Language / Will Germans be able to understand Polish enough? [77]

more teachers of German than of English.

It's interesting because in Katowice, where I grew up, teaching German was informally forbidden. There was only one high school with the German language. Later, however, it was possible to attend evening courses.

Language / Terms of endearment in Polish [225]

Bobek might be a good nickname

I don't think you'd like it if you knew that "bobek" means little sh*t. Such as from sheep.

Travel / Starting 2024 Visa's will be required to visit Poland from the U.S.A. [21]

That is because Americans always come back home to the Great United States of America

This is not entirely true. Getting rid of American citizenship is horrendously expensive, for example because of the so called exit tax, and yet the number of resignations is rapidly increasing and now 10 times more Americans are getting rid of their citizenship than 10 years ago.

Off-Topic / Benefits to Poland of being annexed by Russia [17]

Russia haters"

I never hated russia or russians. To this day, I have to work with them without bringing politics into it. But their problem has always been their diametrically different behavior in a group, completely different to their behavior when they are alone. And it has nothing to do with the last war. While individually they can be fine, in a group, especially after alcohol, they become savages. In the past, hoteliers rented willingly rooms for the Russians on New Year's Party because they spent a lot of money, more than the Germans or the English. Recently, however, and even before the war, they did not want to rent to the Russians because they behaved scandalously.

Law / How to pay Polish fines when you are not in Poland [10]

denied getting your German driver's license renewed too until your issue gets resolved.

I don't think the Germans would make it difficult for him for the unpaid ticket from Poland. EU is not US.

Law / How to pay Polish fines when you are not in Poland [10]

but I'm not in Poland any longer.

If you don't intend to come to Poland again, you can probably forget it. However, if you want to come to Poland again, it's better to pay.

Things We Love

I think I will fall in love with the fact that we currently have 16°C and rain on our island, not 48°C as in southern Europe.

Travel / How to go to Frankfurt from Poland? [16]

generally the talked about are the one (huge) in the West at the river Main and the (not so huge) in the East at the river Oder near Poland....

Frankfurt am Main is not big, it has a couple of (small) skyscrapers, a couple of banks threatened with bankruptcy, a gloomy district near the railway station that is better to avoid, and that's how big it is.

Repopulating Poland with Ukrainians?

Well, here you go, an old thread and how topical in the current situation, maybe even more relevant today than ever.

Life / Poland vs Hungary for an expat? [41]

In the meantime, there's nothing to compare. Orban's Hungary almost openly supports Russia. Poland supports Ukraine to the best of its ability and this will not change even if the opposition wins.

Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [295]

Colored people" sounds so illiterate

But this is a literal translation of a phrase used by the Polish Prime Minister shortly before I started this thread. The Prime Minister emphasized that Poland would not accept colored emigrants anyway, despite the agreement with the EU.

Attempted lynching at the swimming pool in Bytom on 4 dark skinned who allegedly groped children in the shower. However, there is a difference to the riots in German swimming pools which take place almost every day. In Bytom, this aggressive crowd was white, in Germany, this aggressive crowd is made up of dark-skinned juveniles or adults.

Watermelons do not grow in Poland or Germany. They have to be imported.

cold red

But cold red wine does not develop its bouquet and it should be decanted.
