Old man changed the aircon remote language to polish somehow. So, had a crash 2min course in polish and now I'm fluent and can fix all your accidental language changes from polish to english. But seriously, that is a severely difficult language.

It's an insane language! I just cannot get any pronunciation right at all with Polish 😭

Sounds like when I bought a phone from overseas and it was set with Chinese as the default. That was a fun experience.

Wow, I didn't know aircon remotes have different languages!

But I do have an early 2000s aircon.

I've had a few Polish friends over time and when I have a go at saying things, they all say I speak Polish like a Russian. They've not said it unkindly, but..
