Life / Polish Train Travel - Scary? [101]

yes be careful; my gran was robbed like 3 times =// I feel much safer travelling the trains in Canada. I've never been robbed here; we leave our car doors unlocked, garage usually unlocked, some time our house is unlocked =P we never encountered a robbery here...just different here :)

every time I leave to Polska I worry about them robbing me :P hehe but despite that I still love going there :D is just different. I love travelling in trains in Poland (haven't been robbed yet well maybe because I didn't travel alone? don't know?) :) I like to watch the green land passing by :)) it is so pretty!

Well to be honest; I'm not sure 100% on what you're really indicating on here...?? All I asked you if could please re-explain to me on what you meant; is just wasn’t clear for me. Sorry =//

I am not judging anybody here; I am stating what I’ve seen here and heard from others (the Ukrainians themselves too). I, personally, could not care less! =P I get along with everybody else easily....Ukrainians or not lol :))

...but again could you please enlighten me here? On what exactly you were trying to say?

Language / My reading and writing is awful - POLISH IS HARD TO LEARN [13]

Spelling would be my weakness :( (another thing it is hard-er for me because I lost some hearing (from an illness) as a child; so...I would have a hard time hearing the soft words like s, sz, ...etc. Polish was my first language before coming to Canada when I was about 6.

I can read...I just need more practice on writing with tricky letters that I can't always hear well (that would be my main concern).

Language / My reading and writing is awful - POLISH IS HARD TO LEARN [13]


I'm pretty much the same here :P I can speak Polish no problem. I can read but my writing is not so great! I will be practicing on my writing soon :) my dad promised me that he would teach me :D (since I'm almost done with school) soo..I'm looking forward to that!

Life / The nations Poles don't like (stats) [55]


I think you meant to "quote" me :)

I am confused by what you are trying to say here? that it's my fault?? Could you be more clear here? if you don't mind, thanks..

Life / The nations Poles don't like (stats) [55]

You should try reading the history behind these "reasons" :)) I know I was a bit surprised too. I know some Ukrainians in Canada don't like us. They say Poles controlled Ukrainians (back in like the King's day in Poland). Which I don't get it fully because at that time Russians wanted to take over Ukraine...The Polish King at that time; said ok you can join us but just follow our rules...Ukraine joined Poland (but not to be a part of Poland) just the Polish King ruling over them too; so that Russia doesn't take over the country Ukraine. They felt more safe with Poland at that time (Poland was powerful).

So I guess not everybody were happy being under control of the Polish King.

During the Great World War; Ukraine were with Russia (part of Red Army?) they helped them; killing Poles. I know this because one of my grandfather's brother's whole family were killed by Ukrainians during the war....so I would assume the # of these Poles still don't like them because of that history.

Love / Will he have an affair with me? [17]


Are you crazy?? Do you seriously want to "break up" someone else's marriage? I hope this isn't for real...because I would find it absurd & disgusting...

I just don't get women or even men like these...what are they thinking?? don't they think of their family? their children? (of course not; because they're only thinking of their own needs without even caring for hurting others)...please stay away...I still can't believe people would do something like this...just outrageous to even think of doing something like this...

even if you say this might be "his decision"...please use your own brain here instead...be someone smarter here & at least use your heart...as fishstick posted: "...Don't break up happy homes..."

Love / Confused English man: is she stringing me along or is she confused? [62]

3 years is pretty long; I mean I can understand maybe she thought "something else" or maybe has other issues but she can't just play along with another person's feelings...you know?? this isn't just about "her". What I am trying to say; she led him believe into something...now just dreading on? or whatever she's doing now? doesn't look good to me; pretty immature on her side =/ she should be honest; be a grown up...realized she may be hurting another person here..she can't play his feelings (this guy is confused; phoning her for 3 yrs, came to Poland just for her...how much can a guy seriously do? wait longer? at least some honesty would be a nice gesture on her part)...I'm not really liking it...she need to be more mature on that part...I don't know...

Love / Confused English man: is she stringing me along or is she confused? [62]

If I were you; I'd confront to her & ask her "what's the deal here?" be straight forward.

I am sensing that she is afraid to do that =/ just don't waste your time with her. She doesn't know what she want & probably not interested.

Life / Looking for a Polish hiphop artist... [19]

Life / Looking for a Polish hiphop artist... [19]

Life / Looking for a Polish hiphop artist... [19]

I don't remember the lyrics...:(( I just remember the lyrics has closely relating about the day in the country, about the country you're living in it...the guy is rapping walking through the streets on a sunny day showing people on streets enjoying the day, a video go back to his studio (him recording the song), it is a nice slow rap video :))

ah! I don't think I will ever find this song :(( I've been looking through all over...I guess I should just give it up...:'(

I'm not sure if that is him =// the guy is bald in the video (he isn't slim more like built, big guy I would say)...he wore a track pant in the video...casual sporty like...

but what is the guy's name in the pic?

Language / (part 2) Polish Language Pronunciation - Sample Words and Phrases [311]

Merged:How would you pronounce the name "Lila"?

Hi,

I am trying to figure out; how would a Polish person pronounce the name "Lila"?

In English; Lila would be: "Lie-la"

I want something in Polish that will sound like "Lie-la" how would you spell it in Polish way for "Lie-la"? so that my Polish relatives can pronounce the name as in "Lie-la" not "Lee-la"

Thanks! =)

Work / The qualifications for teachers in Poland? [101]

Thanks :)

Do I need to get a master degree in Poland? or can I just get it here - in Canada?

pedagogy would be translated as "education"? sorry I'm not all familiar with that word.

I might as well get a master degree in education. that would be the samething? I hope so!
