This paper presents a study on the realization of speech rhythm in native and non-native Polish. The paper examines the usefulness of the $\%V$-$\Delta C$ and nPVI-rPVI metrics for rhythm analysis in native and non-native speech, alongside their efficiency in capturing speaker idiosyncrasies in the realization of rhythm. Additionally, these metric scores are used to investigate the effect of the speakers’ L1 (German or Korean) on the realization of speech rhythm in Polish.
