Language / Should I learn both Polish and German [147]

I can tell you from a personal expirence that learning Polish is extremly difficult, yet I think you should focus on it, because it is more widly spoken in Poland

Genealogy / Anyone Else 1/2 Polish??? [58]

Y'all are so friendly on here!

Heres my story:
My mom lived in Janow (small town near Lublin; About 2 hours from Warsaw) all her life until she was 23. Then She moved here with her cousin and his wife, who then introduced her to the man who is now my dad. It's a good story if you ask me! But I am for sure 1/2 Polish, 1/2 American, no doubt about it!

Also, I know the basics of Polish. Very, Very basic.

My kids (12 and 11) feel much happier when they are around other bilinguals/bi-culturals.
It's a shame you didn't learn Polish from your mom - I've got a Polish doctor friend in England who's not speaking Polish with her kids, and they're lost when they come to Poland. Her parents had to learn English (because they were desperate).
It's a tough language, but not impossible to learn.

Well, I have 2 aunt and uncles living here who speak Polish all the time, and when I do go to PL, (ive been 3 times) i usually pick up on it. my mom and i speakl some of the basic polish, yet ive got to focus on school now. during the summers though, i get tons of practice. i also have 3 cousins, and one who is my age lived in poland until she was 7, so she teaches me some stuff. I just find all the grammer the hardest. i know the basic form of some words, yet when I say it it is bad grammer in Polish. So confusing!

You mother came to US as a citizen of Poland, so you are also - ask for Polish Citizenship and you will be 100% American and 100% Polish

Cool! and , Dzienkuje!

Genealogy / Poland- Stories from the Ancestors Homeland [20]

Thats because of the good old Polish hospitality and generosity. Why do you think we set an extra place at the dinner table during Xmas? (Well hopefully most people still do, my family does even in the US)

My mom is Polish, but my dad isn't, but we still do (We live in Oklahoma)
