The best way for a Polish person to learn English?

G&S on the legitimate London stage is an excellent way to hear the highest of RP known to the English-speaking world:-)

Yes, because it's annunciated very clearly.

Sadly, it's very very rarely on the London stage nowadays, and for decades has been the territory of scarily bad provincial am dram.

Quite.

You've got me thinking about learning English through classical music. Pop and rock have problems sometimes with poor lyrics. Something well enunciated, clear grammar, accessible to A2/B1. It could work well.

The best way for a Polish person to learn English is to use it every moment you are awake and stop looking back. There is no back.

In Poland, English is like riding a bicycle. It's fun to be able but the opportunities are rare.

Joining Polish Community is the fastest way to learn English.

broken english...

AMEN!!!

As usual, Rich is out there trolling again, trying to translate his private, yet public, distaste for
things Polish, especially the language, into a reason why the Poles should speak English while
he never has to utter a word in Polish.

Idiotic as always.

I got promoted several times only because I was fluent in English. I did it by banning Polish at home and at work.

My kids and grandkids don't know one Polish word. I couldn't be more proud...

As I look back, my Polish didn't get me a free cup of coffee anywhere...only Polack jokes...

This is how I learned to never admit I was from Poland. Instead, I was from Russia, hoping not to be fact checked ...

You can't "ban" a language anymore than you can mandate its use,
save in the private sector, for example the airline industry, where there
must be an international language for purposes of safety measures! It just happens
to be English, for the simple reason that it is the most widely recognized language in the world!

There's also an app with which I'm certain you're familiar, called "Speak & Translate", available
everywhere and used in any situation in which the interlocutor doesn't know the other person's
language.

The fact remains that more and more teens, the next along with the current generation, are often so
pig ignorant of all but how to use their i-phones etc. that they are an embarrassment to our society.

I can remember numerous engineering majors in college who were not only competent in math and
technology, but super literate and often were fluent in at least one foreign language, usually German.

The Poles did.

They banned Wymysorys. By the time they unbanned it, the danger was done

Sounds a bit like what the Germans did in order to ban Wendish or Sorbian during WWII.
Nice point, jon. Thanks,

Yes, similar. Unfortunately there were far fewer speakers of Wymysorys and a drive in some areas around Wilamowice towards Polish identity in the same period. The language is almost lost.

There is no need to check anything, they can be recognized by their appearance.

@jon,
In parts of Lusatia, today Lausitz, an extant Slavic language was spoken
long after the War, when apparently it was banned. Today? Anybody's guess.

They still have bilingual road signs as far as I know

Minority languages should be cherished. The French are probably the worst in Europe by far at protecting them. Arguably they despise them.

The Spaniards under Franco weren't so hot either!
