Language / Goral Words/Goralskie Slowa [5]

I didn't wanna Google things cuz I was hoping to find some actual Gorali here on the forum :D
Oya, so awhile back I watched an interview with one of my favourite bands, Zakopower. Kuba interview the leader singer about his career and life in highlands. But then he shows off some swear words and I was like o.o That's sounds bad ass! I wanna remember this one for sure. Over all Goral culture intrigues me. Mother told me once that there are women could communicate miles away from each other through song via echos or mountains. We have some Goral family friends and after a few drinks they break into song. Fast forward to 7:50. Interview overall is pretty funny. Kuba is hilarious.

UK, Ireland / How a Second Language (English) affects the first language(Polish) -contribute to my B.A.! [4]

I started learning/ using English at the age of 4. Im 19 :p
Everyday I speak English. At home I speak mostly Polish.
I use Polish when I'm with Polish people and English with English speaking people.
Occasionally I watch Polish dramas, tune into news or watch a movie. I mostly listen to music. I love translating between languages regardless.
I think in English.
I have hard time getting words such as wszechświat because it uses close combination of "sh" "h" sounds or szczebrzeszyn "ch" "sh" "rz" I avoid them if I can.

Seeing an English name I pronounce with an English accent vice versa.
