuitive for non polish speakers
Polish and Czech are basically the Dutch of Eastern European languages.
