Let's hope PiS's new tax plan for foreign companies inserts some life into Polish stocks, no more privileges for foreign owned companies, no more cheating.

A company that has headquarters in Poland is regarded as Polish company and ends up on WIG20 but it may be owned by foreign investors, example is Biedronka.

I am waiting to see you write here in Polish and not once (anyone can use internet translator) but few times and without delays. You talk about others but others are not here, you are, show me how well you do in Polish, it's so easy, easier than English, well, where is your example?
some of us speak Polish all day every day (and at a far, far higher level than your English).

Good, it's good sign, stocks comprising the index are mostly foreign owned not Polish. Poland's common people did not gain anything from it for years, it is time for change.
Yup, the catastrophic fall in the value of the WIG20 and the value of the złoty confirms that it is lifting Poland from her knees and throwing her straight down on her face.

No, only you spelled it wrongly, I do not have the required letter "ł" on my keyboard, hence the form, that is all, you are trying everything you can.
I was not referring to university level but your level of language skills.
We both spelled szkoła incorrectly!!

I think I know what schools teach what in Poland or you know better? Common teach me then, go ahead, show me how you know better, are you game enough? Yes, it's primary school (szkola podstawowa).
At a quick glance there are three verbs in Lyzko's sentence.

Some standards apply to both languages, next time you write make sure to include at least one verb when constructing a sentence.
[quote=Atch]This is part of your hoity-toity nonsense that doesn't endear you to other members. I think that's upper-intermediate to advanced level, is that right? Firstly I would say that you don't need that level to have an idea of how easy/difficult a language is. Once you get beyond basic level in any language, and you have a modicum of intelligence/common sense, you can see what's stretching before you. If it makes you feel as if you need to go and have a lie down then you know where you are in terms of difficulty.
InPolska made a valid point about certified documentation, what you did in school is not that relevant (in Poland we all do that in primary school - foreign languages are part of the curriculum), show us that you posses adequate expertise (thoroughly substantiated) to pass judgement in any area of English language which you claim to know well enough to assess its mastery in the writings of others on this forum, especially texts of non-English speakers. What is most laughable is that you pick on Polish speakers here for making trivial mistakes in English and you are yet to produce one word in Polish. Why don't you start communicating here in Polish (in the off-topic section); if you have the audacity to be so trivial and picky towards Polish people then you show us Polish what you can do in our language, for otherwise, it is as if you can dish it out but you can't take it, if that's the case then DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS IF YOU ARE INCOMPETENT YOURSELF!
English should once again not be evaluated by Polish standards.

You must be British, I will explain it to you clearly so you understand. Present continuous is a tense that describes what one is doing at the present time or what one is going to do in a very near future based on current activity or evidence. The phrase: "I am going to Germany next week" does express intention based on present evidence, there has to be some readiness to take trip to Germany (purchaed tickets or packed bags) so the "I am going" is forever attached to the present moment, it starts or continues right at this moment. The expression "I am walking" is part of present continuous tense that describes the current moment, the person asking the question: "What are you doing?" may not see that someone is currently walking, both parties may be talking on the phone, so the question is quite valid as is the answer. Also, it is not about what is logical, it is about the principle of English grammar, it does not have to be logical - the fact remains that one is walking down the street and it is legitimate to use this description to paint a picture of what is happening at the time. You have taken one item out of context and you pinned onto the entire present continuous tense.
In contrast, in Polish, while tenses are simpler each verb featured in them splits in two main forms and then into further forms comprising between 70 to 85.

Are you naturally stupid or just being stupid (are you getting a feel for it now?)? Anyone feel free to explain to this English speaker his language because a foreigner just did but he did not get it such is a level here. When someone asks you, while you are walking down the street as to what you are doing you answer: "I am walking" you do not answer: "I walk". Now do you understand?
Personally I never walk down the street shouting 'I am walking' and when I light a cig I don't shout out 'I am smoking'.

Your Polish is truly horrible (I know your broken Polish) and I can say with all confidence that it is no match for the English of many Polish speakers here on this forum and outside of it, so I would suggest you do no limit your shortcomings to just inability to count - don't be funny.
You are partially bit not quite right about problems Polish speakers face with English.Tenses are a problem but have in most cases have clearly defined rules as in "I do" - statement about doing something on regular basis in contrast to "I am doing" - statement about doing something at this very moment, this is not difficult to learn and most Polish know the difference. While less clear distinction between "I would' and "I would have" or "I have" and "I have had" there comes some difficulty. Articles are the least difficult with definite article like "the" denoting the specific subject matter (a noun) and the indefinite one "a" being the more general one, while "an" (another indefinite article) occurs before a bowel, this is all not difficult. Prepositions are the ones most difficult as these have to be learned mostly by experience, there is no clear rule to them. I would also add to the list the irregularity of English spelling as a category in English gramma that poses difficulty for Polish speakers.
But, yes, BACK TO POLISH FINALLY

I read your comments and you come across as a weak man (argument wise) and slightly frustrated person at times, trying to prove forcefully your correctness, you are in fact doing the opposite, you are proving how wrong you are the more you dwell on a topic. Your English is erroneous at times, your punctuation for example has some shortcomings, go back and inspect your mistakes and then come back and speak of your glory, but it is funny how you gloat here while English is your native language, am I not right? Do I prance around telling English speakers here how good my Polish is (despite how easy or difficult the language may be)? I would have to be insane. Do you not need a psychologist perhaps?

You are trying very hard to sound intellectual, you have done it a lot but the way you do it comes across as an attempt by someone who has nothing to show for in real life so he tries very hard here where he can show off to mostly uneducated people to cover up his shortcomings in other areas. I sense you would like to able to write in Polish the way average Polish writes, at least, so that you can tower above others here. You trying to make up for the shortcomings in Polish language by stating how good your Polish is in comparison to the English of non-English speakers. My advice is that you compare yourself among most of the Polish people and you will see that their English, German, Spanish or Italian is much better than your Polish, it is easy to do that on PF but try real world. Your showing off is only tetament to your desire to appear better than others in something but you are getting frustrated because you have been criticised for your Polish by Polish people whom you think should be more stupid than you and so you can accept that you are worse in something than they are. You need a psychologist to first tell you to stop dreaming that you have to better than others, you are only lowering yourself further. Those who think they are better than others are actually the ones who are inadequate.
ON a trip = to be travelling, auf Reise sein .. no excessive quotes..
