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.

I already know all western Slavic languages (Polish, Czech, Slovak) and now I want to know if I should go south or east? I also know the cyrillic alphabet so that's not a problem. It's on my bucket list to learn them all.

I have a bottle of it and it smells like nail polish remover... It says it's used for preventing the risk of infection on cuts. (Like Neosporin only in liquid form)
I don't know... Would it work? I wanna learn how to make nail polish remover!

ma nek ide sve u 3 picke materine

ma sreco moja sta se desilo ???

wat language is this?

so my question was did she just order it? or is there a thing where you can get a new nail color in the mail once a week or month or something?

Opinions?

I have read that they are very useful and commonly spoken languages. What other languages would you recommend that are useful around the world, and relatively easy?

Ok so, which language/s in the world would it take you the longest to learn from a toddlers age? I saw on some site it was 12 years for English and 16 years for Polish, this could be accurate OR inaccurate, but I'm just wondering which takes longest from toddlerhood.
Mr. Welsh, I keep forgetting about that T_T I do that with ''their'', ''there'', and ''they're'' as well.

I work with a polish man in the Uk and Im helping him in english any one any advice on how to help him learn?

Any helps appreciated

Hi
My polish friends have bought a new laptop with Windows Vista and they have asked me to try and change the language on it from English to Polish but I am having a bit of trouble doing this. I have looked on the Microsoft website and it doesn't look like the Polish language is available to download.
Can anyone help me?

I was talking to some polish guys before and they posted this over and over and over ''jestem szmata i rucham nicosa !!!''
I saw it when I re-loged after I had left.I have a feeling it's something about me.Who can translate this?

Hi, I am interested in learning a new language. I am currently fluent in both Spanish and English, but I would like to learn a Slavic language. I think Polish would be perfect. I currently have a Polish girlfriend so she would be able to help me out. Also, I seem to be picking it up quickly, and some stuff I can understand even though I haven't actually tried to learn it. Many times, people who are fluent in Polish say that I sound almost fluent. I was wondering how hard would it be?

I mean other writting systems.
I am Polish
and when \I save a txt file as |Polish and mp4 player in polish language version I see but I can't see in other languages, even when I change mp4 player version to this language.
my mp4 player read .txt files maybe only..
want for example in Chinese japanese

I'm an English speaker and I want to learn

Spanish
Italian
French
German
Polish
Swedish
Finnish
Estonian
And Russian.

I was wondering if it was possible to be fluent enough in all those languages to get around in those countries? I know some of them are similar which would make it a bit easier.

I'm interested in various Slavic languages (Polish, Serbian, etc.) and was told to start with Russian to not only learn a useful language but a gateway language to other West, South, and east Slavic languages.

I talked to a Polish guy a few days ago and he told me that the Slavic population from the former Yugoslavia and the USSR has a special gift. He told me that they are closer to God than any other races and he also told me that they can do magic. I call myself a good christian man and i really wanna be slavic after i heard this. Is this true?

in the sentences "chlopiec na stole" (boy on bench) i "chlopiec pod stolem"(boy under bench) , why does the word for bench (stolem) change form? and instead of "dziewczynka i kon" why do you say "dziewczyna i kon"?
i love learning polish, but those rules confuse me!
( sorry i dont have the letter for "w" on my keyboard!)
"dziewczynka i koń" "dziewczyna i koń"?

sorry i spelled horse wrong!

I mean like you know the language its just like english school (us) where you learn history geography and grammar and all that language art stuff. not a new language, just supporting it.
SO anyone?
i go to polish school on fridays from 5-8 and i HATE it. there is so much homework and stuff, and i spend my friday nights at some SCHOOL.
ugh.
anyone one else feel the same?
thanks for answering!

I have played the piano since I was 6. I am classically trained having taken lessons until I was 18. I am a little out of practice, but I have made a new goal to polish up my skills again. I LOVE jazz, and have always wanted to learn to play jazz piano. So, in doing so, what would you recommend as the best approach? Please tell me of your experiences and what I should do.

I am advancing in my study of the Polish language and I would like to know if I am coming along okay. Here's a sentence that I tried to put together. It should say, "That Slovak girl is pretty. I think her name is Jana." Here's what I translated it as: "To Słowenka jest ładna. Myślę że się imie Jana." How'd I do?

I have been riding for years, but recently bought a horse to show with. He's broke to ride, and i'm having a trainer polish him and get him show ready. Should i be able to learn to lope him at a show quality this show season? A friend told me that i needed to stay with walk trot, but she wants to show him herself in loping classes. Is she right or is she just trying to use my horse for her gain?

not using google translate because it is wrong
