Life / Why are Polish so obsessed with Russia [46]

Abert, if you dislike America and Americans that bad, why don't you go back to Poland, or let's say Vladivostok?
I sense obvious anger in your posts. Why should Poles choose Russians over Americans? Why should Poles choose one of them anyway?
I actually see some complex (inferiority or anything) in your posts.
And I agree with legend, Polish people in general are in good terms with Russians.

Language / How do Poles feel about foreigners learning their language? [105]

Bardzo dobrze. Uczę się polskiego, ale wciąż jest trudny dla mnie. Mam nadzieję że będę mógł mówić po polsku tak jak Polacy ;)

High hopes here ;)

So, Jackmark, how does it feel to you when a foreigner speaks Polish? (at least a bit)

Language / How do Poles feel about foreigners learning their language? [105]


I know him, he's been in Poland since the early 90's if I remember well, so he better be fluent in Polish now ;)


Of course, I'm not saying it's impossible, nothing is impossible (more or less), but it will surely take me a while to 'master' many aspects of Polish ;)


That's a very interesting article. Even if I didn't say Polish was 'impossible' to learn for non-Slavs ;)

Language / How do Poles feel about foreigners learning their language? [105]


Of course, Slavic languages are very closely related. But, as you said, for the rest of the world, Slavic languages, and especially Polish, are very difficult. In Polish, one word can have tens of different forms. I'm speaking as a Frenchman (who's also half Polish), I think it would be a bit easier for me to learn German than Polish, even if German is not a Latin language.

Polish is easy only if you speak another language that is very close to it. Otherwise it's not.


Yes, but in the worst case, you speak English with a strong accent. That's not possible with Polish tho ;)

Quite impressive, very well done to the pilot. When did that happen?

Life / Student from Denmark, wanting to know about Poland's culture and how it is to live in Warsaw [21]

Wow, that's a harsh welcome.
Warsaw is a big city, there are many different people living there. And a lot of students.

AC, here's a link you may need, for a start ;)

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]


Yes, hvala, Croatian ;)

Language / "I go to the university by train" in Polish? [13]

Hmm, not sure, I would say: Jadę na uniwersytecie pociągiem.
Wait for more serious answers (=Polish speakers).

Travel / Poland Baltic Sea holiday [30]

Depends what you call 'good beach'.

Here, Jurata is ranked 25th of the best Polish beaches. Mrzeżyno is ranked 23rd.
And here, Jurata doesn't even show.
I know it probably means nothing, but you can't say Jurata is the nicest beach.

It looks quite nice, but it's Dźwirzyno.

Travel / Poland Baltic Sea holiday [30]


If you have a car, it's not too far. I'd say about 2 hours to Mrzeżyno. Maybe a bit less.


If you have money, Venus is probably one of the best hotels in Mrzeżyno ;)
I used to go to this one, krysztalowaprzystan.pl, but the owner changed recently, I have no idea how it is now.


I went there many times, and it's not so crowded and the weather is generally nice.
July is usually better than August.

Travel / Poland Baltic Sea holiday [30]


Ah, Mrzeżyno, old memories, good ones ;)
Dźwirzyno is nice too, but bigger. Well, longer.
These white beaches are nice and clean.
And yes, Szczecin airport is the closest.

Travel / Student from Algeria needs help to get a visa to Poland (booking too expensive) [11]

Coming from a Pole living abroad, it doesn't sound serious.

Life / Is living cost in Poland lower than Germany ? [32]

Yes, much lower. I'd say that Germany (like France I guess) is way too expensive, in a way ;)
Poland is much more affordable. Of course, it depends on how much you make every month.
In Poland, you can have a decent life with around 4000PLN, net (around 1000 euros). Maybe a bit more in big cities.

News / John Godson, born in Nigeria, might become Poland Sejm's first black deputy! [313]


I'm French, so I see the point (even if I don't really agree).
But the situation is very different in Poland. This guy was not elected because of his skin colour. And Blacks are still a very small minority in Poland anyway.

Because of...one guy?

News / Barbara Piasecka Johnson, Maid Who Married Multimillionaire, Dies at 76 [57]


Just redhead girls or...? ;)


Well, let's think things differently. You know these unusual couples because they are celebs.
There are other unusual couples, but they're 'normal' people and don't appear in magazines.

And men like football and cars. Except that I know many guys who don't like football and cars. Stereotypes, you probably know them enough to avoid them ;)


I'm very flattered.


Maybe yes, maybe not. Of course, it's quite unlikely, but 'guessing' is not right.

News / Barbara Piasecka Johnson, Maid Who Married Multimillionaire, Dies at 76 [57]


Since we don't know, we can't tell. Right?


Playing smart doesn't mean you're right anyway, quite a big difference here ;)


Yes, all women are greedy and selfish. Real monsters ;)
And Zimmy is a real masculinist. Which is your right, of course.

News / Barbara Piasecka Johnson, Maid Who Married Multimillionaire, Dies at 76 [57]


Humour and denial, that'll help ;)


There you go again. Same arguments, over and over again. And I should learn? From you? No thanks.


You discuss Mrs Johnson as you discuss women in general. Don't play stupid.


Says the guy who makes loads of assumptions based on discutable sources.

News / Barbara Piasecka Johnson, Maid Who Married Multimillionaire, Dies at 76 [57]


Nope, just have a look at all your posts here. You are the angry one. Most of your posts are to denigrate women.
You must have had some serious issues with women.


I'm not so sure the Johnsons need your opinion. I think they thought the whole thing through and decided that's what they wanted.

Unless you know them personally (and not some other Polish woman), what do you know about them? How is it your problem?


Thanks for listing my gifts. But no, you don't know them personally. Or prove it. Did you talk to their kids maybe? Or heard gossips?


Yes, once again, calling others ignorants helps you convince yourself you're the right one. Sad.

News / Barbara Piasecka Johnson, Maid Who Married Multimillionaire, Dies at 76 [57]


Zimmy, Zimmy... Spitting his anger again, even tho he knows the heck nothing about their lives. *rolling eyes*
Buddy, you lose your credibility with such reactions. Be careful.

News / Barbara Piasecka Johnson, Maid Who Married Multimillionaire, Dies at 76 [57]


That's what I was thinking too ;)

Oh my! Yesterday: blue sky, 12°C, open coat... Today, 0°C, looooads of snow (I'd say about 15-20 cms), it's all white outside.
I'm hesitating between greeting Happy Easter and Merry Christmas, honestly...

Language / Slavic accent correction [110]


Well, it's quite close ;)
Especially with ą, between the French 'an' in 'quand' (when) and 'on' in 'mon' (my).

Language / Wesołego Alleluja or Wesołych Świąt? [30]


It's not świat, it's świĄt, I think it comes more from 'saints' than 'world', but maybe I'm wrong. Someone should find the etymology (I tried, but not that easy when you don't master Polish).
