Do Poles speak English?

I surfed on the Internet and many Chinese in Poland said that few poles speak English.Oh~~~~My God~~~~

I can only speak English. Though i am hard learning Poland language, it's impossible for me to communicate with poles.

Do Poles speak English? Does a bear sh*t in the woods?

They do speak English... At least young people, cause they learn it at school (+ another language like German, French, Spanish, Russian, etc.) :)

what does sh*t mean? Sorry, i am not familiar with this kind of English. Forgive my stupid question.....

Do you mean poles speak English? That's great!

That is definitely true that they do, I work in the company where peopole do speak at least one language!

Many Poles speak English but not as well as many other European countries like the Scandinavian ones, Germany, Belgium, Holland etc etc

Polish ?... ^^ LoL


Maybe not older people, but young Poles learn it at school, so yeah you'll find persons speaking English in Poland ;)

Hey, Seanus is back !...


Yeah, Germanic countries...maybe because English is a Germanic language :)

i heard that languages in European countries like polish, germany, are similar with each other, just like dialects. Is that true? Do poles who have never learned Germany understand it?

well not Polish, how many languages you know?

I had the day off yesterday :) The French are quite good at English too :)

Noo ! ^^ Polish is west-slavic language, German is a Germanic language :)


Me, hum...maybe 3, 4 or 5... well, depends on what you mean by "know" :)


Please............... Have you ever heard a French dude speaking English ? :)

Chinese people usually have difficulty understanding different dialects in China. For example, Shanghai dialect is hard to understand, as well as cantonese.

Polish and German are not considered dialects but are languages although they do come from Indo European linguistic group of languages.( latin alphabet, )
They share some similarities in grammatical structures and sometimes in vocabulary but they sound even more different than the Shanghai dialect would sound to someone speaking Mandarin .

Cantonese and Mandarin would be like German and Polish.

If you speak English, no problem in big cities( no warrantee in the country side and with old people like everywhere else) in Poland and among the youth.

The Polish speak English but the English seldom speak Polish!

In Europe the English are lucky because everybody speaks their language, for them it is something obvious. ( English is definitely easier than Polish too!)

hi,i am the cantonese which was in poland when 3 mouth before
so young people there speak english

Well, OK, many of the French I've heard have lived in England for some time. What's wrong with their English?

nah, not one pole on here speaks any english. wtf???

Let's be more polite, please. Yes, many people in Poland speak English. I find when I'm polite even more people speak will speak English with me. I've been to Poland four times as a volunteer to help teach English to school children and will be going back the 5th time.

you are so sweet~~~~
