Travel / Holiday in Poland - do I need to learn Polish? [26]

should I learn some polish phrases before I holiday in Poland?

It really depends where you're going and if you will be using public transport etc. If you're going somewhere like Warsaw / Krakow you may will find plenty of English speakers. But if you go to a little corner shop it's not all self-service and you will need to ask the shop-keeper for what you want.

Life / Electricity in Poland: plug and voltage? [72]

Voltage in Poland is 220V (compared to 110V) in the USA...
some laptops and some phone chargers are designed to work with a variety of voltages. So check your equipment. Double the voltage will mean quadruple the current and kaboom!

Language / Problems remembering Polish vocabulary [20]

My memory isn't great either. Repetition was the key for me. When I started learning I used this "fill in the blanks" quiz. There are thousands of words on there. Goethe Verlag

goethe-verlag.com/tests/EO/EO.HTM

The answers are at the top of the page, but as you progress you can always scroll the page down so that you can't see them.

Life / Do expats living in Poland speak Polish? [233]

All good advice Magdalena

you can field-test your full phrase on google

When searching google for a phrase don't forget to enclose your search phrase in "quotation marks" otherwise google will just serve up a list of webpages that contain the words from that phrase

Me and lefty are working on this week's omnitram. hold the front page!

JustysiaS has spent the afternoon telling people exactly what she thinks of them

southern is thinking about chatting up polish girls but worried that he won't measure up

amanda91 is desperately trying to avoid crazed stalkers...

Seanus is in rehab being cured of his addiction to posting on PF...

espana is practicing his English grammar

Wroclaw is keeping everyone on topic

pgtx is adding dots to everything she says..............

Polskadoll is moderating in a harsh but fair way

ShelleyS still doesn't like to think of herself as a racist

espana has thrown a cow pat at himself click <here> if you want to use the Splat-a-Twat application

Wroclaw Boy is still driving on the left-hand side of the road despite having lived in Poland for a while now

McCoy is still deciding whether to shave off the other half of his beard

ZIMMY is campaigning for men's rights

wildrover is down on the farm, has turned his Harley into a baling machine

adibjaber still thinks he is in with a chance with Amanda

Off-Topic / An English Version of Gadu-Gadu? [105]

Nope, it's really quite advanced.

Must give it a try. i have skype, msn, yahoo messenger, google talk all eating up my resources....
What I do like about yahoo messenger is that it tells me the moment I have an email (bt/yahoo).

I suppose you can only send text messages, rather than voice chat with the likes of skype etc?
