Cultural disparities shown through Polish and English languages

Exactly! Only brilliant Poles/Polesses can, darling.:):):)
You can`t. Do you know why???? hahaha

It's incomprehensible, he left as an adult man and forgot the Polish language.

I can speak fluent Polish and not every Pole can speak English as effectively
as those who studied either German or Russian!

Oh, they'll pretend that they "love" to communicate in English, yet make oodles of errors
which in my experience they rarely if ever endeavor to correct.

On the other hand, they'll usually make every endeavor to correct a foreign visitor's Polish
at the drop of a hat.

As with many Europeans, the Dutch among the worst offenders in this regard, far too many Poles somehow
feel that if nearly every utterance is not peppered with the "f-curse", then they're not speaking EnglishLOL

No you can't. At least judging by your posts in Polish.

He can't write in normal English, either. Even the natives here have a hard time with his pseudo aristocratic version of the language.

Plus, I never trust a man who doesn't swear. That's why at the top of my list in this respect is PAK and the assfucker sliming around is at the bottom.

But Lyzko didn`t say he can speak perfect Polish. He only mentioned fluent and that`s sth else. :):):)

Fluent is actually for him perfect. Fluent is the highest level a foreigner can achieve. Even higher is the native speech, which, for example, in the case of a stutterer, will not be fluent.

Is a misunderstood word. It's not a synonym for excellent. You can y fluent and make a lot of mistakes; immigrants to a country who learnt the lańguage around them rather than from a textbook are often very fluent but go against a lot of the principles of grammar.

Just like Lyzko or pawian! hahaha

Tak jest!

Most Polish speakers would be horrified by what they said if they had to proofread it before publication.

The single worst offense... that fake stumbling as evidence that he is thinking and composing in real time.

Next: cutifying to add emotion...FY, Polaks, and your babunia talk...

In which language???

Exactly, darling!!!

It can be explained easily. The European hamster was widespread in Poland more than in England/Britain. Why so???

Or maybe Poles hamster things at home and the English squirrel things away from home.

Same as in German, "hamstern" or "to hoard".

This means that European hamsters were once widespread in Central Europe like Germany and Poland.
While they weren`t in British Isles. That`s probably why so many Brits believe they aren`t Europe but sth separate.

I heard some people in Germany like the swimming pool a lot. I maybe shoulnt care as well

More the sea than hamsters.

Having said that, there are plenty of pet hamsters.Personally, I've always seen them as walking cat food.

Not the same as European hamsters coz those pets are of Syrian origin and the trend to keep them started after WW2. While the European hamster has been with us, Europeans, for thousands of years. Ha!!


My countryside classmate once mentioned his two hamsters had escaped from the cage and were probably consumed by cats coz he never found any carcasses afterwards.

There are also r*SSian hamsters there.

Lots of dormice and voles in the wild. All the same sort of things.

Yes, those little orcs... :):):)

The speaker in an audio exercise said: I am making dinner. Where am I??? The student properly answered: In the kitchen, although he misunderstood dinner thinking it was a Polish word. What exactly???

Cultural disparities shown through Polish and English languages

One is spoken by 40M. The other everywhere else...

It's like comparing a sling with a Russian hyper rocket...

Exactly!!! No more people in the world are able to grasp it and speak on native level. Ha!!!! We are special.

I think it is about 60 million, including Poles abroad and their children.

In a matching exercise with food and container words, a few of my students, in different classes, wrongly matched a bag of cereal instead of a box of cereal. In most cases cereal in Poland is available in packages not boxes.

English speakers use their buying a pig in a poke.
While Poles/Polesses say : buy a cat in a sack.

Interesting story with those cats. After WW2, Polish settlers came to Regained Lands aka former Eastern Germany which somehow were deprived of the feline population. Settlers paid through the nose for ANY cat that was available.

Trading two big sacks of wheat and an ex German bike for a Polish born/raised cat is even depicted in the most popular Polish comedy. The saying is much older than the postwar events but coincidentally they hit the nail perfectly.

In German too I seem to recall a similar idiom.

That's right, the Germans are buying 'eine Katze im Sack'.

Precisely, just as long as they don't 'die Katze aus dem Sack lassen', he-he!
Americans "spill the beans":-)
