News / Should recent arrivals to Poland, such as Syrian migrants, be required to learn Polish? [10]


I think they definitely should learn some poish but I agree with Brummie and don't think they consider Poland and polish language as target country or target language.

Language / Polish names without a nickname (or less frequently shortened) [61]


Yes, you're right. I didn't think of that one :D.


My wife's name is Angelika and I have NEVER heard anyone calling her Angelika. Andzia and Angela ( Andzela ) are the versions everybody uses.
Rafal. I think doesn't get shorter.

Life / Why are Polish people such hypocrites about immigration? [36]

I don't really understand how can someone say: polish people do this or do that, Poland likes these people and hates some others.... I think it's a personal matter and can't be said for a nation of 40 million people. Yeah, maybe the majority are against the immigrants from the middle east but everyone has something they call a reason for thinking that way. People march against immigration everywhere : London,Berlin,Paris......what's different about Poland ?

Law / Polish certificate exam level B1 and institution / few questions about the Polish language [39]

Merged: Polish language certificate - which institution can issue this?

Hi everyone ,
I want to take the B1 exam (polish) and I'm wondering if there is any other institution where I can take it except: certyfikatpolski.pl/pl/ ?

Here it seems there will be no more exams for this year and there is no information about next year.

Law / New law for foreigners : No longer any need to submit documents before expiration of Karta Pobytu? [15]

Try the official websites better. People say different things,I submited the documents last year and it was as before, 45 days before the expiration.

Love / My Polish girlfriend is pregnant by cheating on me and wants this baby without my permission. Please help. [51]


So that's how abortion is called these days ?! Phucking hell guys, maybe somebody should tell him to murder both of them???!!! What is wrong with you people ?


Mate, if your rear gear doesn't work that well you should use condoms.In my opinion you should take your responsibilities and raise the child.

Law / 'Two years of continuously stay in Poland prior application' - Interpretation of clause in Permanent Residence [13]


Nope! I had exactly the same situation and didn't change anything in the process of getting the permanent permit.

Work / What kind of CV for a job in a multinational company in Poland; Europass or traditional one? Address problems. [19]

IMO you should add the adress man. One way or the other the HR is going to find out you don't live in Poland or you don't speak polish.

Genealogy / Angela Merkel is partially Polish. Her family name could be Kaźmierczak [208]


Well,it's Crow man. Only he understands what is he talking about. German nation doesn't exist, the poles are his brothers (because serbs haven't massacred anybody here ),russians are an example of tolerance,democracy etc,the rest of the world's population should be exterminated because they don't agree with Russia and Serbia and that's it. Heil Crow :)

News / Magdalena Ogórek - a new hope for Poland? [11]


Yeah, I agree :D :D

Work / Typical rate for 1-on-1 English lessons in Poland (Krakow)? [37]

A guy who worked in an english speaking country as a waiter ( currently is an intern at the company I work ) is chargind 25 PLN for 60 minutes, so I guess that's why the 60 PLN/hour is not so bad in my opinion.Of course it's not the same as getting lessons from an experienced native speaker but still it is causing the prices to fall.

Life / Vandalism on cars in Poland [64]

Thanks guys. P.S It's not only about my mirror and the scratches to be honest, it costs about 200 PLN to fix it. What bothers me is that nobody does anything to make this stop or at least to give a lesson to the stupid 20 something years old guys who are doing it. Last year one of the neighbours had his car completely destroyed( windows, all doors,bonet,side mirrors... everything smashed ).Anyway I'll do exactly as Jon said, let's see what the prosecutor says.

Life / Vandalism on cars in Poland [64]

Merged: Vandalism on cars in Poland

Hi everyone,
on Saturday at exactly 04:56 in the morning 4 guys( actually only 1 of them hit my car) passing in my street broke the mirror of my car and scratched the door ( earlier they hit another car on the other side of the road ) . Since in our building are 2 cameras I have everything recorded and I got it in my flashdrive and went to the police station. Now the question I have for you is: Is everywhere in PL that police actually don't give a **** about vandalism on cars or only in my city ? Even after giving them the flashdrive with the video from both cameras ( one of them showing the FACES ) of those guys the guy at the police station said: Well, you know it happens all the time.Now I don't see any solution to this except getting the baseball bat and finding at least one of them ( I don't think they live far from my place ) but then I risk going to prison.Ideas ?
