Study / Bachelors in Civil / Mechanical Engineering Degree in Poland [39]

Merged: Mechanical Engineering Universities in Poland, Erasmus Programme

Which Universities in Poland have good programs where I can earn a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering? Polytechnika Warszawska has every engineering degree besides mechanical from what I can see... Any others anyone know about? AGH?

My final goal is to try and get my masters in Automotive Design in Germany (Aachen University most likely). I could get my bachelors there but I don't know anyone Germany and I have family and friends all over Poland (not to mention i speak it).

It would make sense though to study cars in Germany... what do you guys think?

Work / Part time English speaking jobs in Krakow? [5]

Hey guys I am going to be studying in Krakow in a year and I was wondering if I would be able to find a part time job where I may use my english. My Polish is decent and basic but I can't use advanced vocabulary yet. I was thinking maybe an international hotel in Krakow? I love travel so maybe something at the airport in Krakow? I am going to study business and this job isn't so much about making money but more about building my resume for the future. Thank you!

Law / The Stock Exchange - Poland (GPW ... or WSE). Do you invest? [34]

Merged: Investing in Polish Stock Market

Within the next year I was planning on investing in the Polish stock market. Anyone have any feedback or advice? I read a thread on this which was from 2007 and it mentioned that it wasn't very wise due to lack of conduct codes in businesses, but its been a few year and I'm noticing that companies' revenues are multiplying at an accelerated rate. What do you guys think?

Work / Intl business degree in Poland? [5]

What about Krakow University of Economics?

Is anyone familiar with Kozminski University? How is it as far as a business school goes? Its ranked pretty high in terms of international business schools.

Study / Eastern European Studies internship/ job [10]

I'm getting a eastern euro studies degree at my university soon and was wondering if anyone knew what I could do with that as far as internships go. It would be great if I could get an internship in Poland next summer but unfortunatley my Polish is limited. I studied in Krakow before and can communicate pretty well but not good enough for business. Any ideas would be great thank you!

Language / Polish and other slavic language differences [60]

Haha I am studying biology ale chcem dostać moj minor w slavic languages (with an emphasis on Polish). They dont offer Polish as a minor by itself at my school but I can use Polish to get a Slavic lang minor which is good. I figure I speak some Polish so I should use it for a degree :)

Language / Polish and other slavic language differences [60]

Well the Cyrillic langurages will all be in cyrillic so I will be able to distinguish them only because of the accents they use over their letters (macedonian has no accents). Will message crow thanks!!

Language / Polish and other slavic language differences [60]

Ya I know I will be able to tell which language is which but the big thing is giving many examples as to why. The only way I will be able to know which cyrilic languages are which is because of the accents over certain letters. The languages are Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Slovak, Polskiego, Upper Sorbian, Lover Sorbian, Slovenian, Hrvatski (croatian), Serbian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Belarussian, and Polabian.

Language / Polish and other slavic language differences [60]

So for my slavic final I will be given a paragraph translated into 13 different Slavic languages and I have to tell which language it is and why..

I was wondering if anyone knew of a website dedicated to showing the differences bettween all of them. I speak Polish so Polish, Czech, and Slovak I know but the cyrilic ones are a different story

Dziękuje!!

Language / Etymology of samochod and other related automotive words [12]

o and zawieszenie is zawieszić! ok I should have thought of that in the first place. But are there any Polish words relating to cars that have been borrowed? I suppose "turbo." Ok diękuje bardzo Lyzko.

A czy jest jakiesz książek albo cos na internecie gdzie mogę znaleźć etymology w Polskim słow?

Also in addition to doing this in Polish I need to do the same thing in another slavic language and compare the same words in Polish. I was thinking about doing a simple language that is similar to Polish..Czech?

Thankyou

Language / Etymology of samochod and other related automotive words [12]

So I have to a do a project for school which involves me picking a topic in any slavic language and discussing in a 5-7 page paper where certain words related to that topic came from. I chose Polish bo mówie po Polsku and I chose the topic of cars bo mam obsesje z samochodami. Anyway I need to find the origins of certain car related words in Polish. Anyone know where to look? or can help me with this?

Heres some words I was thinking of:

samochód
zawieszenie
paliwo
silnik
hamulce
opony
katalizator
