Hi, I'm Rafał and writing it I'm wondering how you would pronounce my name. I'll try to explain you how my name sounds. I have polish name because... Indeed I'm a Pole :) If I had to write in English language, not using polish letters, I would write it in this way: Rafow. It sounds exactly like "Ra" + English word "how" but with letter "f" instead of "h". And one more thing. In polish we don't pronounce soft "r" and it is always hard "r" like "rrrrrr" but obviously shorter :). Oh! I'd forget, saying my name put the stress on the first syllable. So, my name is Rafał and I hope you enjoyed reading my broken English :) I'd appreciate if you correct me.

It was intriguing! 🙂. I would have pronounced it Rafal, “raf” like “raffle” and “al” like in the word “pal”.
You communicated your message absolutely fine, therefore your English works and is not broken! Sure it wasn’t 100% right, but it was pretty good!
