Language / Dual language books..SUGGESTIONS? [10]


On that website quoted by HAL9009, you can find simple short stories with sound files and I've just started working on them now that I've finished the first year course book...

They are the only easy collection of short texts in Polish I've seen online.

Language / Verbs and vocabulary around squatting [5]

Love / foreign gays in Poland [59]

Hey mvefa!

You should use couch surfing website to contact gay people in Poland who want to host travellers and show them around! I'm going to Warsaw in the summer and have made a few friends from Poland through it!

Good luck in your travels :)

Language / dostawać/dostać vs dostawać się/dostać się [3]

Ah cool :)

That makes it clear now. Thanks Dominika!

News / Poland to ban Che Guevara image [55]

I don't think censuring the public's use of images is the way forward... that sounds like something a dictator would do... it's just an image... most people who wear it do it cause they think it's a cool image... I had a Che t-shirt for years before I knew who he was!

Next they will be banning anything that goes against Catholicism, then anything which goes against the image of the family, then anything which the government just doesn't like...

Kinda backwards, no?

Love / SOS!! I feel a little hopeless with my Polish husband... [58]

Do you have friends you can stay with in Toronto? It's important to leave the house if he is being violent with you...

If you allow him to use violence as a way of controlling the situation, then he will do it in future too. You might not have been hurt badly this time, but what if he actually USED the knife on you?!?!

You need to report him to the police (after you have taken some of your belongings and moved in with a friend/relation for a while) and take it from there.

It's terrible that men have to resort to violence so often... shameful and disgusting.

But really a forum isn't the place you can get help!

You need to get the support of your friends and relatives in Canada!!

Please take care of yourself!!

Language / Building my Polish vocabulary... [19]

learning vocabulary

Hey all!

I've been learning Polish for some time now, and the grammar has just started to click with me and it's all making sense woohoo!

But my problem is remembering vocabulary... I'm not the kind of person who enjoys (or can manage) learning long lists of vocabulary...

I meet a Polish girl every week for a language exchange but I always end up running out of words quite quickly :(

Any pointers or tips ye can give me???

Thanks in advance,
Davey

Dzięki

[Moved from]: Easy Texts to read in Polish?

Hi everyone!

I've been searching for easy texts to read in Polish but have only been able to find really advanced ones!

Are there any websites that have reading texts geared towards learners? -preferably with vocabulary sections and comprehension questions...

Thanks in advance!!

Language / verbal nouns in -nie [7]

Thanks everyone for your replies :D

I didn't make up the sentence... it's from one of the grammar drills in my book (First Year Polish) and I think it's just to make you try and create the verbal noun from the verbs given...

But it makes more sense now :)

I don't think I've ever even said such a sentence in English!

Thanks again
Davey
