Language / Polish language MP3s [24]

Can you do that? Try it and see how far you get before reaching for a dictionary

There were a lot dictionary look-ups going on, even on the early ones! I bought myself a Polish novel at the airport about six months ago. Reading that is my equivalent of climbing Everest...

It so hard learning as an adult

It certainly is. My memory is nowhere near as good as when I was a nipper.

Just found this useful link....

goethe-verlag.com/book2/EN/ENPL/ENPL-all.zip - Goethe-verlag Book2 mp3s
Quite a few phrases read out in English then in Polish. 90MB, but worth it...

Language / "Pomagac", "robic" - I know this is wrong can anyone help me? [29]

if a word ends with certain letters then a certain pattern is followed?

Yes, some of the verbs follow standard patterns. The book "301 Polish Verbs" by Klara Janecki should be fairly widely available. I can't remember if I got mine online or from a bookstore. It has the verbs in all the tenses, in perfective and imperfective forms.

Life / A bad hand a scrabble... insulting? [10]

It reminds me of the joke...
Polish man goes into an opticians...
Optician covers one eye up and says to the bloke...
"Can you read the top line ?"
Polish man says " Read it ! I know him "
Seriously though, when I first starting learning Polish I found lots of problems pronouncing words which had sequences of letters which I wasn't used to, such as Grzegorz, or Gdzie.

Love / i will visit poland to see my love [77]

i want to know howring my much money i must have

Hi toty. Many people ask are asking a similar question "how much money should I bring?". It is impossible to know. That is why you have had no answers.

Anyway, good luck with your trip to see your girl.

Love / i will visit poland to see my love [77]

why its impossiple to konw this

Different people would spend different amounts of money. When I am there I probably spend 400PLN per day plus accomodation. If you are staying and dining with friends then you won't need much money at all.

Feedback / Mods: why is my request removed each time? [36]

one request for a couple of sentences

Before that there were quite a few song lyric translation requests...
You must remember that the mods are in the US. They came online and probably saw all your requests at once. They are just trying to keep the forum balanced...

What's that got to do with anything mate?

Ok, they may not be both in the US, but all I was saying is that they aren't online all the time. They go online see a "load" of translation requests and bin some of them...

Not exactly a case for Mulder and Scully!

why was it moved to Random Chat

Random chat is where all the postings that don't adhere to the rules are moved to. Send your friends the message in English and a link to this website. Then they can get it translated!

Toty, go to Poland for a couple of weeks. Treat it as a holiday. Don't spend too much money on this girl. If you get a relationship from this visit then we will all be surprised. When you have finished college make the effort to learn Polish.

hand-held electronic translator

Good investment, mine has hangman and quiz games on it. Ideal as educational games whilst you're travelling...

Nope, it won't work for me

I could PM you a link to the files on my computer...

They are saying that you want to marry someone in the European Union. That would then entitle you to live anywhere in Europe.
