Why is the Polish language so difficult?

Rich is just trolling as usual, that's all.

...nobody follows because everybody wants to be a poet...or talk like an old woman giving a bath to a 2-year-old toddler.

...noga, nozka, nuzenka, nuzuchna...buzia, buzienka, buziuchna...If I misspelled, I am happy...


If I were trolling, I would be speaking Polish at home with my Polish-born wife. This BS ended in 1975 when my first daughter turned 2. Never since...except for the Polish deli nearby...

I wish you would shut up. You are spamming this forum and jabbering like an old woman.

Rich hates all that he can't achieve.

I achieved more than you...including MSEE at WUT and Polish good enough to translate a book from English to Polish in 3 months...by hand ... no word processor ...in 1966.

In "America", my name is on over 40 US patents...owned by my "blood sucking", very capitalistic employer...but still better than nothing...

My greatest achievement: My daughters who don't speak a word in Polish and self-identify as 100% Americans...no hyphens...no dual citizenships...just perfect...

We've only your word. Let us hope there is veracity therein.
I passed German on to my son.

I didn't create that link.

That's not an achievement, it's a failure.

Failures are measured in dollars lost. Skip poetry.

How much did I lose by having daughters who are indistinguishable from any other American girls?

Also, why would they need Polish in the US? What about Estonian or Albanian?

Have you ever talked to them about it? An additional language broadens your horizons. I think so.

He can't hear you, Alien. He never will.

Many times. The response was always the same: No.


Maybe in Europe. Zero benefit here.

I wish I could shed my Polish language and accent. Nobody offered me a free cup of coffee because I know this language.

In fact, when visiting Poland in 2017, I had to ask some Poles to switch to English to make them speak more slowly.

I just couldn't keep up with their rate and with the words I never heard before.

Freedom is not measured in gratuity, my friend!
Opening up to the world means getting to know your neighbors as individuals, not as stereotypes.

Couldn't have imagined living and working abroad as I did for as long as I did without knowing the local language(s). Would've been bored out of my guord.

Guess you have either a higher tolerance for boredom than yours truly or merely a thicker skin.
Or maybe just a thicker head.

I avoid people who live here and don't speak English.

There's nothing they know that I want to hear about.

Also,..I never wanted to live abroad. The US has everything I need. I feel more at home here than I did in Poland.

I couldn't concur more roundly! Positively bugs the bejessus out of me.

that's weird thing to flex about on Polishforums (or elsewhere).

Pan Ryszard jest dziwiakiem, nie, on jest prawdziwym WARIATEM!!

Not flex...Brag...and brag some more...

This Polish forum is the weirdest Polish forum anywhere in our solar system and beyond...

...99.99999 percent in English...in Illinois, not Warsaw, and protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution...Real Polish...sure...


Dziwakiem, not dziwiakiem.

Learn Polish...

Tell it to your psychiatrist. We are not here to listen to your BS or cure your mental issues.

If that's your greatest achievement, I wonder what other lesser achievements of yours you are bragging about here are all about. Did you patent hammering a nail on the head with a hammer? Instead of using your forehead to do that job?
Seriously, your great accomplishment is - you doing nothing. Not a thing. LOL! What an idiot you are to constantly brag about it here. I took pity on you for a long time and said nothing, but you are really asking for it.

Dzieki, Rysku! To bylo blad typografyczny.

Children growing up in a foreign country will still learn the local language perfectly. Their emigrant parents are unable to help them in any way. In fact, the only thing they can do is raise them bilingually. This is what happened to my children.

Not mine.
My son was raised with German and English!

If anything, they are often impeding their process of learning by communicating with them in the local language. More often than not, they make a lot of mistakes, and children need to unlearn these later. So, in this regard, the parents are secondary or not needed at all. Here, Novi puffs his chest, waiting for a medal for nothing. What a clown.

So bilingually.

You betcha!
Wouldn't have had it any other way.

A niechaj narodowie wżdy postronni znają,
Iż Polacy nie Gęsi, iż swój język mają.

A lovely quote however the word "wżdy" doesn't seem easy to use.
