Language / "non polish characters" [19]

Hi everyone,

As my boyfriend is polish I decided to study Polish.
I think this site will be very helpful.

I wonder after how long of studying for half hour every day would I be able to have a baisc conversation in Polish?
I learned German and Latin, so that may help I guess.And I am pretty fast.

Is it ok to write in "non polish characters" in the beginning or is that going to slow down the process?

I am driven to learn and I would love to show Szymon my love by being able to talk to him in his mothertongue...and to surprise his best friend by this summer..

Dobranoc

Polonia / Polish people in Belgium [10]

Hite,

Flemish or Vlaams is a language of his own and not a combo of dialects.
Your description may be offending Flemish people who don't speak a dialect but regular Flemish.

Just for clarification...

Language / The best way for me to learn Polish [89]

I have been learning ( more then studying) Polish for about 6 weeks now.

The word I most used was kurva....lol

I studied mandarin, and I found thiseasier then Polish. Mainly because there are few words that I can relate to. Beside jeden, dwa, trze...

But I found the wikipedia sites useful.
And for the rest I try to have my Polish boyfriend translate me all kind of words. I do the same for him in Dutch, as he is living with me in Belgium.

But one day I will be addressing my skąnzę in his native language and I am sure that will make him VERY proud.
What one does for love.......

Language / The best way for me to learn Polish [89]

mmmm yes... I switched two letters.. sigh sigh sigh...

Lyzko aka Marek : of course Mandarin is a very difficult language.
But somehow I managed to get it faster then I get Polish.
Seems like every word I learn is forgotten the next minute... but I will succeed.
I speak seven languages and studied Latin in school.
Polish will not be the language I break my teeth on .. no way ...

En ja, het vlaams is ook niet gemakkelijk eh ...

Do wizdenia...

Language / The best way for me to learn Polish [89]

Marek,

I have seen "sophie's choice".. sublime movie.

I speak fluently Dutch (Vlaams), French, English and German. Spanish, Italian and Swedish are also on my list, but i don't use them often.

I studied Mandarin and Arabic, and new greek, but I have forgotten most of it.

It just seems to me that learning a Slavic language implies a totally different approach and a lot more memorising then any other language I learned..

Oh well, I will succeed. As any Polish child can learn it , why would I fail to do so?

groeten

I am impressed Marek.I play with languages, as others do with PC's.
But still, Polish gives me grey hair....

Hungarian... THE most difficult language in he world, beside Finnish. And Albanian... good lord... you are courageous.

I used to be a flightattendant for the German airlines, and I loved the flights to South-merica , as there always as mixture of all the languages I spoke. And felt like a fish in the ocean.

Btw, what course in Polish would you suggest, kwowing that I am an auditive and visual learner?
I like repetitions to acquire my language knowledge.

By the way, my boyfriend's dad is also called Marek.

thnx

Language / Learning polish and i am not very good. [22]

I am learing from the "osetta Stone"course, and for me it works great.

One is submerged into the Polish language.... I do have good scores, but my knowledge mainly stays passive.. which is the natural first step in learning another language.

But...kocham Poslkie...

Life / Polish Radio and TV stations online? [68]

Thread attached on merging:
Inernet radio stations wanted to help with learning Polish language.

As my Polish is starting to pick up.. at least the passive knowledge ( I am at unit 4, level 1 of Rosetta stone) I am looking for internet radio stations.

Best would be a station where they mix leisure, with news.

thnx
