You can check here for yourself, but she has trouble understanding him and he her. My favourite bit is from 8,07 onwards, she is nice about his mistakes and I like her for this. I feel bad for him though, he is having a horrid time.

You are correct ;-)

Study / Polish language school in Tarnow or Rzeszow or Sanok? [27]


How did you meet them?

Study / Polish language school in Tarnow or Rzeszow or Sanok? [27]

I don't think it is funny, I think that it is ok, you could be doing a lot worse, learning a language isn't a waste of time especially if you enjoy it.

Some people sky dive, some people paint, others watch sports on TV, none of them are wrong, it is whatever you like to do that is important.

I think that they are just questioning your choice of Tarnów but if your friends are close by it makes sense.

Powodzenia hej :-)

News / Trams collide at Ul. Hallera junction with Ul. Powstancow, Wrocław [5]

Thanks for the link.

If I read it correctly one of the carriages of one tram jumped off the track and hit the other tram as they were passing each other.

Language / Random "what's this Polish word" questions [8]


Me too, it sticks in the mind better. :-)

Language / Random "what's this Polish word" questions [8]

I am not an expert but I have found that subtitles are not a literal translationof what is being said, they are an interpretation.

If everything was a literal translation some of what you would read woudn't make any sense in English.

For example:

Co ma piernik do wiatraka. A literal translation would be "What has gingerbread got to do with windmills" or something like that. What it actually means is: "what's that got to do with anything?"

This may not be the case for your film, it could be just sloppy work also.

I read it and I like it, nothing wrong with it if it works and I am sure it does for many people. Thanks.

Language / The most effective methods to learn the Polish language? [56]

Ok, maybe I am a fool for asking this but are the methods that are used in schools effective?

Like when you were in school learning French or German etc. or any other subject for that matter.

Are schools or their methods ineffective for teaching? I don't see schools mentioned often or their methods as a good way of learning Polish etc.

Any school that you attended.

History / The history and discussion of the Bambrzy people in Greater Poland/Posen area [25]


I think it is better to call places and people by their proper names, it is rude not to.

Life / Require a few pointers on Do's and Dont's in Poland [25]


That was great, that you had a fun trip. :-)

Love / 'Seks po polsku' - the sex lives of Poles: [45]


Something is wrong here :-) Shoudn't you have the same amount of sex as your husband/wife? :-)

Language / How to understand and remember the Polish nominative plural form? [9]

My question:

Nauczyciele: a group of male teachers
Nauczycielki : a group of female teachers
What do you call them you mix them together?

Thanks

Language / Learn Polish or Russian [86]


Why not learn both at the start, then stick with the one you like most or both of them if you really want.

Travel / What's worth seeing in Poznań? [17]

Sorry I have no tips, what is there really to see in any city? Churches, Castles, muzeums, shops etc.

Travel / VISITING POZNAN, can anyone suggest places to visit including good bars/clubs? [16]


The internet

Life / What's the family life and culture of families like in Poland? [14]

My opinion is that it is not too different from families in other parts of the western world on average.

Life / Polish migrants & expats in Poland? The Polish market would be flooded. [9]


I don't know about living there long term but I have visited a few times.

As a foreigner I don't have any particular problems with the people etc. There are small cultural differences but nothing serious as far as I can see.

Law / Are Polish the same as Belgian?? [8]


I couldn't agree more.

Love / Why do Polish women prefer foreigners for boyfriends and husbands? [418]

This video is funny, Polish people like people from Spain, Brazil, Italy and France. They don't like Germans, the presenter said it is because they don't smell so good! Ouch :-)

It is interesting though, on Polish forums many guys like the idea of Polish women, Polish women like the idea of Spanish, Brazilian, Italian and French people, I wonder who the Spanish, Brazilian, Italian and French like the idea of.

Language / Improving Polish reading comprehension and vocabulary. A downloadable collection of passages? [14]

I would say read what you are interested in, check a few words in the dictionary every time, soon you will be able to read about the topic that you are interested in. Of course learn a little grammar etc. from a textbook etc.

What would you like to read about?

Language / Verb Aspect: Dawać vs Dać [17]


To be honest this would take too long to explain properly on Polish forums, you will also have other questions later so I recommend that you buy Hurra Po Polsku 1 or another grammar book. Hurra Po Polsku 1 and the exercise book are worth the money. There is a page about the question that you asked here, exercises in the exercise book and the answers are at the back of the book.

Best of luck. prolog publishing

There is no real point losing your life by getting stabbed for a few hundred euro. It has happened before.
I know that it goes against nature not to defend yourself.

Language / Questions about Jej vs. Swoje, ą and ę, and Latin similarities [27]


That isn't correct, if you always pronounce the ę and ą as above you are being hyper correct in your speaking which is incorrect, you don't use the en sound at the end for dziękuję. Also ę has a slightly different sound sometimes for example when used in zęby etc.

Sorry but I cannot help you with your other questions. Best of luck.

Life / Are Polish natives intolerant of foreigners who do not properly speak the language? [30]


I haven't read too many of the comments above, but these are my thoughts and experiences.

Most Polish people don't have any problem with foreigners speaking their language in Poland from my experience, but of course in any country you can meet someone who won't like anything that you do no matter what it is.

Some Polish people do have a problem with other Poles who don't speak/write the language properly on the internet but that is the internet.

Language / Any sites with podcasts in Polish? [17]


That is a good resource, thanks.
