History / WW2: Britain Declares War on Germany to Save Poland [290]


Maybe because Poles were considered by the Nazis as an "underrace", and the opposit for Norwegians and Swedes...why would the Poles fight for people who think they are just "sheeps"...

Yeah Russia is better, YUK !!...Most of the people here are okay with Polish people ;)

Language / Why do people want to study Polish? [90]


True, but once again, it's much easier for them as English belongs to the same "family language" as their mother tongues (German or Swedish). I studied both languages, so i know what i'm talking about.

About TV, in Sweden (Norway too), movies on TV are subtitled, so even kids can listen to the English language...and, as i already said, they start to learn English at school at the age of 6.

You're talking about German and Swedish politicians, i'm not sure you could give me many examples of French politicians...

By the way, why should everyone speak a perfect English, that's not fair :) LoL

Wow, that's so big...i'm sorry i don't see where is the war ? For you, a plane "enjoying" a trip in the German sky helped the Polish armies attacked by German tanks ? That's your definition of "war" ?...

History / WW2: Britain Declares War on Germany to Save Poland [290]


Maybe but Poland was not considered to be one of the "victors" of the war, while France was. And that's weird because French gov collaborated, the Polish gov didn't...


Hmm...see what Wikipedia says... :

"In September 1939, Germany invaded Poland in cooperation with the Soviet Union, and war in Europe followed. The French and British did not declare war at first, hoping they could persuade Hitler through appeasement, but Hitler did not respond. The United Kingdom and France declared war. During the winter of 1939–1940 there was little overt indication of hostilities since neither side was willing to engage the other directly. This period was called the Phoney War"

What liar ? No, he's true. France and England declared war on Germany, and then just waited...

Language / Why do people want to study Polish? [90]


Once again, the accent of many French sucks ;) LoL

Back to what you just said, I think it's logical, many words in English come from French, so it makes the language easier for French people. About the Germans, Dutch and Skandis, they have all Germanic languages, quite close to English, making it easier for them to learn too. Polish language has almost nothing to do with English, so it's, in my opinion, much more difficult for them...

But let's see in maybe 10-15 years, their level, now that English is taught in every school.

:)

Yeah...it's hard to say, but i quite understand...after the WW1, who wanted to start another one ? Noone, except the Germans (the Nazis, don't know if all Germans were ready to lose their lifes again...)

...

I'm not saying they were right not to do anything, but just that we are all humans...

Language / Why do people want to study Polish? [90]

Marek, i am a Parisian, and i know that French pupils are not that good at English. At least, we learn it, as in Poland, but there are not many French who are really good and can really both understand AND speak, except for those who work and have to speak English...Plus, you should hear French TV/radio, people really suck, even for pronouncing American or English music bands names...sometimes it makes me laugh, but it's a bit scary ;P We are not going to talk about football commentators... :)

Today's Poland is different than the Poland you visit in the mid'90s. English is taught at school, as well as another language (French, German, Russian, Spanish...). My whole family there speaks at least one language (apart from Polish). My grandma spoke a little German, my grandpa was fluent in German (older generations, i know...), my uncle speaks at least English, if not German too...my cousins speak French and English...i know a friend i see sometimes when i go to the Baltic sea coast, he speaks English, and a bit German, and he's only 14...i speak with Polish people on the Internet in English ;)

Of course, it doesn't mean that all Poles speak another language, but...

I also think we cannot compare western Poland and eastern Poland (except Warsaw)...

:)

What do you mean ?...I didn't say that the French were better than the English, did i ?
It was just a joke to those people who think that the Brits saved all Europe...and that the Poles didn't do anything, which is totally wrong and disrespectful.

Language / Why do people want to study Polish? [90]


Young Polish people in general learn English at school...
In Skandi, kids start learning English at the age of 6, and their TV (movies...) are usually in English subtitled in their language...Plus Scandinavian languages are quite close to English, it helps... ;)

I don't know if the French speak more English than the Poles...

:)

Language / Why do people want to study Polish? [90]


I totally agree.


I guess so :)


Not really, my mother came to France when she was a student. There she met my father, and then you know the story...No emigration for me. But Polish is the language of part of my fathers anyway ;)

Life / Kaszub .... any explanation. [10]

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]

No, once again you're wrong. And such a racist, ha, poor you.


Are you laughing at your own stupidity ? I guess so.


I live in France, and i can assure you, Polish people are much smarter and cultured than French...and I know what i'm talking about.

I'm not saying that all French are dumb, but, hum......some really are.

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]



Yeah, we can even say the second highest (if i remember well what the ranking was...)
Plus, Polish people are considered to be the most cultured in Europe.
At least, noimmigration, Polish pupils will enhance British schools level, haha.

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]


Hmm...right, so Americans are all dumb and obese people, Brits are all red-haired and as smart as David and Victoria, and all Germans are Neo-nazis ?

Am i not being generalizing a bit ?...

Feedback / The issue of [not] writing in Polish on the forums (part 2) [45]


Cause there are a lot of people on PF who don't speak Polish...But if you say something in Polish and add the translation into English, then i think it's okay ;)

I've already written in French here, you know... :)
