Language / Poles - don't fall into the French/Spanish trap re pronunciation/accent! [81]

Russian or Mandarin, just in case? As per the old joke: what will the price of a pint of milk be in London in 2020? Answer: 5 yuans...

Mandarin is not an international language, although it is a better bet than most other languages, there are a lot of them and the women are good looking. Russian, no chance! sounds like they are talking whilst slurping cabbage soup, it's not that international either.

At least we try to learn foreign languages, unlike some of you English people who think you don't need to ;)

What language would you like us to learn? There is a massiv problem for English speakers, anybody learning English is making a wise investment it is a language they will use a lot if they go abroad, it is the World's lingu franca it is worth learning, but what do language do English speakers learn? Welsh? Gaelic? Danish? Finish? Estonian? Hungarian? no offence to these lovely people, but the rewards of learning their language are minimal! if I learn to speak Swedish, I can speak to 8 million Swedes, if a Swede learns English, he can speak to the World !!! and that's the same for a Polish.

UK, Ireland / Do Poles in the UK pretend to be uppity because they have an inferiority complex? [60]

Citizen67, your written English is not as good as you might have thought.The points she was making were very clear despite not being a native speaker of English.Your accusations about her standard of English are rather insulting as are your posts in general.Maybe you should use a spell-checker yourself..

My God! her (?I thought she was a Bloke) posts aren't clear, to a non-nativ English speaker maybe, but not to a Nativ speaker, this happens a lot.. I did not insult her, in fact I did the opposit and gave her a break, and said, we are having a communication problem here because we are using two different versions of English.

i don't pretend my written English is good and all my spellings are deliberate.

I think we hav got a language problem here, I'm speaking English-English, you are speaking Polish- English. The points you are trying to make are very unclear, but anyhoo...

I don't find anything wrong with alexnye's posts.

and Apparently, the Simon Cowell guy was called, something like, Kuba Wojewodski.

Chip, Chip Chip. I don't know what you wer trying to be, your post was inane.

I don't really care about it but don't you think it's sometimes useful to look in the mirror?Excuse me for saying so but it's you that sounds sulky to me.

I

not sulking I am baffled by the whining, sulky, big baby attitude on here! I am astounded, don't Poles hav anything positiv to say about anything in the World. I beginning to think I like Germans more than I like Poles after being on this forum. ;o)

You're another one, mate, totally fail to be 10% funny or witty, this is just appalling, you're like a load of sulking big babies.

What's wrong about drinking Polish beer?alexnye: They MUST visit a Polish dentist.What's wrong about visiting a Polish dentist??alexnye: He needs a Polish Computer Shop in CardiffWhat's wrong about needing a Polish Computer Shop in Cardiff???If not anywhere else, there should definitely be one in Cardiff !!!! Cardiff without at least one Polish Computer Shop is an ugly and awful place.

Then what's the point of coming/going to Britain? you might as well hav stayed in Poland, if everything Polish is so f*cking wonderful. My god! never has my opinion of a nation dropped so quickly just two hours on this forum yesterday has completely changed my opinion of Poles and for the worse. I used to be a bit supportiv about Poles, "they are ok", "they work hard they" "they don't do me no harm", but now you just come over as arrogant pillocks with a ridiculously over-sized opinion of yourself,n i you all remind of that Polish Bloke that Simon Cowell had a go at on his program (World X Factor), weak humour, up-tight nerd! ;o)

Life / What's wrong with you, Polish people - is it an inferiority complex? [123]

yes, it is an inferiority complex.

At least there is one intelligent Pole who has seen through the Bull shet they wer brought up on!, This superiority attitude has turned the Poles from being an admired liked sympathetic people into a people most other people despise.

Most Nationalities, perhaps all, nationalities are brought up on some sort of patriotic bullshet of some sort or version", we all hav our national myths and being told we are "special","unique" country/people with a unique role in the World when we kids etc., but intelligent people see through it as they grow up, and realize it is not true, (unfortunately).

UK, Ireland / Is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home? [62]

When once touring in the UK as a teenager, I stopped off at a small hotel in the center of London.

Yeah, that's how we used to be, Europe was some where else, our maps said, "the British Isles and Europe", Europeans were real foreigners, not Chinese or Africans but those funny peculiar people from "Europe".

UK, Ireland / What does English sound like to the Poles? [30]

No, I mean, it is how English native speaker, speaking his native language, sounds to Poles.

You're joking!? surely, you mean the other way around!
