Language / Slavic languages words similarities with Polish [238]

[moved from]
German is a difficult language, French is much easier than German. I don't know, many of my colleagues told me about that. Later I tried to learn German too and went to the Goethe Institute. Hallo, Wie gehts, this is what I still remembered and the verb position is mostly on the 2nd position. Just like "gehen", whereas in English, I can decide the position of verb. Believe me English is the easiest foreign language or 2nd language. I have learned French at school, Bonjur, Madam etc, it is also very soft, poet, easy language, but I have never showed my interest. Polish and Russian are similar in many expects. Many words are similar to polish language. You can also find many German word in Polish language, because of the 2nd WW, where German captured most of the Poland from one side and Russian from the other side. People from Pakistan are also not perfect in English, they are just like Polish people in many aspects. Both country are religious, have their cultures, traditions have family systems etc. We tried to learn or copy a nation, we copied mostly Americans, whereas Polish too. American, UK they are cool people. Americans are very friendly. UK are rude, kind and straight forward people. But due to politics many things are changing very quickly. If there would be no politics in the world, world would be in a great peace.

@Nojas yes tell me about it.

Russian and Polish is not similiar at all. Yes it true, but if you hear Russian than only, many poles told me this.


Brother, It has to do with 2nd world war, because German has captured the upper part of Poland, like Danzig, etc and they built many houses, firms, companies, so it starts from there.. Before there were no concept of German language.

If you get a chance to go to the upper part of Poland than you must visit Danzig and her surrounding. They speak few German words like "Fruhstuck" "Dach" while speaking polish. There are some 2400 German words in Polish Language...

@Nojas

And I do not need to be educated about Europe from a Pakistani, being born in north of Europe...

but have knowledge from books or from media only, you never discover Europe. We are foreigner, we look Europe from other way. We went to many parts of Europe, Canada, The US, we know some what how the people are and how they think.

Many European visit Pakistan, India, Nepal, because these countries are exotic and have good Climate. Come to Asia, much cheaper than Poland. You will forget Europe too. As an European, Masters Studies with English speaking you could also earn 2000 Euros in a Month.

I went to Danzig and many villages etc, I have already discovered it. German had made many Houses, Firms, Companies, Railways tracks, Bridges etc. Just go there and discover it. Don't trust me. I am a Non-European by the way!

And I didn't say that Russian is similar to Polish. I have said the grammar of both languages is not much different.

Here you are right, because I know only a single word "Czesc" means Hi, not more than that :)
