<p>Welcome to a new episode of the Learn Polish Podcast! Today, we travel back to ancient Babylon to discover the story of Cyrus the Great, a visionary leader who chose “soft power” and respect over blood and destruction. I discuss how his ancient wisdom can change the way you approach learning Polish, helping you stop “hitting the glass” like a restless fly. We also explore the complex modern reality of Iran and the Middle East, looking for the human connection and the beautiful Persian culture that survives despite all conflicts. I speak clearly and slowly to help you improve your listening skills while uncovering these fascinating historical and cultural layers.
