How does that work? It seems to make the shorter of the two sentences almost pointless.

I thought that was what consecutively meant.

How is it possible to serve two sentences at the same time?

Language / pronounce "Kocham Cię" [57]


If you don't pronounce the letter R (in the standard British English kind of way), you could approximate Lubię Cię to:

Loob yeah chair.

Stress the first syllable.
But, as always with Polish, it's slightly more complicated than that.
Yes, it does mean "I like you".

History / "Poland's Concentration Camp" ?? [570]


It is a tragic tale, quite upsetting to read. But it does put so much humanity into the subject that is being discussed - one of the most inhumane acts in recorded history. But the personal, the emotional, the responses regard the loss of lives and the devastating consequences for the ones who are left behind.

People making light of the subject only do themselves a discredit, but likewise those who react with greed - people who look for what they can get out of the descendents of their fellow victims.

Language / Polish Lessons Units [189]


Trying to learn verbs has so many unexpected twists and turns. Going through commonly used verbs seems like a good idea, as long as you don't forget how much of the time we talk about the past and future. I still only know a tiny bit about past and future tenses of verbs, when a typical conversation will be about what happened yesterday, things that I have done, the things we will do tomorrow, and so on.

It's good to know you have so many ideas.
