Language / Advanced Polish language learning - how? Looking for ideas. [6]

After finishing the beginner books, you have to do it yourself. That's also my struggle. Read papers, listen to polish radio, watch television (unfortunately I don't have that much time) and the most important thing for me is talking. Find a native speaker and exchange your languages.

Law / Any possibility to stay in Poland - refugee status in Germany denied (I am Muslim) [13]

1- your chances are zero, because in the EU you have to register as a refugee in the country of arrival, which is Germany. Every other country will just tell you to go to Germany. But since they already denied you, you just have to go back to Somalia.

2, 3, 4- n/a, see above

Language / What are the hard aspects of Polish according to its learners? - home essay [21]

What I find to be hard are the many irregular verb conjugations and the imperfective and perfective aspects. Though I know the rules, it is really hard to get a feeling for that, when to use which aspect. I have already learned many languages, including Latin and Greek, so no problem with the cases, but aspects are really really hard for me.

Food / What Polish foods and brands do you miss when you go to other countries? [216]


Heineken is Dutch.

Love / Learning a language solely for your partner [21]

I attended a course (in Germany) that was attended primarily by peolple who tried to learn it for their partners, contrary to me. I actually just started for fun, but I'm really serious, really want to become fluent once. So what I saw, was that the people learning it for their partner weren't really motivated. Well they were alittle, but didn't try so hard like I did. In one year they didn't really reach anything and many had already quit after half a year. Now I'm having a polish boyfriend, but that doesn't change anything, since I was already learning the language and trying my best.
