Language / Past and future tense examples in Polish [19]

Me :P

I'm just trying to learn ,the sentence was taken out of the "Polish In 4 weeks" book ,but the question about what to say for past is mine.

You have any sugestions for what would be better? Or am i correct in the sentence i typed?

Language / Past and future tense examples in Polish [19]

I was looking at this sentence last night:

...........nowy projekt w przyszłym tygodniu.

The verb to put in is "zaczynać".

I know the correct answer is "zaczynam" ,but does one use the same word for future and past?

What if i where to say "I started a new project last week." ?

Would "Zaczynam nowy project w ubiegłym tygodniu." be correct?

News / Air-show accident in Poland [81]

Two pilots were killed performing aerial acrobatics at an air show in Poland on Saturday when their aircraft collided head-on in front of thousands of spectators.

ca.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2007-09-01T173519Z_01_L01205370_RTRIDST_0_NEWS-POLAND-ACCIDENT-COL.XML&archived=False

This is really not what one wants to see at an airshow.
Condolances to the families of the pilots.

Language / "Jest Mi" vs "Jestem" - the difference [11]

If i have done my homework correctly i think the verb "byc" is bendt like this:

ja jestem ,ty jestes ,on(ona,ono) jest, my jestesmy ,wy jestescie ,oni(one) sa.

Sorry for not having the polish letters.

I could be wrong ,but i think Jestem is "I am" and Jest mi means "there is me".

Love / Techniques for meeting Polish girls [68]

Hey man, just go out and strike up a converation, they are just human like you and me. If you have been picking up girls before there is no difference in Poland than anywhere else :)

And, if you ask them what they like ,you will probably get the best answer. Much better than you will get from anyone on this forum.

Good Luck on your hunting :)

I see your point, but i would have liked that the coarse would show both forms, formal and informal.
