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