Okay, I have been learning Japanese for 3 months now. I have always wanted to learn Polish and in my place we have LOADS of polish people but no Japanese people. I only want to get to a conversational level in Polish but fluent in Japanese. Is it possible, thanks.

I am fluent in English, French and Polish and have always wondered what Polish sounds like to people who didn't grow up speaking it. Does it sound harsh, soft, fast or poetic? Does it sound similar to another language? This question is aimed primarily at speakers of a European language. Also specify what your native language is. Thanks in advance.

When the Jews were captured in the movie Schniders List, Weren't those Jews originally from Poland so how did they speak and communicate with the Germans? In the movie it shows them speaking English but what language did the Polish Jews speak with the Germans?
I can ask whatever I want. And no one has provided a good answer. If people are from Poland they won't know German and they Germans won't know Polish. So they can't talk to each other like they did in the movie. You failed to provide an answer probably because you do not know.

I'm only 14 years old, so please nothing too complicated. Also, I read some negative reviews about the Rosetta Stone version, though, so some alternate suggestions please. Thanks!

its not the one they put on at the salons it looks like regular nail polish but its a gel nail polish usually i heard you cant take it off with nail polish remover you have to use newspaper.if you guys know what nail polish im talking about please let me know i want to know where i can buy it,thanks:)

but they are easy to find anyway! thanks!

I bought a bottle of a strengthening nail polish awhile back and I need more. I don't remember what brand it was though because the label wore off. It's just a white polish, and I think the brand had a "z" in it somewhere. If you don't know of a brand like the one I'm talking about, what are some other good strengthening nail polishes?

I just want to learn BASIC Polish and I think because I have a good memory, it will take about about 2 weeks to a month if I study every single day for about half an hour.

BQ: What is your idea of BASIC Polish ??, heres mine

Days of the week
Hello
Goodbye
How are you
I'm fine thankyou
No
Yes
Numbers
Letters
And a few more, please give me as much sentences as possible which would be good to learn in Polish. Enough so I can have a normal conversation with someone. Thankyou !!

I need to know how to learn a language fast. Yes I know it takes time but like a year or two would be great. I need to learn Polish. If somebody knows and ways preferably free to learn how to speak Polish I would appreciate it. Thanks

Lets say I go to poland how long would it take to become fluent if I went out to restarents and stuff and had a native help teach me
how many years about
Also I have a basic grasp (greetings, some colors, basic words like you your ect.)

Otherwise it always turns out looking like crap even when I buy something more expensive like Revlon. It just ends up looking clumpy. I'm not talking about old polish either. I mean brand new polish.

It's a language I want to learn, but as an English speaker I can't find a lot of Polish learning material, especially materials that can lead to advance levels.

Polish seems to have less language materials then various other languages for the English speaker.

My brother just started dating a polish lady and first off the commuication is processing slowly. He knows very little about what her personal or lets say charateristics are. She has let him clearly know not to pick out her clothes. I have been to some web sites, but not having allot of luck finding anything. He is in the process of getting a divorce and him and this polish lady have all ready been talking about him getting an apartment so he can come see him. He is living with us at the moment. I have never met this lady yet. But I do not judge people. Am just trying to help make it a little easier for him to understand her.

I'd like to learn these as my top five languages to pursue a career as a translator. Most important is Arabic, followed by Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and lastly Polish.

I went on to Ancestry.com and researched my grandparents heritage and there parents and found out my grandmother is Polish or from Poland and my grandfather is from Canada. He is french canadian. I am 3 quarter french canadian and a quarter polish and cherokee indian. The indian is on my fathers side of the family.
I want to learn more about the French Canadian heritage. What is the best way to learn and understand the history? I would also love to learn to speak french.
Also where does the French Canadian originate from in Canada?

I have a lot of internet friends, and most of them are from Europe. They can all speak English fine, but I would love to be able to "Grasp the Basics" of what they're saying.

As just for typing and reading, which language would be the easiest for a native English speaker to learn? German, French, Dutch, Polish, or Norwegian?

Thanks in advance, John Doe.

Ok this sounds kinda stupid but oh well! I have glow in the dark nail polish that glows wen u put it agains light.. I was wondering if there are other ways beside light that makes it glow? cuz I'm not gunna be walking around with a flashlight to make it glow if u know what I mean! Thanks for listening to my stupid talk!
Thanks in advanced!!!:)

Do asians have any interest in learning croatian(hrvatski) language?
For those who don't know...
croatian is a South Slavic language spoken chiefly by Croats in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighbouring countries, as well as by the Croatian diaspora worldwide.[wiki]

I got the impression that other Slavic languages are popular such as russian and polish.

How is it that Popes seem to speak so many languages? Just looking at the current and former Popes.

Benedict XVI: German, Italian, French, English, Spanish, Dutch, and Latin, and has a knowledge of Portuguese. Also can read Ancient Greek and biblical Hebrew.

John Paul II: Polish, Italian, French, German, English, Spanish, Croatian, Portuguese, Russian and Latin.

What I want to know is, what language training program is the Vatican hiding?

Don't say Spanish because it is my native language so yea........i really like Russian but I don't know about that what do you think what language should i learn out of these....

Chinese (Mandarin)
Dutch
Japanese
Korean
Polish
Russian
Swahili
Swedish
Thai

After washing my car, can I just polish the few areas where scratches are present or am I suppose to polish the whole car?

I'm talking about polishing NOT waxing.

Since I'm partially Polish, I've been studying it. But it's so hard! Oh my gosh, I can pronounce everything but when I try to put it together in sentences or try to say more than something like "Dzien dobry" I get lost. How can I learn it better? (My grandpa spoke it when he was younger. No one else in my family does..)

Hello.

I have just started to learn German about a month ago using the 'Hugo in 3 months' audio CD course and I seem to be picking it up very quickly and really enjoying it. So I want to start learning another language and I'm quite interested in Polish. The Hugo series doesn't have a recent Polish course and I've looked on amazon but most of the learn Polish books featured on there seem to have bad reviews and seem really inadequate. I've seen a "Take off in Russian" book and CD published by Oxford University Press, but I know how complex their alphabet is and I don't really want to throw myself into the deep end by learning Russian, at least not just yet.

Can anybody recommend any good Book and CD language courses that might be some help? I'm looking for serious in-depth language learning here as well, not one of these god awful "learn before you land" type tourism books.

Thanks.

We are a Polish/ Portuguese couple living in Switzerland, we speak english at home, french and german at the job (official languages where we work). We'd like our son to communicate properly with his grandparents, with us and his friends. Which language should we teach him first? Why?

I would like to learn Polish (especially conversational). I've been directed to the site below, but the speaker is much too fast, and gives long phrases. I'm good with languages, but I can't make out at all what he's saying. It's a shame, because otherwise it looks like a well laid-out website.

TIA!

Just check this site about British students and all the mistakes they make:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1042425/Why-ignore-bad-spelling-Lecturer-calls-amnesty-students-20-errors.html?ITO=1490

Americans are even worse. Why does that happen? What do you think about that phenomenon?

Here are some comments from non-native English speakers, and I agree with them:

Paula, Italy: I am a foreigner, I studied your beautiful, elegant, expressive language as a foreign language, and I don't make spelling mistakes. Most of my friends and colleagues who also studied it as a foreign language don't make any spelling mistakes either. We're not an educated elite, we studied English in very average, ordinary schools, no more than three or four hours a week. How come British "students" cannot manage?

Eve, Poland: This idea is ridiculous. Besides, I don't understand how people can make such mistakes in their own language. English is my second language and I wouldn't be caught dead misspelling these words.

CC7, Switzerland: I'm not a native English speaker and yet I would write all the words in this list correctly. That's called "learning", and it should also -especially- go for native speakers!

Wilma, Netherlands: My Dutch students were extremely surprised when I told them that lots of English people could not distinguish between "there" and 'their" and "it's" and 'its".
By the way English is my third language.

Raymond, Germany: I am a language trainer in Luxembourg and to give in to the bad spellers is a capitulation which signals how little respect British people have for their own language. German, French and even Polish speakers don't suffer similar problems because they are taught to hold their language in high regard. (...) I tell my international language training participants to ask Scandinavians or Dutch people how to write if I am not there to help. Furthermore, I know one British person at the place I work whose letters are corrected by his French boss because they are full of mistakes.

Anthony, Malta: I learnt the English Language at a state school in Malta fifty years ago. Thankfully great emphasis was laid on this most important of languages then and now. Spelling mistakes were anathema. How can people, born and bred in England, be unable to spell words in their own language ? How low can standards in this once Great country get ?

I mean really, how did those people get accepted in the university in the first place, if they don't know how to spell? I'm shocked, just like other non-native English speakers, and don't understand how someone can be unable to spell their own language - especially university students.
To Vangorn: You're wrong, it's not true that in all other languages one letter always represents one sound. French spelling seems even more irregular than English to me, in Greek you have 5 ways to write the "i" sound, etc. But those people care about their language. And if foreigners can take effort to learn English properly, so should native speakers.
To Pinguino: I agree that English spelling is more difficult than Italian, but they also don't seem to care enough. There are some rules in English too, but many people don't follow them. Some of them don't know some really easy things, like apostrophes for example.

To Martina: Read it again. I didn't say that Maltese people are native English speakers; quite the opposite.

To Bla Bla: I didn't say that all of them are bad spellers, but I have noticed myself that many native English speakers tend to be sloppy when it comes to their language. It seems like they don't consider the language important enough and it may also be because they don't learn foreign languages. Most Europeans I have talked to could speak at least 1 foreign language or even more, and their English was pretty good. On the other hand, many Americans, Canadians, Australians and even British had problems spelling their own language correctly.
