Work / Some cold, hard facts about teaching in Poland for newbies [101]

My instinct (and experience in Ireland) tells me that private lessons are the way to go for a number of reasons and from both the perspective of student and teacher - surprised that it can be "exceptionally difficult", relatively speaking, in Poland ?!

(Assuming a sensible approach to the thing that is: advertising, as Delphi said, well planned and researched lessons, flexibility etc - all common sense though I would have thought)

What exactly do you mean by "controlling taxes?"

Oh jesus.

So I take it that he did turn out to be something of a "character" then ?

That made me laugh!

I think it's just a macho cowboyish type thing. I see it in Ireland too in more rural areas. Kind of "man to man" type stance

A Pole who has spent waaaay too long in the states from the sounds of it. I think he is about 14.

Not even. English is not this fools first language.

C'mon !!

This guy was mugged and had a stroke?

So his first complaint is their lack of language skills?

Hmmm.......

Well now, what would be your wild guess as to the veracity of his claims - both of profession and of nationality for that matter?

His username and use of language is a bit of a giveaway.

You are a troll, mad and Russian.

Do you think anyone buys this sh1te from you?

Oh indeed. Duly noted Obi Wan.

What's the point here and who are you addressing this to?

You do realise that the only negativity brought into this thread was by Poles, a so called Pol-Am, a Chinese guy and a Russian (seemingly) ?

And now you.

LOL

Ooooooh Poland is soooo big and populous - what fukking age are you?

You really are pretty primitive aren't you?

Kind of proof there LOL

Nobody Irish talks about Ireland like that.

In fact only one nationality springs to mind - you've been rumbled, polesarerussian

; )

Yes, Poles have committed murder in Ireland. They have killed other Poles and they have killed Irish nationals.

Poles have also been murdered in Ireland by Irish people as well as their own countrymen.

Statistically likely and logical as there are quite a few Poles in the country so inevitably a small percentage commit serious crimes.

The vast majority of murders are Irish/Irish

What's the big story?

In fact why am I even bothering with this...

Bloody hell.

This site is nothing if not...er...interesting.

Ha ha - as if I owe you or anyone explanations about anything. Get a grip and grow up.


Yes, common sense and a realistic idea of the "greatness of Poland" seemingly.

I was right - you are "another one"

Oh sorry, my mistake, I thought you knew all about the country by the way you said:


...and sounding like some medieval warrior.

I think poor Grubas is a little confused.

Hey - I agree with Ironside about something ; )

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]


That's my experience anyway. Obviously can't speak for the country but all the Poles I have come to know since about 2002/3 ish are still here except for one couple - who went to another country rather than Poland as it happens. Still plenty of Poles I hear in the streets, cafés, shops etc. New Polish skleps opening etc.

Obviously some Poles have gone but I can't see that much evidence of it myself.

Strange deduction, but never mind.

By the way, and bizarrely this may partly give you an answer at this late stage of the game, I never claimed that there was anything "unique" or "exclusive" to Ireland - just that collectively the various elements, and the Irish version of them, combine to make "a culture" and that culture is not "the same" as Britain. That's all. That's how it all started with lodz the boat - remember?

As I said, the only way anyone can really know properly is to live in a country.

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]


ha ha - that's an order is it?

I gave you my answer in post #89 and told you that's all you were getting - did you not understand that part?

If you don't accept that, fine.

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]


Ah I see, the troller failed in his petty task so get's all defensive.


...and then resorts to vague retorts rather than face the fact that he doesn't actually know what he is talking about.


...and predictably starts getting more personal rather than accept that his posts are simply inarticulate and semi-sensical.


...and then of course leaves like a child.

Well done you utter joke.

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]


No - explain?


Oh it's unique now is it? ha ha.

Absolute rubbish. It's so unique that all you can manage to say is:

"about individual freedom and self-govern society"

Wow. I have never heard such an incisive and specific definition. It simply must be Poland you are talking about - no other country in the world could possibly have such an immediately identifiable mantra...


...with an answer that proved my point in the first place.


Eh??

You're simply trolling Ironside - a bit more subtle than most, but still a troll.

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]


Well, I know what you mean - but in this instance Ironside simply jumped in seemingly doubting the existence of "Irish culture" and looking for deifinitions - there were no stupid statements about Poland. I would like to think I am not generally guilty of that myself.

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]

Well it wasn't me anyway!

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]


As I said



Who? when? where?

I have never "gone on" about it. Not once.


What are you talking about now?

Listen Ironside - I'm done with this discussion. You are talking through your arse and expecting definitions of "unique cultures" when you can't even do so yourself.

I've already explained why I am unwilling to indulge you with detailed explanations/descriptions.

Good luck with your obsession.

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]

Puella - you are having a bad day!

By the way Ironside - see that post from Puella? apart from the "smiling" part, once more, you could probably substitute Ireland for Poland (if you were feeling particularly negative) together with half the countries in Europe.
