Pronounce My Name

My name is Andrzej Skrzypacz. Many friends complain that there are not enough vowels in my name. Hard to disagree with them. Polish is a difficult language.

Therefore, there are two ways to pronounce my name: the Polish way and the easy way.

The Polish way

Here is how to pronounce my name in Polish.

Andrzej ▶ play

Skrzypacz ▶ play

The easy way

I understand that it may sound difficult, so I suggest (i.e. recommend) an easier version:

Andrzej = AHN-jay ▶ play

Skrzypacz = SKRI-pach ▶ play
(starts like “script” without the “pt” and ends like “patch” without the “t”)

Finally, most people outside Poland simply call me Andy.
