News / Are Poles good enough for USA (to go there without a visa)? [288]

Richfilth

Poland has strict, if not stricter requirements for Americans trying to visit

You are completely wrong. Americans can come in without a visa for up to 90 days. Poles have to apply for a visa (costs ~$100), interview with a consul, hope that they get the visa, and then hope that they aren't turned away when they enter the U.S.

Get your facts straight before you post garbage.

Language / Polish Lessons Units [189]

Janusz,

Thank you for providing these videos. I just completed them today and it feels great.

Also I was in PL for the holidays and was able to sing carols in Polish from a book due to your videos. The people around me were astonished. I had no idea what I was saying but it was possible because of you. Thank you!

Language / Conversational Connectors [4]

So, those are like (please correct me if I'm wrong):
-"I'll say yes"
-"As of today"
-"That's a good question"
-"I'm glad you asked"

Thank you for those Polonius! That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Are there any other common ones for Polish? For example, I am also studying Armenian. In Armenian they often say, "To be honest...", "In one word...", "As far as I know", and, "It seems to me..."

Language / Conversational Connectors [4]

Hello everyone,

I came across a great site with conversational connectors for the Czech language (check it out here: sites.google.com/site/fluentczech/connectorstarterpack).

Does any resource like this exist for Polish? I searched myself but was unable to find anything. If someone has something similar and would be willing to share it, that would be much appreciated.

I searched this forum too with no luck, although the "Filler words" thread is something similar.

I also thought about doing a Google Translate of the English phrases to Polish, but I'm not sure if these phrases would even make sense in Polish.

Thanks in advance.
Dziękuję bardzo.
