Work / What is a 'HND' Business qualification in Poland? [42]

they do they GCSE when 17, but they are actually lower level than Matura

no, they are done at 15 or 16, and lead onto A levels which are ostensibly Matura level.

USA, Canada / If America is so bad, why move here? [254]

We are all polite and normal. South Africans, Ozzies, Germans, Brits, French etc etc, but the yanks love shouting their fcuking mouths off at airports.

that is true, they talk so loud and so opinionated, I had to tell a bunch of em to shut the uck up on the train to Brighton not long ago, they were shouting their heads off all about what was wrong with British society. One of them then screeched at me 'it's a free country ladeeeeeeeeee'...you couldn't make it up, could you?

Then again, are these arrogant gobshytes we hear in Europe really representative of the American people?
I like to think not.

"No one is going to USA from here plasticpole". That is quite a dumb thing to say, exactly how many millions do you claim to represent? Obviously people are going to America, always have, always will.

Work / Moving and working in PL as a teacher (near Zory/Katowice) [53]

Believe me, I would NEVER EVER do it again. Maybe in my case it is a bit different, cause I not only had to adapt to living in a country which is completely different than the Netherlands, but also because I am having to adapt to civilian life.

it must have been difficult for you Stu, but then it's only been 6 months, it's no time at all really. Maybe you will feel different in another 6 months or so?

rozumiemnic: all true DD
No it's not!

sorry rybnik but from my experience I would not trust a Polish in law as far as I could throw them.....maybe that is just in laws in genearl?

Honestly, his biggest problem is not work, but the mentality.

That I could agree with....and your point about the babcia taking over the kid and putting him in a woolly hat and fairy tights in August is certainly valid....;)

Work / Moving and working in PL as a teacher (near Zory/Katowice) [53]

Because I know the market in Poland pretty well?

OK you are a self appointed expert, good for you. There are plenty here who know that market as well or better than you do, but they do not find the need to be sour, negative, and patronising.

Tom, for your sake, stay in Ireland unless you can offer your wife a secure future

FGS Delph, why do you continue to be so negative about anyone else's plans, especially if they involve teaching English. It's hardly brain surgery is it? You do sound really bitter.

I say good luck to Tom and his family, and fair play to him for being brave enough to make a move and try something different.

Tom, I have loads of TEFL resources, books, ideas, etc., and many years of experience (before DD jumps down my neck) so please feel free to contact me, although of course there are plenty of free resources and info online. Besides as Wroclaw said, you might find something else to do, and just have the TEFL cert. thing as a back-up.

DD if I have misplaced any punctuation marks etc., please forgive me..;)

UK, Ireland / Polish Doctor in UK discriminiated and bullied against gets millions. [28]

this cow is a parasite, 4.5 million for a bit of hurt feelings,ffs! The slack b!tch has the nerve to talk about PTSD....pathetic parasite,WTF was she doing getting knocked up in her late 40s for anyway ?

well I suppose that is what her colleagues thought when they tried to hound her out of her job.
If you really think there's no racism against Polish in the UK, you are wrong.
Additionally, while these days a woman can choose to do any job she wishes, requests for maternity leave bring out the old boy network.
The majority of medical schools in this country had Jew quotas, and woman quotas, and requests for photo's with applications right into the late 80s.

While the payout does seem excessive, there's no need to be abusive about someone whose real situation at work we know nothing about. It sounds as though she became ill through stress.

UK, Ireland / Legal aid eligibility for a Polish woman (British father child support) [17]

It is hopeless in the UK Carrie, really. I believe in other European countries like for example Poland, you can take the other parent to court with your own solicitor, and your friend might think it is the same here.

But it's not. You have to use some stupid ineffective (or is that ineffectual?) agency, who might sort it out by the time your kid is 18. Or not.

Language / Why are Happy Easter & Merry Christmas the same in Polish [26]

Why do the English language speakers use two different adjectives for Christmas and Easter?

'merry' means drunk, and you don't get drunk at Easter.
Some English speakers object to 'merry' Christmas, and use 'happy' for that very reason.

UK, Ireland / Is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home? [62]

I was just trying to fight fire with fire, rozumiemnic. I know Britain isn't exclusively full of ugly pasty creeps.

hmmm....don't blame you really...it is a bit much.
plus I believe you visited the south coast...in which case you might have a point..;)

UK, Ireland / Is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home? [62]

Probably to do to the deep self shame and jealousy to the British nation. Superior Economically and Culturally, therefore emphasize the Island nature of the nation thus making Poland a greater Nation.

but it's a perfectly geographically accurate descriptiion, what's your problem? Actually it's an archipelago but that might be beyond you.

Why would Poles be jealous of an Island filled with people that look like ugly ghosts?

nasty Des, why, from what I have seen I could describe your country as being full of banjo playing inbreds and people that are so fat they can hardly walk. But I wouldn't, because that would be silly..;)

UK, Ireland / Polish is an official language in the UK? [68]

I do not understand is why are there so many Poles homeless in Brussels and London.

It is hard for me to believe someone left Poland to become a beggar somewhere else in the world. It just happens.

possibly Poland has a problem? If it's better to be a tramp in a different country than live in your own? Londonczyny?
As Harry said, public information is published in many different languages here in the UK, one or two signs in Polish hardly make it an 'official language' - it's because the British are so polite..;)

Language / Speaking with wrong Polish case endings? [94]

Second Language Acquisition study they might have called it "memorizing language patterns" or something similar.

yes, like learning 'chunks' or phrases rather than words. e.g. 'ide do sklepu'
But learning whole passages by rote seems a lazy cop out on the side of the 'teacher'

Language / Speaking with wrong Polish case endings? [94]

We were frustated about that and we asked why we should learn BY HEART some silly text?! She replied that's the proper way of learning languages.

Having studied Second Language Aquisition I can agree that this was a waste of time for you students, and your teacher was a lazy ***
