Travel / Krakow - any 24h food place where i can order a pizza or something like that online? [15]


If it took an hour for delivery, I don't think someone would thank you very much for getting them out of bed, at 2am for a pizza.

Language / Word clarification: niespodzianka, dziwić / zdziwiłem. [17]


These are expressions of quantity, similar to large, larger, big, bigger.

dużo is used with nouns that cannot be counted like water,noise. Wiele is used with nouns that can be counted like cars, books.

Zeti will hopefully see this and put us both right:)

polishmama when creating a new thread, please put it in the correct forum. News, politics was not the correct one for this. :)

Kaszanka would be one Polish food that I dislike. Bigos doesn't look very appealing when you first see it, but tastes nice, so thumbs up for that.

Language / Bought "Rosetta Stone" software and trying to learn Polish... [59]


Obviously you should make sure that your microphone is configured. Try recording sound in Windows sound recorder.

If you are unable to record, you may need to select the microphone you are using as the input device.
Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Multimedia/Audio and choose the microphone you are using as the preferred device for recording.
Click on the box below which says "Use only preferred devices."
Go back and retry recording with Sound Recorder.

If it is an legit Rosetta Stone software version, then they should have a support section on their website.

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


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.

USA, Canada / Travelling to Poland from the U.S. on a expired Passport [43]

I have seen this also a couple of times at my local airport over the years. In my opinion the OP is taking a big chance with an expired passport. At the end of the day the personal at the check in will have the final say, and in this day and age with much security, it doesn't look too good.

Nice idea though and I wish you well with it. Maybe you should get your girlfriend to check each new part for errors.

Anyone over the "limit" endangering others lives, is indeed an idiot. I assume there will be a breathalyser if in doubt?
