Language / What are the best Polish - English Dictionary and Learning Books? [24]

Just interested if anyone else has any different recommendations?

Try looking on Amazon, WHsmith and Waterstones websites to see which ones will fit your budget. In my opinion the best one is the two volume Oxford, PWN, Polish- English dictionary, very expensive at around £75.00 but they also have a few "slimmer" versions which may be around £20.00. Another good one at around £15.00 is the Hippocrene standard Polish-English dictionary which has a phonetic guide to pronunciation.

Love / Polish Pet Names For Girls. [156]

yes...

Thanks for confirming :)

rule #1 it must have an "a" at the end in order to make it feminine.

I think I've now got to grips with rule #1. ;) What are the other rules, if any?

Joanna... Joasia... Asia - it only takes two ;)

I have also heard of an "Aśka", would this follow on from Asia?

Life / How would you describe the Polish sense of humour? [66]

I like the "Embedding disabled by request" bit. Is that Polish humour?

I'll do a search for it instead.

Most times when you see that message, "double clicking" on the video screen will make it work. When posting a utube video it is always best to check in the preview box to see if there is any problems with the link. Hope this helps;)
