Do not listen that. You are welcome in Krakow :) But I'm afraid you will have to be a teacher in the beginning unless you are working in IT.

Language / Slovio - the international simplified Slavic language [37]
I loooove this site ! It's like reading Tolkien ;)
If I were you I wouldn't believe everything in Internet :)
Slavio language is a beautyfull thing but don't you think we have our common language ? It's called vodka :) In that language you can come to agreement with every nationality, included Germans ;)
Other Venetic Slavs have migrated westwards to central Italy, where they have been known as the Etruskans, the founders of Rome.

History / Can Poland allow itself to refuse Slavija? [32]
Is Warsaw as a capital so important to you ? What would be better: part of something or a capital of nothing?
I can't imagine Poland and Russia in one Conferedation. 71% of Russians are considered themselves as Asians not Europeans and I think that you overestimate "Slavic blood" :) There are far more different reasons that determined our "membership" to Eurabia or Slavija than language or history.
And what's Slavija for you? Because I think we had something alike between 1955 and 1991 ... :) And it didn't work.
Also, with or without Russia as member of Slavic Confederation, Warsaw still can be capital.

Life / Do Polish people help one another? [40]
If you are talking about helping strangers on the street that it has nothing to do with knowing them. It's natural we help our family, friends, neighbours etc.
Most of Poles are distrustfull and maybe that's the problem.
or maybe how well they want to know you? if they're curious about getting to know someone? on the other hand it's difficult to get to know a stranger in poland

You really want to generalize something that can't be generalized. Are people from Gdynia helpfull ?:)
yes, they can lend you some thought, according to their qualifications or interests, but in my opinion they seem to be less practical in helping people the practical way

In high school we used to call our English teacher "Mazerowa" cause she pronounced "mother", "father", "sister" like "mazzzer", "fazzzzer" and "ziizzter" ;)
i live in Poeland, i've been to the UK only once and for short time. i don't have much contact with English, especially spoken English. but none of my English teachers(all were Polish) ever taught me the correct pronounciation of words

History / remember, forget, forgive, blame ... Holocaust Memorial Day in Poland [229]
Versaille was one of the reasons why Hitler came to power. After Versaille the situation in Germany was horrible. People had no job, no food, no money. Instead of this they had crazy inflation (for 1 kilo of potatoes they paid 5,000,000 of marks!), world crisis and no industry. Germans was desperated and that's why Hitler, which was the populist, was so popular. Most of Germans voted for Hitler not because they were Nazis but because they were hopeless and he gave them a chance to change something. So, partly, Versaille was responsibled for WWII.
oh, so it's Versaille that's responsible for Holocaust? That's something new.....

Ehhh you, who live in Krakow or Wroclaw are lucky to have mountains so near. I'm from Poznan and have to spend hours to get there. And to get to Bieszczady, which I like the most, it's 13 hours in a car :/
About the weather forecast, I don't believe them. :))
I really do hope so, because I'm going to climb on some small mountain during the weekend and get seriously drunk over there...

Language / When do you use 'się'? And what does it mean? [37]
Write those sentences.
You use "się" when you're talking about something that somebody have to do with her(his)self. For example:
Czy może się Pan przesunąć? - literally "Can you move?" but in can be translated as "Can you get yourself and move?".
You can't use "się" when we have no choice in doing something. For example "spadać" (to fall). When you're falling there is nothing you can do about it. But if you sliped there was something you did to yourself and that's why there's "poślizgnąć się" - to slip.
This is the way in which I understand "się". But I'm not Polish teacher :)

I imagine WildRover is going to tell us: after eating beans you can fart into a jar and use the gas to heat yet more beans, for the nutrition and warmth values.

I can tell it will be difficult if you don't like to ski. You can go and see the mountains but you have to be prepared. Without good shoes it could be dangerous. And it's freezing out there. You can go seaside, to breathe some iodine :) but guess what ? It's freezing out there :)
