Language / Translations of Gadu-Gadu [158]

I didn't see anything "special" about the program

the specialness is that most of my polish friends dont want to use MSN, skype, etc.

some use gmails now (thankfuly) but all use GG - so its easier for me to learn it than all them learn the other

the program itself is basic

Work / Possibly of Moving - Life in Krakow on a Salary of € 45,000 [26]

i wouldnt say so. its another language branch. but well worth learning

i wouldnt know if its 'scary' or not BUT isn't a new school always scary anyway?

perhaps a month or two of lessons so the kids feel they can handle basic polish?

is moving to poland looking like an option

they are young enough to learn polish it seems?

there are plenty of language schools around and you get them to learn french/english/german after main school no problem. and as they are at such a young age they would not have so much difficultly with it as we would.

its an option :/

Language / Should I learn both Polish and German [147]

what i find truly interesting (and amazing) is the amount of diverse and unique language variations we have in such a small landmass! (if we look at the grand scheme of things - europe is not that big!)

News / Germans file WWII claims against Poland [198]

I have seen documentaries on the war

then you have seen no more than i have.

but there are alot of people who have actually come out and said this never happened.

sure, i know that, but you should have the smarts to know these people have 'agenda's and scores to settle. I ignore these people. you should too. to listen to them is to give them what they want. (in part)

Actually larry, they never said it didn't happen, they just believe it dodn't happen on such a large scale. They think the actual numbers of dead Jews were close to 2 million rather than 6.

a more factual quotation

#1) The invade Poland
#2) they kill, pilfer, destroy
#3) then the russians come and battle them back
#4) they loose their property that they stole
#5) the russians take it all away
#6) russians finally leave
#7) Germans want what never belonged to them
#8) Double Standard

The last two points are opinion. You have no idea that the German people 'want' poland 'back'

but its good to know you forgive them and wouldn't spit at them for no reason than for just being german.

I agreee Hugo and Akmadinajad can **** each other til the day the cows come home to roost!!!!!!!!!!!

what those two do in the privacy of their own homes is there business :)

ART for President!!!!

seems reasonable :)

From what I understand Poland used to be much bigger than it is now, so maybe we should get our land back.

russia, germany, britain could all 'say' the same :/

The Germans murdered an Uncle of mine in COLD BLOOD

A nazi, and im sorry to hear your of your families loss.

and from what I have seen WWII

How old are you? seen? unless your over 75 i expect you 'saw' nothing of WW2 sorry only the history books and the actaul people who 'saw' it. not being mean, stating the obvious.

The german people, like the polish, should consult there respective gov't you are 100% correct for issues rather than inflict randomn acts of hatred in person or on forums :/

Holacaust never happened according to some

who here said it never happened?

iwe know it happened. One of Humankind's many mistakes! liking using the atomic bomb as another.

it has to end somewhere and it wont end if you dont practise what you preach, (presuming your a catholic and were taught forgive and forget - yes it damn near impossible but trying is the key - to err is human to forgive is divine - while falling short on describing holocaust and nagasaki as 'err's the point is still present.

i forgive the crimes commetted by the english over 700 years of raping Ireland (and yes, my family too suffered loss - as the majority of the irish did)

Now I`ll go to german forum to insult somebody

eye for an eye....smart

so bitter the germans are?? again, I ask why? what could they have possibly lost
those who are still bitter, not the whole german population because I know that
not all feel that way, but those who do, what reasons could they possibly have.

exactly, again for the stats mention i should have met germans like this but have not

yes, i agree with michal,

today, polsih lessons for english seems very practical!

and with poland in the EU, there is all the more incentive for it to be taught!

we even have a polish school in Ireland now!

News / Germans file WWII claims against Poland [198]

MFW, German polling agency asked 1235 adult Germans to give their opinion on their least liked country- Poland topped the list with 23% of this opinion.
Last year, PBS,Polish polling agency asked Germans what they thought of Poland - 43% had negative feelings and 23% having positive.

you poll irish on the same thing and it would be we hate the english! but the fact is its kjust not that kind of way. we all m ay have 'feelings' neg or pos but the end of the day the majority who are surveyed would not start a war over it.

that's reserved for a select group of deviants.

Say that to a German.

sure the two of you should read it

you respond to his far-fetched posts with allot of emotion, that, if it was said in person would prob result in personal injuries to you both!!

this is why i say my last post is to you too. its not worth it over 'one fool of a took'

THEY would push us just a little more (enough) and that day we Slavs would learn that THEY need to learn. And,... THEY would get it.

GERMANY is not going to push and SLAVS are not going to PUSH back

its going to be people like you being 'teased' by fools like a german and you two are going to fight your own rebellion while the rest suffer, anti social behaviour, hate crimes, public damage, etc.

oh, and not to mention the bill for all the damage
