UK, Ireland / Any poles here who live in north west of England ? [49]
I don't know why, but strong Polish accents learning English with the word 'Mate' sounding more like the word 'Might'
sounds a bit out of place. However, here in ************* it sounds perfectly normal for the locals.
On the other hand, everyone has to be able to pronounce the common gretting 'Alright?' as a very brief 'awoi!'.

It really depends on various factors.
Enough Irish don't get on with other Irish, Scots the same, ditto the English.
North and South Welsh aren't always best of friends.
Otherwise, in Britain, we're like one big happy family.
There are loads of brilliant and beautiful accents across the British Isles.
Even the West Midlands doesn't always sound hideous!

Life / Polish Kids - Polish speaking? Bilingual? only English? [56]
Brains expand to fit the knowledge they contain. If it is clear which language is to be spoken to whom and when, then children speaking more than one language works. I did hear something on the radio (BBC Radio 4 - Home Truths) a couple of years ago about a family where all the father's conversations with the children were in German, despite the fact they were English. Because all conversations were in German, they were never confused as to whether to use English or German. He spoke to his wife in English. I can't remember clearly, but I think the mother spoke to them in French.

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]
It was a fairly unexpected thing to have happened, but it did.
I have also been to Poland and met people in pubs who were keen to practice their English. This was not in a big city. There was no stag party.
I might add that one was a woman who used to go out with a Polish man. Another was a man who had worked in Czech and had visited Poland on a few occasions.
Most English people seem to be fairly indifferent to Poles. There are a few who are xenophobic - they are probably xenophobic in the direction of any nationality. There are also some people who have a real admiration or at least some interest in Poland and the Polish.
If I want to make up a story, I'd be writing novels, not posting bullsh1t on a forum. I leave that to other people.
Crikey! I've now got a home town in Poland. Which one is it?
Urmmm....Yes i'm sure thats really what happened Osiol!!....and you think the English have such a high opinion of the Poles that they all go rushing up to them every time they open their mouths??....Dream on dude!!

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]
Last night, three of us went into a Hertford pub. Two of us English, one Polish. It wasn't a great pub - just a few old blokes, no music. We were on a bit of a pub crawl, so we thought we'd have one pint then go. After a few minutes, word of a Polish man amongst us became known and suddenly there were about three different people talking to him in Polish. They were all English, but each had their own bizarre reasons for knowing some of the language. None of them spoke very good Polish, but what a warm welcome to an otherwise dull public house!

It was me in Wyspianska's dream. I crept off in the night, entered her dreamscape and moved all the furniture round when she wasn't looking. Then there was an interesting Lady Godiva moment that I won't say any more about. Not here anyway. The only uniform I remember seeing was on a slightly startled traffic warden.

There are laws against ageism. It seems suprising that a college can deny training on the basis of age.
Your posts have sounded very negative. Being positive, despite how bad things might be, is the best way of getting somewhere.
Nothing is to be gained from compaining about other people and forces beyond your control.
Do something about your own situation before you moan about others making the most of what is available to them.
Keep trying to get a job - you will get there. You must leave negativity behind.

There's far more to training than a degree. A degree is not a very good example of training.
There are short-term courses in just about anything.
Local colleges do loads of stuff, including evening classes.

When I say I want recipes, I always Osiolise everything,
so give me an Italian recipe, it will end up tasting unmistakably (to me) like something of my own.
Some of the things I ate in Poland but never learnt the names for would be good.
