I am learning the lanuguage and I think it is the most beautiful language in the world. I am not polish but wish I was but I am picking up on the language and hope to master it.so how many love their languages.
How Many of you love the Polish Language?
it's ok. :)
I don't think it's inherently beautiful. I don't love it. But I'd still like to be able to string a few more words together properly. It depends on who is speaking it, what they are saying and how well they have mastered the language. That means I love my own language more than perhaps I should.
I agree with Osioł. Russian sounds nicer to me. English is far more melodic and nicer on the ear, IMHO.
Why do you wish you were Polish?
russians nicer in songs but I love to hear Polish poetry ,I know many dont like the film but I can happily just listen to Wajdas Pan Tadeausz.
I don't wish I was Polish but I do love the language (and wish I were significantly better at it in some areas).
One problem is that _really_ advanced courses for non-natives essentially don't exist.

so why are you getting on wulfheirs case then?
Bo jestem upierdliwy.
no bad language or writing in other than English out of the translations sections chum.
Upierdliwy means nagging isthatu2. Do u like drinking Pan Tadeusz isthatu2? It's a super vodka
And there's a difference between being fluent in most ways (and wanting to be even more fluent) and being ignorant and helpless. I've seen a few foreigners who didn't even try to learn Polish and that's a choice that doesn't lead anywhere good.
Upierdliwy isn't so bad isthatu2. Pierdoły is OK 2, even though it has the stem pierdolić. Ja pierdole starts to move in the direction of vulgar but it's not that hard either.
Its such an education this forum,keep it up guys,thanks :)
Cant say Ive come across the drink though S',at least,not that I can remember :)
btw S' is it me or does Upierdliwy sound like some sort of drunken Scots insult? :)

actually it was 100% vulgar and started moving in the direction of non-vulgar only in the recent years because of some youth slang, but I wouldn't use it in most circumstances anyway :)
Upierdliwy, hmm...I'm trying to place that insult :)
Ja pierniczy, or sth like that, appears milder

I love the language, I have a hard time speaking it though.

nagging, annoying, trying.
This is not a vulgar expression, but certainly not polite either.
Ja pierniczy, or sth like that, appears milder
Ja pierniczę.
I'd say this is pretty much as mild as "upierdliwy". The meaning (as posted) is different though.

loving Polish language? I stared understand it more when in HS we were reading "Pan Tadeusz" and others....lots of poetry... then, i started to see it in a different light... but, it's my language....my county's history, my heritage, my culture... it's in my blood... so, yes, I love it, because i understand it...
my wife is polish and i am about to finish my second semester. I have created a website but have so much more to add to it. Polish realy is a difficult langauge. But slowly but surely i am making headway! languagelearninglab.com

I hear that :) I'm taking private lessons and it's definitely a complicated language. Fun, but very challenging.
I dont get it when people say it sounds sexy ect...after listening to it when Ive been there I always think that a fight is going to break out...Polish people sound really angry when they speak...LOL...no offence guys..
I half hearted tried to learn, picked on some stuff but I have no real reason to bother to learn so gave up...

I disagree :P It's nice to me...except for some words........ and none taken
IMO it souund a lot less harsh than German
....quitter ;)

Cheeky monkey, I gave a shot, I even mastered rolling my r's and doing that (like ya gonna cough up flem) harsh sound..
Hmmm German isn't that bad...try listening to a couple of africans jabber on...now thats bad!
You can beat listening to French...hmmmm even ugly French blokes can get laid with an accent like that ROLF :)
Advanced courses do exist, but only if you go to Poland itself (from experience) There is an excellent school in Sopot that teaches Polish as a foriegn language to English speaking people.(its expensive but well worth it)
Compared with Russian, Polish sounds rather excitable, almost feverishly upbeat in comparison with that of a viscous, slow-moving river which Russian often resembles, whereby every syllable seems drawn out for ultimate weight of meaning.
I was recently watching Eisenstein's 'Alexander Nevsky' with the late great Nikolai Tscherkassov as Nevsky. He was practically declaming each line of each phrase for rhetorical emphasis.
Polish actors appear to do this far less.
I find Polish especially beautiful however!

As if there is a language called African and it sounds really horrible.
If I knew the Polish for 'Get a life', would I start to love the language?
Even though I don't love the Polish language, I obviously like it enough to want to learn it.
French sounds nice when spoken by a lady, but for me: no thanks.
German sounds nicer than the usual stereotypical view of it, but I really don't like the sound of Poles, Slovaks and Lithuanians trying to speak German.
Now I do like Portuguese.
I love the language not only because I'm fluent and its my history but because it just sounds different from other languages. It's hard to learn from what I hear because of all the pronounciations and spellings but it's well worth it to learn.
I was learning German at one point..now that's just a harsh language ha ha.

I don't love the language. Too many sz cz rz etc...
It's not as ugly sounding as German but still pretty bad.
I always hear people saying that English is an ugly language because it doesn't adhere to rules as much as languages such as Italian and French where most verbs end in the same letters.
I HATE the sound of Portuguese! A few of my closest friends are Porkchops and when I hear them speak it sounds to me like lazy Spanish (words sound slurred). Plus, my friends mother is this big, fat, evil woman that would refuse to speak to anyone that came over in English because she wanted us to think that she didn't understand but then we'd always find her at the door of my friend's room eavesdropping on our conversations.
