Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

I'm currently studying the language now, and I do not see what is so challenging about the language besides the word order.

I've just started the language three weeks ago.

OMG, is there NO sense of humor on this forum anymore? What did you not understand about "just messin' with you".

We shouldn't "mess" with people who are a bit special and of course a born genius. Remember the last time we had a visit from one? here ;)

Language / The most important phrases when traveling to Poland [24]

I will be visitng the country around easter next year, is the most important phrase i can know

Why don't you just buy a basic phrase book? Some are under $10 and will give you phonetic translations as well. You also have the added bonus, of having almost a year to learn them.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

I trust this will satisfy you now sir. To be honest with you, with the original title it could easy have gone to off topic.

UK, Ireland / Brits say being drunk senseless while visiting Poland is national trait [98]

Seems a bit of a coincidence that of the 2012 people interviewed, over 500 had visited Poland. Now if they had said this about Spain, then I might have believed you.

Language / What are the best Polish - English Dictionary and Learning Books? [24]

Just interested if anyone else has any different recommendations?

Try looking on Amazon, WHsmith and Waterstones websites to see which ones will fit your budget. In my opinion the best one is the two volume Oxford, PWN, Polish- English dictionary, very expensive at around £75.00 but they also have a few "slimmer" versions which may be around £20.00. Another good one at around £15.00 is the Hippocrene standard Polish-English dictionary which has a phonetic guide to pronunciation.

Life / How would you describe the Polish sense of humour? [66]

I like the "Embedding disabled by request" bit. Is that Polish humour?

I'll do a search for it instead.

Most times when you see that message, "double clicking" on the video screen will make it work. When posting a utube video it is always best to check in the preview box to see if there is any problems with the link. Hope this helps;)
