Love / THE TYPICAL POLISH WOMAN? [148]


ha ha ha....I use public transport alot....
just nasty comments about the personal appearances of whoever is around....I guess they know most English don't understand them so they can say what they like...maybe they are just homesick.:)

Love / THE TYPICAL POLISH WOMAN? [148]


sorry wyspi, maybe not for you personally, but I have heard and seen some amazing personal nastiness from Polish women, esp when they think ppl dont understand them....absolutley INCREDIBLE!

Love / Polish guy broke this black womans heart, now he wants me back....what do I do?? [27]


I am not being rude but are you sure this was the reason?

yes yes yes and a thousand times yes..

Language / SŁUCHAĆ, or PRZYSŁUCHIWAĆ SIĘ? [53]


haha fairy goot!..:)
You make your best effort to say to something in Cherman, you get that lip curling smug sneer and,
"Vy don't you say it in Inglish???"

Language / SŁUCHAĆ, or PRZYSŁUCHIWAĆ SIĘ? [53]


Guess it's the price we pay for English being International language...:)

Life / 5 cool things about being Polish dude/dudess? [39]

this is rubbish...people are people, all different,nationality not the most important.

absolutely agree Foxxi...:)

News / Child with Polish ex, is 275 Euros a normal amount for child maintenance? [53]


yeh but did he? I really think he should make sure it's his first. Then pay the minimum if it's his. I bet she has one of those t shirts saying GOLDDIGGA, and a fake tan. Oh ok u agree, cool...:)

Language / SŁUCHAĆ, or PRZYSŁUCHIWAĆ SIĘ? [53]


Yes I do see your point!!
Perhaps we could see it as TWO languages?...;) Like Solarino's "TWo headed Janus, facing to east and west" (Merchant of Venice)

Language / SŁUCHAĆ, or PRZYSŁUCHIWAĆ SIĘ? [53]


interesting....funny about the Scandi's and Dutch!


Ummm...for real? Do you intersperse your conversation with "quotes and witticisms" from DWEMs? Wow.....er...we must meet for coffee some time..:)

My point was more that English for international communication is everybody's and anybody's really. If you want sparkling erudite repartee, go to ......um....not sure really, like Harvard or somewhere...;)

History / Western Europe and America vs Russia WWII - chances of Poland being saved [494]



OKkkkkk...:)

Language / SŁUCHAĆ, or PRZYSŁUCHIWAĆ SIĘ? [53]


yeh but we need to open our minds to English as an International language. People who have learnt English to the level where theyare confident enough to teach it are probably better qualified to help another learn it than a "native" speaker. we need to stop being so provincial in our thinking, ppl dont need idioms and phrasal verbs, they need INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH, the language of Microsoft and air traffic control., etc

Love / CULTURAL DIFFERENCE/PROBLEMS IN MIXED POLISH-UK MARRIAGES [34]


no I dont think so, you are probably right.

Love / CULTURAL DIFFERENCE/PROBLEMS IN MIXED POLISH-UK MARRIAGES [34]


Ach y fi (sorry about sp.)
Its YOUR language Welshguy......but it could be tricky to insist without making Welsh language a "weapon".....also this is YOUR kid not your mother inlaw's..(rolls eyes at mother inlaws) Maybe she should learn some English?..:) I suppose she will chill out over time?

As for not speaking Welsh with your parents in Wales...well she really can't have it all ways..!

Lots of mums are overprotective and yes I do think Polish mums can be a bit precious..at least your boy has you to balance things out somewhat

Love / CULTURAL DIFFERENCE/PROBLEMS IN MIXED POLISH-UK MARRIAGES [34]


maybe you could just speak Welsh to your kid when your wife is not there...even if it means making some specific "Welsh time", although I am sure you are busy....

There is a book a friend of mine had called "Raising a bilingual child" which had practical advice on when and where to use which language.....I can find out the author if you like, but I am sure u can find it online. Iacchi dar.

Food / Murzynek - Traditional Polish Cake with Chocolate Glaze [12]

Well I don't speak Czech ( sorry) but who says this word is not "racist"? And why?
Surely it's less about the word itself and more about tone and feeling and context?

For example many ppl will argue the toss about the word "paki" in a kind of faux - naif, wide eyed way, saying ridiculous things like..."Oh but we dont mind being called Aussie or Brit, so why are Paki's complaining?"

Lovely cake by the way I am gonna make it tomorrow! Any more Polish cake recipes?

Life / Wonderful Poland.......but the attitude of Polish people [150]

Possibly

UK, Ireland / Polish Spitfire shoots down BNP [63]


agree.....and worse too.....:(

However theres a bit more to it than "a sense of pride and dignity" ...I used to buy into that, but after nine years of dealing with... abusive child minders who are no better than modern day baby farmers, psycho au pairs, profit making "playschemes" who don't give a toss about children and have pound signs ringingup in their eyes, a Child Support Agency with NO TEETH, (etc etc need I go on....there is alot more...) I decided to chill for a couple of years and take welfare while my kids still need me.....and I really dont like being put down for this by smug young workers who probably have no grasp at all of what people are up against.(phew!)
