Language / The lost literary languages of Poland [54]
Quite a bad idea for someone who can't learn Polish in 20 years but for anyone with the average linguistic abilities is an interesting idea. I heard Yiddish language once and it sounded really nice.
It is not lost, those languages contributed to the developement of Polish language adding and changing a lot of vocabulary that is used in today's Polish.
I really must get round to having some lessons myself

It's a shame that it's all been lost. I would've loved to have lived in a country where Ukrainian, Yiddish, German and other languages were all spoken side by side with Polish.

You are very wrong, everybody in England can afford it, even those with the minimum wage regardless of what was their material status back in Poland.

Surely more money than you ever had like it is in my case, even imaginary 27 bedroom castle can't earn you that much.
So far half of the Poles here stated this to be their case, let's wait for more Poles to describe their situation.
Even if you work for a minimum wage in England you can afford a contract for a brand new iPhone 6, what ever was the reason he had old nokia it wasn't the money, I always have 2 phones on me. one is my personal and the other company's one is guess what, also not so new nokia.
I struggle to imagine how can a woman from behind the counter look poor, was she missing clothes? or the front teeth?
You are nowhere near able to afford what I can.
The monolingual English who can't spell their own language annoy me, how can someone who speaks English and only English for 40 years not know that there is a "queue" in the shop, "cue" is a stick used to play pool.
Or maybe they try to speak the best English they can?
You're missing the main point though, which is Polish people are not here for the weather, its money.

If you had no money, you may consider relocating to a place where you could have some and sacrifice the happiness a little.
So far half of the Poles here stated this to be their case, let's wait for more Poles to describe their situation.
There were two young Polish lads (probably early 20's) in the cue ahead of me, their phone rang and they pulled out one of the old Nokia phones and boy was it well used.

They've got huge problems with meat in particular - to the point where I won't buy meat there because it's a lottery as to whether it's actually fresh or not.
