Travel / Beautiful film of Lublin [6]


I have heard that the Polish Course at the catholic Uni in Lublin is as good as that ran at the jagiellonian but about half the price.

Anyone know much about the school and/or course?

UK, Ireland / 2 years in London, maybe it's time to go back to Poland? [60]

I feel like that after a weekend in London...and I'm English!
It's a bloody awful place.

Maybe you miss home?
Maybe you just need a change of scene?

Returning home after years away can be a massive anti-climax, so do not use selective memories of your home town/country to build a perfect place that never really existed.

Try to remember some of the things you hated about it.

Love / Attending a Polish wedding on my own (I'm English) [25]


It's scientific fact!
96.3% of bridesmaids have unprotected sex with complete strangers on the night of being at the wedding.

Is that the only qualification?
After reading a biography of Osama bin Laden I feel I know him 'kind of well'. The British Royal family are constantly being discussed by the UK media, so I feel I 'kind of know' them. I'v kept pedigree Bull Mastiff's my entire adult life so 'kind of' know them BUT SEX IS OUT OF THE QUESTION because:

1. My partner must be a human
2. Female (I'm a hetro male)
3. Young enough to be several years from a bus pass
4. Old enough to be several years from a bus pass
5. Attractive (imho)
6. Not the worlds most wanted terrorist, a member of any royal family (especially the Al Saud's) or a dog.

Nie rozumiem po polsku (I don't understand Polish)

For easy phrases you should download PIMSEURS POLISH ONE.
My friend downloaded it for me (I'm not good with computer stuff).

I'm sure someone could tell you how to get it for free as a download.

Dear me!
What a blatant attempt to provoke the racism of inequality in replies.

"If he can wear a turban on a motorbike why do I have to wear a helmet...... coming over here shaggin' our food and eating our women.........I couldn't get a job in Poland.....something about me being retarded but they get jobs in England........ real men beat their women with clubs.............."

Who do you think you are kidding?

The Sun. They tend to show bias, occasionally.
The woman was scammed into working for £3 per hour. That should have been the headline. Not the fact she was Polish and spoke poor English.

It's just another anti-immigration story the media constantly uses to fuel hysteria.

Pat yourself on the back. Your helping those charity cases who cannot help themselves. The 'ethnics'.
Alternatively try to avoid distictions based on race. Now that is radical!

Americans seen strangely uniform in these matters. 'Lose your virginity after the prom and behave like your in GREASE'.

No, Simmy. I'm English.
I'm trying to learn Polish and I'm planning on taking a two week intensive, residential course in Krakow in October.

I enjoyed my school years and neglected my studies......so now I do physical work that I hate!

Apply yourself. Learn medicine. Become a Doctor. Earn some money. SAVE SOME LIVES! Fantastic!!!

Work / Moving to Poland in 3 weeks to study! [30]

I'm jealous of you, Simmy.
Your life is about to become one huge adventure of new experiences and learning!

LEARN POLISH.
I'm sure you'll find a basic Polish course in Poznan.
If you spend 6 years in a place and do not learn the language then something is not correct.
Good luck.

You will meet English who are racist, nasty and unpleasant but do not let these idiots stop you from keeping trying to get to know the natives.

Language / Polish Language Exams [4]

Jagiellonian Uni, Krakow, (in partnership with Lubjiana, Slovenia) have developed Polish language exams that are recognised throughout Europe.

Prolog list some details on their website (hurra.edu.pl).

It's part of a larger plan, a European Framework (the full title of which escapes me).
'SOCRATES' in another title relating to these initiatives and examinations.

I knew I'd asked about it before but couldn't find it!

I seem to forget 75% of what I learn and it only sticks after several attempts.


I'm very happy with my teacher. She really pushes me.
For the first few months we've been concentrating on beginner theory/basic vocab but now she's making me converse with her and actually use what I have learned. The pronounciation can be problematic but I feel I'm making real progress.

Like karate Kid doing all that cleaning and waxing floors....then when he thinks he's learned nothing Mr Miaggi shows him just what he's learned

I find your maison d'etre ridiculous and pointless.
It's your kind of left wing hug ins that are leading to a resurgence of right wing popularity.

I dare say your salary comes from public funds.
I'm so happy that my taxes go towards something as useful as thinking up bogus awards for people who are considered unwelcome by the vast majority of the population. I'm speaking about non-EU citizens.

I have never worked with an African who was anything other than lazy. Really lazy!
And we only have to study how well the Asains have assimilated over the last 3 generations (suicide bombs and honour killing their daughters for smiling at a white man).

Language / Help with Sentence Structure! [16]

I'v found an answer to my original question in 'Polish Grammar in a Nutshell' by Oscar E Swan. It's all free over the net from the Uni of Pittsburgh.

Basically I want to learn when an adjective should follow the noun. It's usual for the noun to follow the adjective but there are exceptions

Zimna Woda (Adj-No)
Woda Mineralna (No-Adj)

When dealing with titles such as 'National Bank' the noun comes first.

I'm trying to learn Polish, dude.
I'm not sure whether your being sarcastic but mineral water is just bottled water.

Can't they make inclusion even more exclusive by having

Merged: When do adjectives preceed nouns....

My latest assignment is 2 lists of adjectives and 1 list of nouns.
I must 'connect the adjectives with nouns in a logical way - some should go before a noun, some after.

duże------zupa-------polski
zimna-----woda-------nowe
mineralna--kurs--------nowoczesny

Ezample- zimna woda mineralna.

So what governs the correct placement of adjectives?

WELL?
