Andorra is wowing me a lot. How does borrowing work here? Only with permission of the respective other person or...? Andorra will be able to send songs from Catalonia, but I do recommend purely Andorran singers if possible. In this case yes the Andorran player will have to ask the Spanish player in case, but we'll see soon. Alrighty.

Tamta Dschew-tschynna. Dschew like the name Jeff. The "y" is almost like a short "i" in German, but we don't exactly have that sound^^ It's like the Turkish "ı" if that helps No that doesn't because I was always wondering that too. Where do you know that from btw? Well, I'm interested in linguistics and I have Polish friends So, the Polish pronunciation is actually quite easy for me, especially because I also know Russian. Polish pronunciation looks very difficult, but it's really not that hard once you know what sounds the "cz", "sz" and "rz" make In fact, it's more consistent and logical than English (almost every language is, tbh )

Polish "cz" would be "tsch" in German. (Like in Czechia --> Tschechien) Polish "sz" would be "sch" in German. And "rz" is like the French "J" in "je t'aime" for example. Or like the second "g" in "Garage". If you know those rules, you're pretty good to go at trying to pronounce Polish words, since the vowels are pretty much the same as in German (not as weird as the English vowels, for instance). In fact, it's more consistent and logical than English (almost every language is, tbh ) That's something I disagree at now tbh. Well, pronunciation-wise, the English language is pretty much the most unlogical language I have ever experienced. Let me explain why: In the English language you have words like: "T ough" (taff) "Th ough". (tho) "Th ought". (thåt) "Thr ough". (thru) All of those words have an "ough" in there, but it's pronounced differently every time. There are 4 different ways of pronouncing the exact same letter combination! That's insane actually I don't know a single language that has such a random orthography and pronunciation. In most languages (Polish and German included), the pronunciation is very clear and logical. Most of the time there's just one (or maybe two) ways of pronouncing a word. But in English, you have a pretty high chance of pronouncing the word wrong if you haven't heard the word before. I mean, how are you going to explain to a beginner that "bear" and "pear" do NOT rhyme with "fear" and "tear", but with "fair", "care" and "where"? It makes no sense whatsoever and you won't find anything like that in most other languages^^ Offtopic

Pixie Paris - Es rappelt im Karton
Yes something totally different and nothing I'd usually send.
I got a bit bored of Worldvision recently, which has also been shown in a few of my previous entries, for several reasons such as the speed (which I never cared for before) or annoying results players so this might be my last edition (or at least for a while).

Austria confirms its participation, most likely the entry will be changed due to the new circumstances.

The first two of them make sense. The third one, however is a bit random.
