I've been doing Polish for over a year with Duolingo but I certainly don't feel I know enough to actually go there and try and speak it. I'm still struggling with the declensions of the adjectives in Unit 2. I do a couple of lessons every day but still get them wrong. Polish has 7 cases, 3 genders, and as with any language, the prepositions are utterly illogical. Each preposition requires a certain case, also not necessarily logical.
I haven't even progressed past the present tense yet.
As for speaking it - I have very high standards there, and 5 consonants in a row is no rarity. I remember now that I gave up Russian 40 years ago because it was so difficult to pronounce.
Actually Polish does sound quite sexy when spoken fluently. The French one among the Slavic languages. Slovenian is the Italian one. I remember hearing some Slovenians talking for the first time. I thought they were speaking Italian, because of the intonation, but couldn't work out why I couldn't understand it, the words sounded more like Russian.
Oh, gosh, sorry for rambling.
