Spot on, jon! Just plain laziness or terminal cheapness, probably.

Spotlight English in Germany, as I recall, wasn't much better.
At least hire speakers/readers from the BC abroad such as the local
Consulates, rather than have native German speakers with their
wooden diction and faulty idiom.

Katharina Thalbach nie mowila po polsku, lecz po niemiecku w filmie synkronizacione, czy nie?:-)

"Dusz"/"duch" means "soul" or "spirit" as I've seen it written, no?

Thanks very much!

Even in the Vocative/wolacz? Perhaps "bidakO"?

LOL You remember how to form the diminutive, don't you, Rysku? -:)

Is there a cut off point as to exactly how short a short term visa is?

Nonetheless, were for instance a Pakístani or, say an Egyptian, to apply to visit Germany, I know for a fact, the German passport authorities are more circumspect in such instances.

It depends on your nationality. Different rules apply to EU vs. non-EU citizens-:)

I wonder if Orban is truly an educated man or merely a party hack more than likely.

Orban's a bigot who's forgotten that the world has changed and continues to change! The homogeneity of the past no longer applies and the only way to remain a good, competitive neighbor will be to integrate and include!

Sweden, Germany, Great Britain etc. have all had to abandon their ideologies of the past, whereby a more or less single, same population was met with few of the challenges we face today. That no longer remains a viable option.

News / Poland in the European Union. Polexit? [559]

Merged:

POLEXIT - Lost cause or winning strategy?

Once again, it seems that the ultra-conservative Duda administration is pushing against the EU to establish "independence" from the clutches of Bruxelles.

Seems to me that such is counter-productive, particularly since the whole idea of Europe ever since Metternich has been to unite the continent into a cohesive whole, each separately proud of their own individual languages and cultures, while able to turn to one single governing body in time of crisis.

As Germany welcomes in a new chancellor after nearly seventeen years, how will Poland fare in a post-Merkel Europe and isn't she better off a part of rather than separate from the European Union?
