Language / A slow and casual method to get started learning Polish? [8]

For example, meeting up with someone for a coffee or drink once a week and just learning through interaction and conversation?

I'd suggest a polish girlfriend then. Unless, you don't have a time for that either? :)

Life / Redheads in Poland - How many? [95]

"What about the dying of hair to have a reddish tinge?"

I put a "touch" of red in my hair for about a decade or so...love it... :)

Language / "ksiegarnia" = "bookshop"? [14]

I'd call księgarnia a bookstore... :)
btw, you can set your Winows to have polish fonts. The instructions were posted in some post in the past.

Life / Polish TV on the internet?? [54]

download JLC's internet tv for free?!

Does it really work? Is it "live" polish TV or some reruns?

News / What sort of fellow is this Donald Tusk anyway? [34]

who Donald Tusk really is,

I heard him speaking on a polish radio station and he pronounces "r' in a funny way...did he grow up around the eastern border in Poland?

I heard only much, much older people saying 'r' this way...the ones who were moved from the Russian territories to the western Poland after the war. My two brothers in-laws spoke that way...well, just curious...I don't know him and i don't really know what he stands for...

Love / I reckon I've met a right plonker here - your thoughts please [44]

my recent ex had a problem with speed and cannabis

this guy tells me that he was a cocaine addict for a few years

See a pattern here? Run sunflower, run.
So many times we tend to fall in the same trap, don't we?

There are individuals who really never go back to the addiction (drugs, alcohol) and it's not fair to put this new man in your life in the same basket, but based on your experience..run.

Life / Polish art pictures [55]

A very good observation £ukasz. It's time to get sausage, vodka and bigos (great things nonetheless) out of western minds. It may take however another generation to do that. Poland is such a new kid on the block and the government is not helping. Promotions and good, positive advertisement could do wonders. Unfortunately, it is the opposite in the media. This is why you hear more about Bush or McDonald, instead of all the greatness that America is and still could be much more...

Life / Polish art pictures [55]

£UKASZ, thank you. What a beautiful art you supplied!
I'm so happy to see the deep imagination of the artist(s). The posters are absolutely stunning. So much talent. I think of all the times in the past (communist times), when so much talent was lost, not able to express themselves...

Travel / What are Your Best Poland Travel Tips? [64]

Good tips natalka, especially the dinner napkins. That's what I encountered 4 years ago...I'm disappointed, I'll find the same this spring, when i plan to go...Oh, well.

It's not about napkins anyway!
I appreciate the tips on the exchange, but luckily, i usually get a "better rate' from my family members! :)

Life / Why are the Poles picked on there is no reason to do this to them [108]

I'm Polish and I was never made fun of. Quite to the contrary. Stop feeling sorry for yourself Amirah. And, where the heck did you go to school being the only white kid? Every time I drive by a school playground, I see variety of kids. Even in some "posh" neighborhoods.
