Language / Polish Lessons Units [189]

Thank you for posting this thread. :)
I am currently just starting to learn Polish for my trip. (and every little-bit of help counts.) I do have a tape and booklet, but you can never have enough *help.* ;)

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]

I was brought-up to act as a *lady* so my goal is to find a *gentlemen* in return. :) I can't stand rude people, whom only care about 'what do I get out of this if I am kind or care?' (thinking about themselves first.)

I just act kind to others, in good-manners to respect and behavior; because that is whom I am. :) (I enjoy being kind to others.) Not for gaining anything in return.

It is a lovely thing to know, that in the UK, men are still being braught-up to treat women as a lady. and I feel that it does not matter if you are a woman or man, you need to treat others as you would like to be treated. (whether you are Polish, English or not.)

Genealogy / Polish person's average height? [210]

So, most of the men in Poland are tall?
I am a tall woman, (5 feet, ten inches.) and I was looking-up, out of curiosity of what the average man is in Poland.

I know a few people online, that have told me that there are a few men that they know whom are five feet four inches, in Poland. (I am american, irish decendant.) But, either way I was considered *tall* for my age in America. I am the only tall woman in my family.. all of the other women are short. (five feet to five foot two.)

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

Wow, that's actually a good-thing..with not having a wide swearing vocabulary in Poland; or any country. :)

-Huh, it's good to know these things.. so, if I ever travel over to Poland; I will know if someone doesn't like me. XD :D loll


..I kind of thought, there would be more swears or vulgar words used, then what was mentioned here.. Just like one of the guests mentioned:


You have to be a local resident / been brought-up there: in order to learn what the other swears are., to etc. It's one of those "many-things", you have to be there for awhile or sometime.. until you can understand more, or grasp it better.
