Language / Polish language diary and language skills [5]

Thank you for the very kind offer. However, I have found a shop that will ship to Ireland. I don't have anything I could send you at the moment...

And why the username? I was going through my emo phase when I chose it, I think that says it all, haha! I have stuck with it, it's memorable.

Travel / Warsaw transport mobile phones app - iPhone/iPad/Nokia and travel apps [15]

Someone told me about a "transportoid" app thing- they have android and it gave them full coverage/knowledge (you know what I mean) of the travel times, bus lines, etc. Anyone know if I could get this for the Sląsk region or maybe Katowice even? Would be very helpful.

Law / A Norway guy studying in Poland wants to bring his Pakistani wife to Poland. Visa for her? [23]

My wife is in pakistan I want to bring my wife in Poland.

I am Irish and can bet I write better Norwegian than that... and I only know a couple of sentences of the language! Native Norwegians write and speak English a lot better than that, sir or madam or whoever you are. And they don't say they are "a Norway guy". Good god.

Language / Need advice on how to improve Polish language skills [134]

I'm Irish, a native English speaker and I was intrigued by OP's post (you're not alone!). I translate from English to Polish most of the time, barring what I have learnt. Is this right? As far as I'm concerned, as long as I'm understood, I'm happy.

Language / Polish language diary and language skills [5]

Hi all.

I have discovered Polish diaries recently- I mean like Filofax type things (kalendarowy książki- I think that means “calendar book”)- I bought mine in Tesco... now by comparison, my English language Filofax seems boring. I consider a Polish language diary a great thing for me as it reinforces my memories of the names of the months and other European countries, little things like this. I know it sounds stupid but it means quite a bit as I am not a native Polish speaker and can have a hard time remembering the little things like that.

Does anyone know of anywhere that would ship these to Ireland? I would quite like one when I am back home because I consider them nicer than the English language ones. And I haven't found an English language one in bright orange yet, like I did the other night! It floored me a bit, haha!

Also, is anyone willing to help me with my- rather rudimentary- Polish? I am here for a year; I need to up my language skills!

Any advice appreciated, dziękuję bardzo. (I used the search function and did not find anything concerning the diary issue (plenty regarding language and the teaching thereof), and if this is in the wrong somehow, I will be happy to remove it.)

Work / How To Study In Poland and stay with my GF? Inability to move to Poland looks stupid. [60]

My god, OP, GET REAL, will you? You truly need to stop dreaming. There are schemes in place to help you but NOT to help you scam the EU or whatever; they are only there to help you work or study, nothing more.

I am 22, Irish and have moved to Poland on ERASMUS. Where I live is shite and I wanted to leave at 17 but COULD NOT. I needed cash, a qualification or seven and a plan. I am here for a year and was told I would need to pay my own way, for the most part, the British Council- they fund ERASMUS- aren’t giving me much.

Make something or yourself first. Grow up and see what life is all about. The EU will not support you and nor will my country or others. Get your degree, get a modicum of sense!

And RE turkey being unable to laugh at itself, very true. The Turkish student I know on this course has genuinely, no sense of humour; he doesn’t understand how the Irish can laugh at floods when they happen (because Ireland doesn’t do floods therefore it’s always quite a funny shock... until the clean up)!

Inability to move to Poland is not stupid. Either she moves to you or you do long distance for as long it takes. Or split. Simple. But maybe you should meet her first. Poland won’t give you a scholarship just coos you’re “brilliant”. Most people who think they are, are not; they are deluded.

Grow up. Live. Your “girlfriend” might just want your money. If you have any.

And if turkey joins the EU? The UK will have a fit. And it's "British", guys... not "Britishers".

Language / Polish keyboard 214 is best [34]

How does one get „ on a Polish programmers keyboard? I can get everything but this; it's got to be there somewhere...
