@Ironside: If someone calls me stupid because I won't believe in god, this has nothing to do with " accepting an other persons opinion " it's clearly an insult and provocation, and it feels wrong if mods punish me for defending my point rather than punishing the guy who came up with such insulting claim.

So please don't even try to comment if you haven't got a clue what this was about.

Not really, moderating is to punish the real troublemaker, not people who defend their place against these trolls.

Merged: Am I the only one getting warnings for posting off topic?

I was bashed by two religious id***s, and I was getting warnings for posting off topic, while they did not get anything.

The mods do not seem to be as neutral as I thought. If you are not polish and don't believe in god, you only can LOSE in this forum.

This is BS. It's totally normal that some thread discussion go in an other direction. It's called human. If the thread-subject leads to an other subject, let people discuss! Especially when the subject is already answered anyway. All of us are here to discuss, and it would just be annoying to always open up a new thread just because a discussion took an other path.

In real conversations you also discuss about everything and don't say " Oh, you are changing the topic? We have to make an extra appointment about it ", no you just go ahead.

Besides that, it should be allowed to defend your position. Some people on this forum come up with total brainwashed crap, it's normal to defend your opinion, but no..you get a warning for being off-topic. How about warning or banning brainwashed religious trolls ? Who want to force their believe on people?

Oh I forgot..you have no rights if you are not Polish and strictly Catholic.

@Pol attorney

You made my laugh.

My grandparents are all married outside church without any religious reasons, and they are still married. Same goes for my parents, many other couples I know, and myself.

God does not exist, so there is nothing that can collapse because of him. But if you believe in him, go for it. But please stop claiming things will go a negative way if people don't base their life on him or believe in him.

To me it seems pointless. I would get more money out of it, if I would just offer my services by myself, without a foreign company standing behind me and taking away parts of the money they would pay me as a whole if I would do it all myself.

I have been teaching German for a while, and I did not need some company finding students for me.

@Chemikiem. Thanks ! I will do give it some more time.

I also agree with your second part about languages. I've learnt and I am still learning quite some languages without any type of classroom experiences. Just learn-programs & life-experiences. Learning by doing.

Well, I personally didn't ask anything.

Besides that, I met my WIFE via internet, and we are happily married. Nothing wrong with it. Welcome in the century of advanced communication technology ! The OP might be interested in Polish culture, or has some sort of mental connection to Poland. I see no issue with him wanting a Polish partner. But I won't discuss this any further, since it would not lead to anything. Some people believe in partner-search via internet, some do not.. I guess that's how it rolls.

In fact they are looking for English teachers in a " Polish forum ". This can't be a professional school.

And as you've already mentioned..1 year teaching experience... I mean everyone started at some point! But without any English qualifications? I wouldn't got there. I rather improve languages using many different sources.

Sounds like you are insecure and feel pressurized by foreign competition.


Really? Didn't you say Poland wasn't a brothel ?


Sure? I know quite some standard guys who are happily married to Polish women.


Why is that?


Of course you are not !


Do you even know his background, why he is in Poland? Are you building up claims about someone because of one question?


You are right, but your emotional-expressions say something totally different.

Honestly, joking aside.. You have no clue what you are talking about. It's easy to see that you have some sort of complexes & it's a fact that Polish women are quite interested in French,German,English,Swedish etc men ! It's not only because they have money, it's because they are successful, different and something new. It's in female nature to go for successful men, and as I've said..I know quite some couples which include a female Pole, non of them is a gold digger or lost interest somehow...NON.

PS: You might clear your mind before you write such stuff.

Just go out there, talk to some, and behave like a gentleman. It's Poland ! Not Afghanistan.

You might try a partner-find-website.

USA, Canada / Polish women are not to be trusted! They are out to get American men just for money. [62]


I don't think all Polish women are like this.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

@Ktos

I also can't use the term " love ". I love my wife, I love my parents. But how can I love a country? A country is a land, a government and a massive amount of people, hard to love something you hardly know. Even Poles can't know all other Poles and everyone in the government.

The title should be " Why are you in to Polish culture " or " Why do you like Poland " .

If I would have to use " Love " in connection with a country, I would say I love the UK, because this is the country I live in, I buy my food in, I breath the air in, I am safe in. Would be weird to " LOVE " a place I don't even live in.

History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]

I personally think that people who DISLIKE an entire nation ( which of course also includes the people living there ), are people who have not much of an education.

I mean, it's always the same people who dislike entire nations based on historical events. People who build their opinion on cliches and bad historical events. Why would I dislike Germans for what they have done in ww2 ? I dislike Germans who actually have done bad stuff in ww2, like old SS veterans, but not actual Germans who haven't even taken part in WW2. The same goes for Russia/Soviet Union.

So I would say, Poles don't dislike Germany or Russia at all, only uneducated Poles who feel like they have to stick on events that happened 71 years ( counted from the end of ww2 ) ago.

Most people who actually fought and suffered in ww2, are not even alive anymore. WW2 survivors are dead because of their age, or are this old that they can't even remember their own name anymore.

UK, Ireland / My bad experiences with Polish neighbours in UK (not meant to offend) [173]

@ryouga

I think what you are encountering there are simply " chavs ". Nothing I would refer to a nationality or heritage.

All you can do is, to report it to the Police if it seriously annoys you, or to just try to involve with them, maybe you find some new friends?

PS: Of course you don't HAVE TO learn the languages of people who migrate to your country, but it wouldn't hurt to learn Polish. I mean, there are many Poles in the UK, and it is an interesting language and an interesting country which I had some great holidays in.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

@LoneStranger

Well, there are quite some reasons! To me it evolved slowly.

At the age of 14/15 I found out that my great-grandfather ( I've never met ) was Polish. So I started to build up an interest in Polish culture and language. About 3 years ago, I moved to the UK and noticed that Poland has quite some similarities to Germany, especially when it comes to food. So I was even more interested in Poland. Now I started to learn Polish language, cook Polish food and try to meet Polish people.

You have to know that I always was interested in slavic countries like Russia, my favour for Poland came quite late, but is one of the most serious interests I have in a country besides the UK I live in.

Language / Polish Language Exchange Thread [141]

Merged: Hello everyone.

Hello everyone / Dzień dobry!

My name is Franz and I am a German living in the UK. I am 23 y.o and I live here since about 3 years. I recently started to learn the Polish language ( I am using memrise,youtube and sometimes write and speak to Polish people, online ). I am a total beginner, so I wont be able to say more than dzień dobry, witam and how are you in Polish ( for now ). The reason I learn Polish for is because I find the country interesting, like the language, the food and because my great-grandfather was from Poland ( I've never met him though, it just raised interest ).

However, I am here to find some Polish friends in the UK and maybe even in Poland. Would be nice to talk ( write first ) to someone who's mother tongue is Polish.

Please note that I'm married and not looking for any relationship.

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [437]

I've never met any Polish women being disrespectful towards me! I am not a native English, but you wont realize where I am from until you talk to me for a while, even then it might be hard to impossible to identify me as a German for most foreigners.

I've met plenty of disrespectful male poles, but never any disrespectful female poles. Maybe because I am male ?

Language / Extremely Hard - Polish the hardest language to learn [226]


I am a native German speaker, and I don't feel like Polish words are hard to pronounce. Yes, they might take some " repeats " here and there, but in general it doesn't make the entire language harder to me, just because some difficult sounding words. If you take your time to read them, you can easily pronounce them.
