Polonia / What do Poles think of how they are treated in Germany, in comparison to the Muslim migrants [27]

Why so touchy, Cojestdocholery?
You missed my point, apparently. I simply said that I have a high level of social bearing and comportment. Certainly, I didn't mean to cast espursions on anybody.

It's a fact though that those from poorer nations who immigrate to a richer one, will necessarily have to catch up in terms of education and so forth compared, say, with those with little literacy or formal education, that's all. It's scarcely their fault if they weren't born into the social advantages others have.

There's nothing wrong with wanting the best, is there? 'Course not! It's only natural, and yet the way standards have dropped so, it's a miracle people value cultural literacy and things which matter other than stuffing their faces.....or other parts of the human anatomy LOL

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

It's a crying shame that far too many Jews have little respect for the very culture to which their ancestors contributed richly, almost exclusively after 1900.

The joke is really on them, the Israelis or sundry other Jews, probably from the US, who lapse into this disgusting Pole bashing!

History / Polish films with Jewish motifs [4]

@Pawian,
I watched a retrospective featuring this great Polish film at the Polish Consulate in NY many years ago for a Polish-language cultural evening in which I enthusiastically participated. By the end of the showing, there wasn't a dry eye in the entire house as the audience saw the charismatic Danuta Szaflarska singing the title song, glistening with tears upon just learning of her mother's death, yet bravely marching to defeat the Nazi enemy!

I hear from German friends and acquaintances in Germany at present that most younger Poles already know considerable German from having studied it in Poland long before they ever arrived in the Federal Republic! The only thing, of course, is their accent, rather than their grammarLOL. Just think back a bit to the late Marcel Reich-Ranicki. Execellent to near perfect German. Accent?? UGGH! Furthermore, many educated Poles are remarkably quick studies in terms of language acquisition, particularly German as well as English.

It's essentially the older, less educated ones who tend to give Poland and the Poles a bad reputation:-) Working-class migrants probably from every country, including right

here in the US, are generally those who are a less than flattering advertisement for their respective countries.

Apropos Chanukkah latki, the cross-pollination between ethnic "Polish" vs. local "Jewish" cuisine
from the various shtettls cannot be overstated.

I do simultaneous, I know. He might also have meant "consecutive" interpreting.

Does someone perhaps mean "oral translation"? It's "mouth-to-mouth resuc-
itation".

Pani Kasiu!

Just curious as to what sorts of translation you do.

Yes, Alien, native GERMAN, not English, speakers! Announcers should be native or at least bilingual native to the language they are announcing, with zero detectable second language interference, full stop.

Spotlight English in Germany, as I recall, wasn't much better.
At least hire speakers/readers from the BC abroad such as the local
Consulates, rather than have native German speakers with their
wooden diction and faulty idiom.

I assume then the female form is "Oj' bidaczko!"
