Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]
I don't agree too much with you that we pass as "silly foreigner" if we can't speak it very good, you know? I lived in Poland for 2 years, and my Polish is almost perfect (the pronunciation), I just lack of some vocabulary, people were dropping their jaw literally when I was speaking it, I think they appreciate they effort you put on it, no matter how you speak it, if you speak it somehow just for the sake of communicating with them, then you will gain some respect, I'm saying this because people were often telling me: "it's great that you're trying to speak our language, thank you and keep it up", Btw, I would love to see a foreigner trying to speak my native language too :)
I was in the supermarket the other day and the cashier was trying to ask me if I wanted a points card, and took me a while to understand her. When I said that Polish was a hard language, she said, nie jest asz taki trudny, 'it's not that hard'. Little does she know. :)

Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]
hahahahah :D
nice!
well, I figure they appreciate it a lot because Polish is so difficult to learn and it's everyone that's able to speak, now if you speak it near perfect Polish then they might really shocked. . .no wonder then LOL
Few people were like jaw-dropping after listening my Polish too xD I'm from Brazil by the way :)
I guess I wouldn't have learned this good if I hadn't lived there for more than 2 years, which I did xD
Other thing is, I find very respectful when you're in another country and at least try to speak this country's language, don't ya think so?
:)
Ingrid:
- they do appreciate when you (non-polish) try to speak their language
Is that why 2 Polish men literary smashed into a lamppsot staring at me in utter shock upon hearing me speak perfect Polish in Oxford- England? Laughed so hard I nearly pissed myself!

Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]
I love Poland which I consider my homeland so here are some things I found a little different from my country of origin:
- taking shoes off before entering the house; it's so nice, but some ppl actually already told me it was ok to keep them on, even though, I took them off too! :)
- whenever I visited someone in Poland they ALWAYS offered me something to drink, water, vodka, coffee, etc. . .
- having to buy your tickets in those Polish kioskis and when you enter the bus you need to put it in some sort of little box and then this little box gives you back
- i often saw many drivers hitting the side-walks while parking their car, LOL :P
- many poles manage to drink warm beer, how's that possible?! =/ other thing is, if someone in Poland offers you something e.g: Beer, just drink it. . otherwise they will insist until you drink at least once sip of it, [are all poles like that?], I talked to some and they to me is quite normal to insist that you should drink lol :D great, uh? But what if you don't drink at all? =/ in my case there was no problem, i love drinking hahaha yes, and Polish beer has a higher percentage of alcohol, that mean I get drunk much faster :D
- they seem to drink tea or coffee all the time
- for the 2 years and a half that I was in Poland I saw ONCE one black person there, I was freaked out, not because I'm a racist but because I was so used to see ONLY white people, that when I saw once guy once I was REALLY surprised, and started to point, (oh no) now I understand why Poles consider blacks exotic o.O
- having to wait the streets lights go green for pedestrians, even if there's no car coming your way, I've heard, you might get a fine if you attempt to do so when those are red for pedestrians
- having the name day as most important rather than the birthday, though my name is German :(
- taking shower once a week LOL :)
- listening to the word kurwa all the time ahaha mostly said by men. . . 5 out of ten words lol
- putting on fat on the entire face before going out in the snowy cold winter of
-20C degrees :D uhullll \m/
- drinking shots of vodka in the winter to get warm :D yuuupie!
- in the summer everyone wants to get a tan
- just about everyone has a great sense of fashion
- the toilette is separate from the bathroom
- on Easter they eat cooked egg and pray
- they do appreciate when you (non-polish) try to speak their language
- they always talked in Polish to me thinking I was a Pole lol
- the doors open inwards lol, nice!
well I can't remember anything else being so soooo different from where I'm from, but I love that experience as I as consider myself Polish too.
let's post more stuff, people!
omg, i forgot to mention, the wedding ring i use is on the right hand :)
very nice!

Life / Understanding Communication and Body Language of Polish People [13]
Volume during Conversation
It is not only in terms of gestures that Polish people are outwardly expressive. If you ever had a chance to watch Polish people speak, you probably wondered why they were arguing. Or maybe while speaking to a Polish person you felt offended by his or her vocal disagreement with you. Do not worry. It is normal during a conversation for Polish people to be vocal and expressive, as they like to be heard.
In conclusion, the above are only some of the ways body language is used in Poland. Hopefully by reading about some of these customs, you will be better suited when you visit Poland, or in dealing with Polish people outside of the country.
LOL
That's true, sometimes. . . I think people sound angry or something like that but NO, that's just that they are; TOO EXPRESSIVE! I got used to it, already!
Nice :D
