Language / Things Polish people who speak English language say [180]

Actually, I was speaking more along the lines of grammatical errors, sorry for being unspecific. I do plan on searching the forum for it, but if anyone feels like linking me or possibly even answering here, I would be much obliged.

What are some common errors that Polish people make when learning to speak English? Perhaps this can give me more of an insight as to the differences between the two languages.

Genealogy / Jakubek Perski and other Polish Names [3]

Hi! I'm a writer, and I'm currently authoring a short story about a Polish Jew during the WW2 era. I have a number of questions.

How does the name Jakubek Perski sound? Is Jakubek only the diminutive form of Jakub, or can my character introduce himself as such ("Perski Jakubek" would be proper in that era, correct)? CAN a person introduce themselves in the diminutive, rather than their proper name? Any suggestions for other names would be welcome, but please remember that they must be 1) from the Old Testament and 2) a popular or at least a not uncommon name for teens to early twenties in 1940 (as in, named in the 1920s).

Any and all information on the happenings in Poland during WW2 would be much appreciated. I'm well versed, but unfortunately, my vantage point from this era on the other side of the pond is most certainly lacking.

Thank you in advance!
