Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]
Very true. Many people say it's too hard to learn Polish. But they don't understand that all languages are difficult in the beginning, and that you must work very hard if you want to be able to speak a new language. It's all about motivation.
A language will be hard if you don't invest time in learning it.

RIP
I don't think people understand what has happened. It will take some time.
And you should never put so many extremely important persons in the same plane. Most countries never do this.

True. And this is what most stores in Poland sell these days as well.

Language / Do Poles prefer US American or UK English language? [185]
British English is much more popular among young people.
My guess would be that it's because so many people go working in England.

Please take a look at English "tourists" in, for example, Krakow. They take dis-respectfulness to a new level.
Its seams to me they want our hospitality and the money they get from working here but they do not like us. It feels really very disrespectful.

This is just an artificial word that has been created by putting many words together. No one would ever use this kind of "word", if you can call it a word. You can make up a word that is twice as long if you want. But it's still not a genuine word, it's an unnatural combination of words.
This doesn't mean anything at all. This is not a word or even a combination of words.

Poland is the only country in Europe that has a positive growth of BNP now.
What does that mean? It means that Poland is the country that handled the global economic crisis best of all countries in Europe.
Things are going better and better. That is something to proud of Sebastian.

Study / Medicine study - good Polish University for international students; study in English? [38]
There is some racism in Poland. Mostly because people are not used to other nationalities, especially non-European people. Generally people experience more racism in small cities than big cities. But we should remember that there are racists in all countries of the world.
Everyone has different opinions about which universities are the best. But I think the differences in quality are not so big.
Universities in cities with a more international atmosphere are Warsaw, Wroclaw, Poznan and Krakow.
are there racist ppl in poland also?

I was thinking of long/short vowels for example.
On the other hand Polish grammar is also very difficult. The same number of cases (7) as Czech.
I would say that apart from the "i - y" and "ú - ů" pitfalls, Czech spelling / pronunciation is very clear and consistent.

I'm not Polish, but I've been in many Polish cities. Your statement is not true. How many Polish cities have you been to?
And by the way, most second hand shops don't sell underwear, socks etc.
You seem to have a problem with Polish people, did anyone of them treat you badly?
Polish people should feel ashamed cos these shops are more common than any other business.

Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]
Of course this thread is a generalization. And it's a complex question, so it shouldn't be considered as a universal explaination
But I still experience, everyday in the streets, that people in their 20's care more about physical appearance than those in their 50's. And I can come up with several explanations why I think it is like that. But this is not very important in my opinion, I was trying to give a possible explanation to the initial question.
* It should be said that there are many Polish women in their 40's that look very good for their age.
** It should also be said that there are other things, except beauty, that are important also (or maybe even more important).
Is too hard for you to count the years and realise that someone who is 40 today was not born during WW2, and actually lived all of their adult life in post-communist Poland?
