"What were the first Polish words and phrases you have learned?"
1st goodbye
2nd goodnight
1st phrase: how are u today. i then learnt that noone in Poland actually uses it.
note: when one asks for a translation it is also worth asking if Poles would actually use it.

this doesn't say much for the locals where u live.
offering a seat to a pregnant woman is the most dangerous. "i can manage by myself, thank you".
Kiss a woman's hand? I've never seen that and if I tried it myself, I'd get a slap ;)
Offer to carry your heavy bags? Haven't seen that either.
Give seats to pregnant women? I'd hope so as that's just common decency.
I've only once seen sb give up their seat to an old person in a tram.
