Language / Pronunciation difference between Ź and Ż / RZ [83]

I guess there's no problem with k and p, while rz is a little fussy. It's often pronounced as "su" in "pleasure", while sometimes as a sound similar to Czech ř as in Dvořák. I noticed many Poles often confuse it with ż...

Language / Pronunciation difference between Ź and Ż / RZ [83]

News / is the Czech Republic economy stronger then the Polish one [25]

Czech economy is considerably stronger (per capita, of course), many Poles work in CR, prices are fairly equal but Czech wages are +-50 % higher. Unemployment 16 vs. 4 % in favor of CR. Few Czechs work abroad comparing to Poles, it's partly because of higher livinf standard in CR and partly because Czechs are lazy and less enterprising than Poles.

We "dislike" each other just like other neighbors (Germans vs. French, Frecnh vs. Belgians and Brits...) but generally we are good friends :-)


... no way, man! Norway is the richest!
