Polish Penpal/learning..?

Hello :) .

I am trying to learn the Polish language. I've been trying to learn for the past 2 years but didn't get too far. Having someone with the same hobby or is willing to help you out can be a lot easier for you to do/learn something.

So I'm looking for a "Polish Buddy." :D
This is for anyone who can fluently speak polish, is polish and wants help with their english, or just someone who is trying to learn.

Leave your e-mails or something like that!
Thanks you. :)

Edit this polish sentence for me please?

i want to say something like.. so now i have another sister? im pretty sure we havent ever met :P am i right?,,,,,,so here is what i wrote... and i need someone to correct it:

to co, teraz mam drugom siostre? ja jestem pewni ze my sie nie spotkali ... nie mam ratcie?

My family moved to America in 1911. On my mothers side of the family I am a pure blood Polish. I know that my great-great grandmother only spoke Polish, my great grandmother wanted nothing to do with it, my grandmother speaks a little Polish and my mom and I know a few words. My mom's maiden name is Kuzniewski. I want to know how I can learn about my roots because the information I just gave is all I know.

I have always been viewed as a little Polish girl, since I was a baby my mom always called me her "Little Polish Princess." I want to learn all I can about my ancestry and traditions etc.

For my wedding I looked up Polish wedding traditions and found a few that I loved. One was the family giving wine, bread and salt to the new couple. Another I loved was the Czypek. I don't know how accurate they are I just know that is what I found by doing research.

Please help me learn about where I came from.

How do I get ink off my car?

So a friend of a friend decided it would be cool to write on my side-view mirror. No problem, that came off just fine with nail polish remover. However there was a rather large line of ink down the side of my car on the door under the mirror. I used the nail polish remover on that as well but I am left with an outline and a faded line of the ink. How do I get it off?

1(K)a u mnie oki...może sie dziś spotkamy na imprezce

2(K) jak tam Imprezowiczko

Any letters in () are not for translation but instead for me.

I met this girl in school who I really like and thought it would be nice to speak to her in polish. Any useful girlfriend/boyfriend phrases and stuff like that.

Pronunciation of the Polish alphabet?

Can someone please list the Polish alphabet and write its sound right by it? Can you also give rules and examples too?
Example of how I want:
a-
b-
c- ts
etc.
I saw that but it wasn't helpful. It teaches you the pronunciations in polish, I need them in English.

I really want to learn polish, even though its SUCH a hard language! The only words I know are 'good' and 'thank you'.
But can you also tell me how you pronounce the words too. Cause with polish, how you pronounce it is always different to how it looks.

Thanks for your help!

Learn basic German and Polish online?

I am part German and Polish, and I want to touch on my roots. Someday I want to go to Germany and study for a semester during college (Spring Break next year I'm going for a week), as well as Poland if I could, and I just want to brush up on the basics--- alphabet, pronunciation, vital vocabulary/phrases, etc.

Does anyone have any good FREE online helping tools suggestions? It means a lot to me, to learn about where I came from, because the rest of my family doesn't really care. :S

Thanks in advanced

I don't mean the popular ones like Spanish, Italian, or Japanese but why is it when my friends and I learn new languages like Turkish, Polish, or Korean we're doing it for a significant other. Can't someone learn a language because it's appealing or intriguing?

Have you studied a language for sheer pleasure not for a bf/gf or job. Just for yourself?

Her future is uncertain at this point, but I just took the time to learn the Polish anthem on guitar. She is 90 years old and is full of polish pride. I figured it would cheer her up instead of just laying in the hospital bed, as I foresee her singing along. However, a friend just told me NOT to do it because she might think she's dying. She speaks no English and I have learned SOME Polish over the years to try to communicate with her but I feel music might be the best words I can give her. I plan on spending the night up there with her (and letting her talk to me in polish so I can pretend to understand :P ). Should I bring my guitar or not?
She wouldn't know.

Polish speakers? Help.?

My great grandma died when I was 5 and she spoke polish. I want to learn to speak polish. Do you know how or someone else tha knows how? That way I can learn some words in polish by email.

I'm writing a term paper on the success of Polish revolutionary Lech Walesa. He and other workers created this list of 21 demands which addressed topics such as salary, inadequate maternity leave, poor health care, etc. But all of my sources were unclear on specifically how many were achieved. Does anyone know or can give me a source that might help? Thanks so much!

I am a teacher at a high school in Scotland. Today a Polish pupil joined my class and she doesn't speak a word of English. I would love to find some online resources to help her learn the basics very quickly.
Thanks for the quick reply. I already know a few Polish phrases. I can say things like welcome, good day, how are you? , i have a question, do you have a question?, are you sure?, well done, yes and no. I really am trying to help her.

Some of these people that can't speak any English at all have been living in the U.S. for 25+ years. They don't even try, its like they expect you to speak their language. When Im working I often spend 5-10 min explaining to them before they understand, its very aggervating. If I can I get someone that can speak their language, but its not always avalible. I think their should be a law that makes it a requirement to learn the English language before they can become a U.S. citizen. If I went to live in mexico, I would learn spanish, so I can communicate, why can't they do the same. I don't have a problem with people that speak broken down english becouse at least their trying, and I respect that. For the most part I can understand what their saying. I remember one time someone that was polish said to a manager, "You speak English I speak polish, this a problem." I think thats uncalled for. I feel that if you come to america you should learn how to speak english. Does this agervate you?

What language would you like to know?

My native language is swedish, and i speak english and some spanish. I would like to know a slavic language, like polish or russian. I like how they sound and it's a more original choice than, let's say, french or german ;)

What about you?

Can anyone EDIT this bad spelling in POLISH?

im writng to my cuz and need hlpe because i cant spell in polish... help me out? it basically says...for me goes writing hard, but i can read in polish so you dont have to write in english. also maybe i wont take a kayak, and just learn how to swim well...

(i want to also add... "but hopefully you all are ok in poland? and everything is well")

dla mnie idze pisanie wolniej bo trudniej, ale ja moge czytacz po polsku to nie muszisz po algensku tesz pisacz. :P

i moze nie wezme kajak, i tilko nalucze sie jak plywacz dobze

Poll: Any Polish people here? :)?

I'm full-blooded Polish and I speak Polish but I can't read a lot of Polish (a little)

hej...z netem mialem male zamieszanie bo najpierw mieli przelaczac mnie na
inna predkosc ale niestety po raz kolejny doswiadczylem niekompetencji
ludzi tutaj...jedna osoba mowi ze podlaczenie ponowne zajmie 1 dzien a
druga ze cale 10 dni...poprostu odjazd....
no ale mam neta i jest OK;))

Wiesz ja nie powiedzlaem ze kazdy musi zyc swoimi sprawami....wyszlo tak
jakbym byl bezuczuciowym fecetem o sercu z kamienia ktorego zupelnie nie
ruszyla smierc kumpla....ja powiedzalem ze za jakis czas kazdy wroci do
swoich spraw ale raz na jakis czas wspomni Daniela i zrozumie jak go jest
brak wsrod nas....wiesz do mnie to nie dociera chyba jeszcze....pewnie
dotrze dopiero jak stane nad jego grobem...i ja tez slyszalem ze
samobojstwo....i myslalem o tym kiedys i doszedlem do wniosku ze kogo jak
kogo ale Daniela bym o to nie podejrzewal....ja wiem ze ostatnio jego
kontakty ze mna byly hmm dosyc ograniczone bo widzalem sie z nim pare razy
w roku i to przez ktortki czas ale zawsze sprawial wrazenie kogos kto ma
jakis cel w zyciu i do niego dazy....nie sprawial wrazenia kogos kto za
jakis czas moze zrobic cos takiego...wiesz ostatnio nad tym myslalem i
przyszly mi do glowy slowa piosenki Oddzialu Zamknietego "Samonty wsrod
ludzi, ktorzy mowia on nigdy nie jest sam" - wiesz Daniel mial wielu
znajomych ale ilu z nich bylo takimi prawdziwymi kumplami ktorzy by go
wsparli i pomogli...?? a moze on poprostu nie chcial rozmawiac o swoich
problemach....?? Nie wiem i chyba sie juz nie dowiem dlaczego to
zrobil....a tego co mowia inni nie chce sluchac bo jest w tym tyle prawdy
jak w tym ze po wypadku mialem :dziure w glowie i nie chodzilem...." Echh i
pomyslec ze byl u mnie jeszcze dzien przed moim wyjazdem....mam ze soba
nasze fotki jak bylismy na zamkach cos mnie podkusilo i wzialem pare fotek
z Polski powiedzlem sobie ze gdziekolwiek wyladuje te fotki beda razem ze
mna...tak czasem mysl o nim mnie napada idac ulica czy robiac cos...dlugo
mi zajmnie oswojenie sie z tym to pewne...

Prokuraotr?? heeeh no brzmi niezle...;))choc tyle ze nie adwokat bo ci
beda na najnziszych poziomach piekla zaraz pode mna...zreszta moj tata
twierdzi ze adwokaci sprzedaja swoja dusze za pienadze heeh....coz moj tata
jest czasem troche radykalny;))
I wiesz nie ma mnie za co podziwiac...ja nie robie nic
nadzwyczajnego...robie to co robi cala masa ludzi tutaj....
aaa powiem ci jaki numer odstawilem w ostatni dzien klasy...nie wiem czy
ci pisalem ale bralem speech - czyli przemawianie na forum klasy...balem
sie tego jak cholera ale poszlo nawet OK...no i na swoja najwazejsza
przemowe wybralem temat o imigracji.....w sensie ze nielegalnycm imigranta
powinno sie pozwolic zostac tutaj....wszystko zaargumentowalem i mialem
dane z rzada USA i z wiarygodnyc zropdel twierdzacych ze imigracja nie ma
negatywnego wplywu na gospodarke ze wrecz przeciwnie itp...krota
mowiac...dostalem glosne brawa na koniec(wiesz w sumie zawsze sie bije
brawo jak ktos skonczy przemawiac ale moje byly naprawde glosne;)) i
wywolalem 2 minuty dyskusji po mojej przemowie...poprostu wkurzylem
amerykanow a na twarzach imigrantow pojawil sie usmiech;)) nauczyciel podal
mi reke i powiedzalem ze bardzo dobra przemowa;)) heeh warto bylo...a do
takego a nie innego tematu to praktycznie niechcacy zainspirowal mnie
kolega z pracy ktory(amerykanin) mi powiedzal ze wedlug niego jesli o
statnowisko pracy w sklepie ubiega sie on i ma doswiadczenie i ktos kto nie
ma doswiadczenia ale zna procz angielskiego polski lub hiszpanski to
prezwaznie zatrudnai tego co zna dwa jezyki i ze wedlug niego to jest
dyskryminacja....no to oczywisce ja sie temu stanowczo sprzeciwilem mowiac
ze znajomosc jezykow to tez jest zaliczana do kwalifikacji pracy i
sczegulnie w USA gdzie tyle jest imigrantow jest to cenne bo ulatwia
komunikowanie sie z klijentami...takze w sumie delikatnie mu powiedzlaem ze
zamiast narzekac i mowic ze my imigranci zabieramy biednym amerykana
miejsca pracy niech sie lepiej zacznie jezykow uczyc...i zauwazylem ze to
tutaj boli wielu ludzi...ze ktos jest lepszy bo zna jezyk....takze czasem
pod przykrywka takich milych ludzi kryje sie zawisc i zazdrosc ze zatrudnia
ciebie a nie jego bo ty jestes lepszy bo mowisz dwoma jezykami...no ale nie
wszysty sa znow zli...;)) heeh wygadalem sie bo mi to strasznie na sercu
lezalo...bo czasem cie tutaj traktuja jak takie nic bo mowisz z akcentem i
nie jestes stad(wiesz pracuje w hotelu to sie rozni ludzie kreca;)) w
rzeczywistosci czlowiek jest wart wiecej niz oni...zreszta mam kumpla ktory
mowi bo francusku, angielsku, hiszpansku i jescze jakis afrykanski jezyk
uzywany w senegalu...gosc jest po studiach na sorbonie i naprawde
inteligenty facet a czasem ludzie go traktuja jak nic nie wartego goscia z
afryki i mu tlumacza jak wylaczyc alarm samochodowy,....bo gosc parkuje
samochody...;))
zreszta historykej z pracy to tez mam troche....;) aaa i powiem ci ze
ostatnio zaczalem palic...tylko tak wiesz rzadko dosyc...w chwilach
ciezkego stresu czy cos takiego...takze jedna paczka stracza mi na 3
miechy;)) a ty jak tam z paleniem??
OK koncze przynudzac juz bo to sie robi niebezpieczne powoli;))

Papa trzymaj sie i do nastepnego maila;))

In Loving memory-polish translation?

i want to get a tattoo for my grandmother who was polish, and i want it to say in loving memory. I don't know how accurate the online translators are so i want to know how to say it from someone who can actually speak polish =) thank you!

My salon uses acetone polish remover. I overheard another customer talking that it wasn't sanitary to use the same container as other people. Acetone removes superglue, so what bugs are going to grow in acetone?????

also is this correct?
jest moim przyjacielem płatniczych(my friend is paying)

Hello!

A couple of months ago all my languages packs suddenly disappeared, and I want to install Polish language pack, from Microsoft web I can't do it as Polish cannot be download, because you are supposed to have it in optional updates, but I don't have any idea how to make my PC shows all the optional updates again, so here is my question.

Do you have any link with Polish language pack for ULTIMATE Windows 7?, if not, please tell me how to make all the languages packs appear again.

10 points to whom has a solution.

Thank you very much in Advance!
Indeed, my Windows version is 64 bits.
