One of the first things I learned at my Polish lessons was the obvious 'hello, how are you' type stuff. And now that I have gained a bit of confidence, I have actually started using my limited skills out on the street - I live in a part of Aberdeen Scotland with a high Polish population.
However I noticed that I would get some funny looks whenever I said 'Jak sie masz?', although I always got a good response.
I eventually asked someone I was working with and she said it is not at all common to ask such a thing, and just saying hello is usually enough. Is that right? I want to get beyond just getting the words right, and have a proper comfortable conversation...
