News / POLAND TO SIGN US MISSILE SHIELD DEAL TONIGHT [239]


Then why are you in agreement with a missile base that most inhabitants don't want, if it upsets the balance and could possibly make things difficult for us living here.

Please, explain to me how this agreement helps Poland.

Am I supposed to believe that there are no US ships and subs stationed off these rogue states. Ships that have the power to down missiles before they even cross the rogue country's border.

What is that supposed to mean ?

In recent years everything has been fine and dandy over here. We already have freedom. A deliberate attempt to restart the cold war is hardly productive, is it ?

Are you willing to pay the extra cost of my fuel bill, should things take a turn for the worse ?

UK, Ireland / Postage from Poland to England - is it expensive for a Brit? [6]


depends what is in it.

If I were sending two or three dress shirts or a couple of sweaters I would put them in a large envelope and send them as a letter. You are allowed to do this, and they will go by air mail.

I wouldn't say that Polish post is expensive, but you can make it cheaper for yourself, if you know the shortcuts.

Always make sure that whatever you send is registered one way or the other.

This has been dealt with on other threads.

No. Russia will win whatever the rights and wrongs. Better for it to finish quickly rather than be drawn out with fools seeking glory.

News / Train-accident Krakow, Prague, 10 dead many victims [14]

It's unfortunate that this was a new bridge.

News / Train-accident Krakow, Prague, 10 dead many victims [14]

I've seen some news footage. The bridge seems to have fallen onto the train. Only one carriage seemed to be damaged. The rest of the carriages remained upright and on the tracks. The figures for injured and dead seem to be coming down.

It doesn't look to me as though the train was travelling at high speed.

Work / british working in Poland with no language [43]


One of the things about work is that you may be doing it on your own or in an enviroment where very little is said. Work therefore might not be the best option for learning a language.

The time of year is important. You won't be doing outside work in winter.
And in Summer there are plenty students to fill in the gaps.

You didn't mention where you'll be living. A village would make travel more difficult than you might expect, if you have to rely on public transport to get to work.

Teaching English might be an option, but only if you understand deference. But there again it won't help you with learning Polish.

News / End of voice-over on foreign films in Poland? [19]


I haven't been able to get BBC Prime for ages. But the channel did have a teletext option for subtitles (in more than one language).

And even now I can choose the language on Canal +

In other words. Digital technology makes all options possible.

How many people are going to wait for a film on TV just so they can read subtitles ?

News / End of voice-over on foreign films in Poland? [19]

no mention of dubbing. If the quality of dubbing matched that of the Germans then that might be the way forward. I have found that students only watch films that they are interested in and for the most part don't use subtitles as a learning tool.

Childrens programmes are dubbed.

So it seems to me that 'Dziennik' are a little out of touch.

Might it not also be true that the level of English is more to do with teaching style than how many films have subtitles.
