Travel / What are the best countries to live in? [161]
Quite the opposite clearly! We see here the limits of over zealous liberalism. The once tolerant Danes voted for Pia Kjaergaard. Who wants to see Copenhagestan?

Work / Hi, I am Indian and will be shifting to Poland (diploma in Mechanical engineering) [47]
Apropos Denmark, I didn't want to come home! Loved it, although I couldn't help but learn the language well before going over! Zero unpleasant culture shock, know what I mean? But hey, that's me.

The Polish is more logical than English.

But the English of their Scandinavian interlocutor was doubtless bare minimum at best, much as the first impression of a coin before the final mint! Try death by boredom lol

You may be partially right about the first part. But he did ask if I enjoyed practicing Polish. Tit for tat, right?

Can't you even catch sarcasm in English yet or are being obtuse once again?

True enough, yet I guess I haven't ever quite given up on the idea of life as a two-way street. A comment on both, I suppose.

That remains then YOUR problem, so don't the Polish language for your failures!

You're right, paw! Why this self-hating Polish bashing? By the way, figure that jerk I encountered in the coffee shop was just an oddity and untypical of the average, friendly Poles I've met and known-:)

More to the point, my wife and I were at a local kawiarnia around mid-center of Garfield, NJ last Saturday early afternoon, when we encountered a youngish Polish couple with their son.
Upon hearing them speaking Polish while I was on line, by chance the husband asked me if I was standing on line as well, at which point of course, I took the opportunity to answer him in Polish, at which he seemed delightfully surprised! He then politely but insistently responded in somewhat halting, heavily accented English, inquiring why I as an American speak Polish, to which I responded that I found it easier to converse with Polish speakers in their native language. He smiled, adding that he found it funny, but enjoyed letting me practice my Polish. I then couldn't resist gently replying that I hoped he enjoyed practicing his English with me as well. His expression gradually grew intense and said that his English was just fine, thank you, and that neither he nor his wife needed any practice whatsoever!
I smiled, paid for our coffees, and left, but not without a "Trzymaj sie, panie!"

Rich/Greg, your ethnocentric comments indicate whom among us is ignorant of Polish.
Quit testing our patience!

hhhjkg & others,
You haven't then heard the "Warszawianka" sung. If you had, you wouldn't ignorantly bad mouth Polish. I've heard Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump over many years, yet I don't speak ill of the American English language, do I?
Are all German speakers, singers, notable actors etc. speaking as Hitler spoke, for example?
Your premise is silly!
