What has been the hardest language for you to learn? [81]
I can introduce you to several with pleasure.
I wonder how much time would I need to make them switch back to English
It actually doesn't make sense - why would a Pole and Ukrainian communicate in Russian if the Ukrainian speaks Ukrainian properly?
Because the Poles don't speak Ukrainian?
Sure, but wouldn't that require the Pole to also know Russian to a very decent standard?
Sweet Jesus! another on with the reading issues
because all Ukrainian people speak Russian, this is the language they comunicate with as he has learned it in school before.
regarding the lack of fluency or even the presence thereof among Poles who 'know' English!
This is the source of the problem here that you have, an experience with Poles who
don't 'know' English, or they know English but not at the fluent level because they didn't learn the language long enough or hard enough.
The fact is that English is as hard for Polish speakers as for eny other foreigners because English is not similar to any other language, maybe French people have a bit easier cause French shares a lot of vocabulary with English.
You say that the English person can learn Polish easier then the other way round. I think you could easier convince someone that the water is not wet.
