Language / Differences in Polish and English idioms [69]

I remember a few idioms from my Polish course. Our teacher devoted the whole workshop for this very difficult, but quite funny topic.

The same are e.g. Break a leg - Polamania nóg ; To have butterflies in your stomach - Mieć motyle w brzuchu.

My favourite are:

What has that to do with anything? - Co ma piernik do wiatraka? (which in English is: What has gingerbread to do with a windmill? :-))

To pass with flying colours - Zdac spiewajaco.

Travel / Why do you visit Poland? [223]

I visited Poland in August to participate in a Polish course, but since I've met many people during my stay, I'm going to visit them in spring. I recommend Cracow - friendly people, nice historical places and many clubs to visit :-)

I used "Polski Krok po Kroku" book during my Polish course, and I rememeber that there was a list of idioms for beginners. You can check some extracts from this book on polskikrokpokroku.pl

I hope you'll find sth for yourself.

Good luck with Polish ;)
