Language / Listening to music and learning Polish [45]

I have been having a little trouble getting "Miłość w czasach popkultury" form the 'dubious downloads community'.

Anyone know where i can find it for torrenting? i got one to 99.6% then it froze! would have been fine if it wasnt a bloody Rar.

Language / Listening to music and learning Polish [45]

I'm listening to a lot of Myslovitz at the moment, just my kind of music (well most of it) but not always easy to follow.

My idea came about from my love for Sigur Rós (Icelandic) specifically their album 'Ágætis byrjun'. I can sing along to most of it but dont have a clue what the words mean! I have looked them up of course but just enjoy the sound and feel more than the lyrical structure.

I'd hoped to find something similar in Polish and could learn meanings over time. A friend recommended Myslovitz and i love em.

Ah of course, Canada huh? nice.

Should the issue of Winter boots in Summer seem so strange?

Surely you all have seen what the girls here in England wear (or rather: not!) in the Winter? Even the men's attitudes are changing, comments such as:

"check out the legs on Her!!"
are being replaced with:
"Crikey! i bet she's cold!!"

Maybe its just relative, when is the weather in England ever consistent enough for Winter boots not to be a good option!

Aye was a compliment: not too pointy, not needlessly over-detailed, shiny!

Nice snake-shoe pic in your profile by the way.

I see what you're saying, but to add a little 'Man-logic' to that:
"You can see her nipples in the first pic!"

Girls wearing certain dresses/skirts with jeans/trousers is not a new trend but it seems to be getting worse, like those pics that were shown, they seriously do not go together, the fact that the girls posture is awful and she is way too skinny doesn't help either. And why does she have the hair style of a small boy?

Ok i'm just getting bîtchy now.... oh sod it, i gotta ask:

What is it with this pointy shoes craze?
I appologise if any of you gals love this style but i cant help but feel it just looks terrible, it is fading a bit now but not long ago the length of some of these 'feet-canoes' was getting ridiculous!

If you keep wearing them, your feet will stay that shape you know...

well... only if you really look like your avatar!!

Slut = disposable woman: for the man with little time on his hands, less mess, less expense and now with an extra 20% less guilt!

so i hear....

Aye, footware is very, VERY important but i refuse to spend silly money on shoes these days, wasted way to much cash in the past.

Cool doesnt have to mean expensive.

Actually, now you mention Shellys (which you didnt, but your name is similar!)
They were the coolest shoe shop in London at one time, i remember paying £150 for a pair of 'Booga' boots about 10 years ago! (er, not that i'm that old, like)

Also a bit of a burlesque / fettish element too.

Ooh, you just reminded me of these rather frightening Emo crazes going round too, kids dressing like something from an Edward Scissor hands spin-off series, with half a hair cut and the remaining locks glued down one side of their faces.

Am i getting old? coz i just.dont.get.it!

Language / I want to learn Polish. Where to start? [180]

Yeah someone pointed me to that before but i didnt have the time to look then, or now in fact! but i will. Anything that will help is good.

I kinda feel bad about today, i didnt get any lessons done, just pestered people on here and played Rainbow six 2 all day, but i was hung-over to be fair!

Back to crappy work tomorrow, Pimsleur in my teabreaks on the dayshift...

Ah well, i wouldnt say that. Its not fashion i'm into really, i just like what i like and if i think it looks good and a little different then i tend to wear it. Not just for the sake of it or because *enter generic soulless* magazine said so.

Brands are for sheep

Because they're sheep... baaaa baaaa...

Hmm... Ballet flats and leggings... Polka dot leggins'....

Not sure i've got the figure for that either. Lots of people round here like to go un-noticed hence the dark colours, but this just creates a starker difference between them and the more flamboyant populous, like shocking-red in mono-chrome art.

Lots of Earthy colours around these days too, i must admit i have quite a few browns in my wardrobe. And dark colours also, but i use my hair to offset that.

And hats, one can never underestimate the out-fit transforming properties of a good hat.

Is it wrong for a man to care so much about this stuff?!?!

Language / I want to learn Polish. Where to start? [180]

there has usually been languages on the school syllabus. French, German and Spanish have been popular over the years.

I have learned more Polish in two weeks than i ever learned in 5 years of French class in school.
It was only after i left that i began to learn anything useful in French!

Snap,I think watching le haine and Doberman did it for me :)(well,if gutter french swear words and slang count )

Totally! I find swear words are always the most useful thing to learn first in a foreign language...
La Haine is one of my faves, actually i watched it again just two nights ago!
And Betty Blue, but that really takes some effort and leaves you emotionally drained as its 3 hours long...

Going to watch Katyn tonight and test my Polish!!

On a more topical note: My 'Polish in 4 weeks' book arrived yesterday, it looks really good. I'm now using three things:

Pimsleur audio on my i-pod, because I can listen to it at work when i'm on the nightshift and get a good few hours to invest.

Good for = Pronounciation, basic, helpful phrases.

Rosetta Stone for the PC, not very good for explanation but a perfect assistant to the other methods i am using. I also use this really good pdf dictionary along with it, to help with some words that are not explained.

Good for Learning new and helpful words easily, its good to use if you cannot put in the mental energy for one of the other methods and can be quite fun and short-term rewarding. You will find yourself pointing at things in the street and saying:

"Thats a źółty samochód!!" *proud -face* :-)

Polish in 4 weeks which is a book course with accompanying CD and PC program. (though the CD-Rom is a little useless to be honest, you only need the CD). Only just started with this one but already i can see results, very good explanations, well laid out and easy to understand, it also includes exercises to test you which is something i have been lacking so far: being able to apply my new knowledge.

Good for Learning Polish! This will be the biggest help for learning to write in this new language, and read it. understanding all these complicated Polish Nouns, verbs etc, and their many variations. Highly recommended.

i adore poland cause almost every radio station still plays that song. Looking back on the lyrics, how could he not have been "so happy?"

I think i missed summink here, is there a song about me in Poland? he he
::EDIT:: oh i get ya, the Wham song! i hope you got the reference, Zoolander is an awesome film!

Not sure about the polka dot jeans, unless they sell them in TopMan?

I doubt it, but they should!

Just out of interest, was his dress sense that bad before that you needed to save him?

Much credit to you if you get a picture of him wearing Polka dot jeans!!

I applaud your efforts girl, some guys have no idea...

hound's tooth is different but dare i say it's the femine equivelent to camo?

Thats about the best description i've ever heard for it! i am soo totally stealing that phrase off you!

The closest i get to Dots is a Pac-Man t-shirt, but I'm warming to the idea of some kind of Polka-dotted jeans....

with matching hat, of course.

Hmm, Green is big here right now, but has to be 'angry' army green and camo.

Polka dots soo don't go with my hair but stripes are even less becoming of the slender gent. How about zig-zags?

Mono-chrome zig-zags? I have these amazing shoes that would go with that, and ear-rings to DIE for!!!

Ya know its bad when you dont buy 'clothes' anymore, you buy 'outfits' instead...

I know, so much for the non-commercial artist!

Every spring and summer here in Poland there is a new "in" colour which sees everyone and there dog clad in it

So what do you think will be this years 'pastel passion'?
Maybe i could make a profit from exporting Primarks finest!
