Only in Polish

Scene from Polish class:

A student is writing a sentence on the board. He starts writing one of the words in the sentence: "dzw..."

The prof interrupts. "No, that's incorrect. You can't start a word with 'dzw'. It would be impossible to pronounce."

The student takes a step back, looks at the board, and inserts the letter R. "drzw..."

"Yes, that's correct," the prof says.


(Incidentally, the word in question was "drzwi", meaning door.)
