Merged: Are there any Polish Language Tutors in Bangalore, India?
Hello there/Dzien Dobry :),
Through this Forum I have come across numerous information about Poland and its culture. I will be moving to Bangalore in South India from January 2014.
By any chance, if any Polish Language Tutor happens to be in Bangalore, it would be great to come into contacts because I would be keen on starting to learn Polish language as a 'Beginner'. In addition, since I can speak French and German as well, therefore, the tutor, if available in Bangalore, could also teach and explain in these 2 languages as well, besides, English.
And one more question please?
Being a fluent German speaker, would it be relatively easier for me to pick up Polish as well?
Like I said, German is not more closely related to Polish than Kannada, Albanian. Armenian or Persian are, so the answer is no. Apart from all of the above being Indo-European languages, they all diverged many thousands of years ago.
That doesn't mean that the languages are more closely related. English has a lot of words from French, Latin and Greek, and is no more closely related to any of those languages than to Polish or Kannada. A German speaker is not going to learn Polish any faster than a Kannada speaker will, a Pole will not learn German any faster than they can learn Kannada. And a Kannada speaker that knows German is not going to learn Polish any faster than a Kannada speaker who doesn't.
I have to disagree with that. I've been learning German and many words are easier to memorise because they sound simmilar in Polish, for example: English - bottle, German - flasche, Polish - flaszka
Only a few words are helpful, certainly not "many", and many of the words that look similar have evolved different meanings in German and Polish. Many of them are hard to recognize, because they were borrowed not from the Hochdeutsch that you are learning, but from another variety of German called Hansa-Plattdeutsch, which, curiously, is a lot more closely related to English than to Hochdeutsch. Polish borrowings directly from Hochdeutsch are minimal.
As for your example, the English (and Plattdeutsch) equivalent is "flask". "Bottle" is not a native English word. It's borrowed from French.
Hi everyone! It is great to see so many people willing to learn Polish language! I'm a professional Polish teacher and I teach mostly online. I have students from all over the world:) So let's save time on travelling and learn Polish while enjoying your favourite drink at home!:)
In case someone is interested, here is my email: ewakrawiel@gmail
I look forward to hearing from you:)
Kind regards/Pozdrawiam Ewa
PS. Knowing German is helpful when it comes to learning Polish, mostly because of presence of cases in both languages.
