Love / Best Man's role at Polish Wedding. [14]

well i have been to Polish wedding and the best man, done nothing actually, i was very surprised, no looking after rings, no speech, no toasts... i actually wondered what he was needed for at all..

Good Luck / cheers = Na Zdrowie!!! then down a neat vodka shot and make sure to maintain your composure afterwards.

UK, Ireland / Manchester - Question - living standard for Polish migrants. [29]

Hey thanks BubbaWoo and Lady in Red .....for trying to put the record straight on Belfast....Its a great place to live. Yes we have a few rough neighbourhoods, that some trouble has happened in, but every city in the world has those. The vast majority of Polish people have never seen or experience trouble here, you just have to be a little street wise and stay away from the 2 or 3 bad areas and don’t live in the very very cheap rented accommodation there, (its cheap for one reason because no one wants to live there)

Merged: Advice on learning the polish alphabet

Hi
Just wondered if someone could offer some advice on learning the polish alphabet. I think this maybe the key to helping my reading skills of polish if i can pronounce every letter correctly. My speaking is getting good now but my reading relies on remembering pronunciation and its not always good. My Learning CD doesn't practice the alphabet or letter sounds maybe there would be a mp3 i could down load of the internet? and listen to over and over again.
