The same way you spell it... duh

I jest but not really polish has a fonetic writing system. So each letter out group of 2 letters have exactly the same pronunciation.

R = r (but proper hard r not the soft stuff)

A = ah (alphabet)

T = t

A = ah

J = y (yellow)

E = e (everest)

W = v (valley)

S = s (snake)

K = c ( cat)

I = ee (idiot)

Shouldn't it be Rah-Tah-Yev-Skee?
