Life / Could anyone tell me about any Polish bands that are/were popular. [17]
I was wondering if anyone could tell me about any Polish bands that are/were popular. I'm listening to the music to help improve my pronunciation and just to enjoy it. I already know about a couple bands/people, like: O.N.A. (Chylińska), Zakopower, Myslovitz, Hunter, Mrozu, Sylwia Grzeszczak, Andrzej Piaseczny, Jelonek (I know he has no vocals, but he's brilliant<3), Magdalena Tul, £zy, Flos, Stare Dobre Małżeństwo, and Cool Kids of Death.
What more is there? Please and thank you :)
By the way, I wasn't sure what category to put this under, so I figured "recreation" was okay because music is a sort of hobby :P

Language / Difference in "why" [9]
What's the difference between "po co" and "dlaczego." Both mean "why" (or so I've read), but which is used for which cases and what reasons? Please and thank you! :)

Hi! Just a little background for better understanding, I'm Polish by third generation and the last person to speak the language is my grandfather, who doesn't bother anymore and speaks to us only in English. I don't even know if he remembers how to speak it anymore. I'm really interested and am falling more and more in love with Poland the more I look into the history and culture, feeling like that's were we should have remained.
With that said, I'm working really hard around college and work trying to teach myself Polish with a book I got called "Polish Verbs & Essentials of Grammar" by Oscar E. Swan. I even have the Rosetta Stone for Polish! The thing is, the computer can't correct me or answer any questions I have or tell me if my accent is good or bad. Working by myself is hard because, again, if I have any questions I have no one to help me answer them.
Does anyone know anywhere around the Philadelphia area where they might teach Polish? I'm going there for a month this summer and I'm trying my best myself, but I could use a little extra help!!
Sorry that this is really long... lol
