I think my Polish friends are being too kind, as they tell me I speak good Polish when I know myself its rubbish. I only tend to try to speak it with friends I know well and dont speak it around Pl people I dont really know.
This can be quite funny when another Pl joins the group and starts talking in Pl thinking the Scots guy nie rozumie.
Learning a language is always difficult (unless you happen to be a small child) so be happy with any progress you make :)
Yeah, when the mood takes the fancy, I jot down random Scots.
Its an eye sore but I think I got the gist of it :)
But then, I'm Polish so I can't make fun of any other language (or dialect as the case would be)
