Love /
Polish boyfriend coming to visit [52]
do i have to learn polish if a polish lady shows a serious interest? i know she will probably say it is not necessary, but, it is probably her kindness. she will probably have an expectation from me to learn her language.
I'm afraid you will have to face your girl's parents, friends, uncles, aunts and employers. My husband doesn't seem to mind but I go crazy every time I hear "you're in Poland, you must learn Polish now" with this cheeky smile on their faces... It's really annoying. Especially that so may Poles do speak Englisg and so few of them are ready to use it.
these girls who are curious of black things are after casual sex, aren't they?
Many of them are, but then they will not bother to learn the language or find out about the culture ;) . Our forum is for married -or at least seriously involved couples.
As to what you say about daugthers/fathers and wealth -I don't know anything any more. I used to say (when living abroad for many years) that Polish girls were very emotional, they loved deeply and didn't care about financial status. And believe me -I saw many girls like that -who fought for love, stood against parents who were against their loved one (because he was a foreigner), and did everything in their parents for their love to win -and there was no financial reward whatsoever -not even a sign there could be one in the future. And then I came to Poland, I still see this kind of girls, but I also see th younger generation -and must say things change. For example -they approach my husband continuously and propose sex/marriage/date. Some of them give up when they find out he's married and has a baby, some of them don't. "In my times" (hehe) no girl would do such a thing -it was the guy who had to do the first step. And I too hear of girls who like dating foreigners as they think it will bring a better status -be it money, travelling, good house, car or whatever... But I and my friends were brought up believeing money didn't matter, true feeling did.
My son said, "Go to school, learn to be a doctor and you can have the house you want."
Great advice! :)
maybe, she will not want a rich husband or she may not want to be a doctor. but, adults want her to repeat their own life experiences and advices are accordingly
That's what parents do. They give advice. Their own experience is all they have. And children always reject this advice until they use their own experience to see that the old folkes were right hehehe
btw, how are you doing that? learning 5 languages?
That's all I do. Or rather did. I've got MA in Spanish Philology, and learnt other languages along the way. I am sure you're good at whatever your job is. Everyone has been gifted differently.
