Study / The reputation of the Jagiellonian University, Krakow. [52]

A three week intensive residential at the Jag costs 4400 Zloty (Travel/food not included. Exam/certificate also $100-200 extra) Not bad for the Oxford/Harvard of Poland.

Two week residential at Krakow summer school is approx $650 + travel/food.

I'm looking forward to trying both starting with the 'summer school' in october.

Life / Hepatitis C in Poland...please help. [59]

Can you really not get free treatment in USA?
It's obscene for the richest country on earth to leave it's citizens high and dry like that!
On E.R. they used to treat bagladies, hobo's and illegals. Is that pure invention for a feel good TV show?

Yeah. Advice from a sexual health organisation (Gay or otherwise) is certainly a good idea. I doubt the ambulance and quarantine scenario, he seems to feel is necessary, takes place outside of North Korea, Burma or Mughabe's Zimbabwe.

Hep C from brothels....HIV = homosexuals.

Please tell me its a joke I'm just not understanding.
This level of ignorance as we approach the 2nd decade of the third millenium is unbelievable!

Read some books. Watch some documentaries. Do what you must but EDUCATE yourselves just enough to avoid being percieved as developmentally disabled (retarded is the politically incorrect term I feel you'll understand best).

I'd put ignorance at the top of the list for helping the spread of these blood to blood infections.
it's usually the type of misinformed jackass who thinks you catch hep c from a brothel that cause the most problems.
Know what I mean, polishwoodchuck?

The UJ (Jagiellonian) actually helped develop the test and certificates for Europe wide recognised qualifications.
Unfortunately the Jag page explaining the certs is in Polish, leading to a chicken/egg type situation.

I intend to do a 2 week intensive residential in Oct, then return to Krakow on Feb 09 for a 3 week intensive Jagiellonian course, followed by the test.

PM me if you want the actual websites.

hep C survives far longer and in far more conditions than HIV.
If Hep c and HIV were animals hep would be a cockroach (virtually indestructible) and HIV would be a moth (ugly but fragile).

In Western Europe you'll have similar rights to USA (if not in Poland?) so maybe a journey into Germany for testing will help rest your fears.

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]


Jozef Pilsudski was also born in todays Lithuania but seems to be considered Polish.
Meyer Lansky's Polish birthplace had changed nationalities when the U.S government attempted to deport him in the 50/60's.
When a Nation has had it's borders changed as often and as dramatically as Polands it's not really surprising.

Thanls, polishgirltx. I knew of your first two url's (in fact my original post concerned the 2nd one 'polish courses .org, which I intend to enroll on in October).

I did not, however, know of the third. I look forward to checking it out.

Yes. I seem to remember something to do with private blood donation clinics in Nevada.

As for using drugs and eating anything you want..... remember that the liver filters poison out of everything we ingest. Some drugs can do as much damage as alcohol and eating loads of high fat food is potentially damaging.

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

I often find that racial attitudes are more a generational than national trait.

My Father says the most racist things but refuses to even accept they ARE racist statements or he is a racist.

I wonder what the average age of the Daily Express or Mail reader is?
You don't see many under 50s reading them.

before you dive in for a bi-opsy and go worry yourself half dead about paying for interferon know this.
1. It clears up naturally in many cases (I do not have the stats but it's considerable.
2. Some people live with it for decades and never even know they have it until a routine test shows up the antibodies.
3. Interferon has had hit and miss results in the past but research into genotypes is shedding some light on the reasons for this and the potential success/failure of treatment.

So maybe you have time to finish your time in Europe before you seek ttreatment as an absolute prority.

Good luck, mate.
Not that you'll need it.

Do you think for one second that immy (the imbecile) can understand the Public Order Act?

He works on the level of an internet pest.
Our generations 'telephone tough guys'.
Pathetic!

I don't have one.
I'm a 34 yr old warehouse worker looking for a two week intensive Polish language course.
The courses in Warsaw seem more reputable (Jagiellonian excluded) but who wants to spend their vacation time in Warsaw?
Krakow would offer the history and culture I love if I can find a language school that gives me confidence.

Agree to return an acre of land to Israeli's wanting citizenship for every acre of land Israel returns to the Palestinians.

Language / Learning Polish, good for beginners? [29]

Can you afford £20 for a weekly lesson?
Learning Polish by yourself from books, tapes, internet sites etc will be very hard.

In additiion to lessons (which usually come with e-mails containing attachments of pdf files - to be printed and used during the lesson. Pdf files to be printed off and used as 'homework'. And audio files to help with pronounciation) you'll need a good Polish-English, English-Polish dictionary, Basic Grammar by Dana Bielec, 301 Polish Verbs (I forget the author).

You can find a study partner at myhappyplanet.com and a teacher at myngle.com.

Despite the difficulties of pronounciation, coming to terms with a 32 letter alphabet (including 9 vowels) the real problem is the grammar.
Case endings, genders, pronouns....concepts alien to English speakers are everywhere!
