I was wondering where i can find online polish to english podcasts/mp3s. What im looking for is something i can download that will help teach someone english, if they speak fluent polish. Something where they say like a sentence in polish, then in english. I would like it to be free, but i wouldn't mind paying up to like . First working answers gets 10 points.
Its for my dad, he wants to learn while working.

I am African muslim and French Canadian and my boyfriend is Polish Catholic.We are very happy together. I met his family not long ago and we hit it off very well. The only problem are his dad and uncle who hate French Canadians and Muslims equally. They sometimes make derogatory comments towards both. What can we do?I personally just want to ignore them and not talk to them again, but my boyfriend wants to confront them.

My dad told me that the only way I can get a German Shepherd puppy is if I call my grandparents in Poland and ask them politely if they could bring back a Purebred German Shepherd for me when they visit next month (they are wealthy people and probably wouldn't even care).

I know how to speak Polish, but I'm not sure how to phrase it. How should I tell them in the nicest way " If it wouldn't be a bother, I want a true gorgeous German Shepherd from Poland, if you guys could ,only if you don't mind, possibly get me one and bring it back for the next visit because it is all I've ever wanted and my parents made this agreement with me???????"

Or something along those lines.. Just something polite would be nice. PLEASE HELP??

I was wondering if anybody could help me with singing the Polish Song "Sto Lat".
I don't speak Polish so I'm not completely sure of how to pronounce the lyrics of the song. My dad knows how to sing it but I'm not very good at learning by repeating somebody, I have to actually see the pronunciation written down for me to be able to learn it.
I'm going to meet my Polish relatives in Canada soon for a wedding and I want to know how to sing the song.
Can anybody help??
These are the lyrics in Polish.

Sto lat, sto lat,
Niech żyje, żyje nam.
Sto lat, sto lat,
Niech żyje, żyje nam,
Jeszcze raz, jeszcze raz, niech żyje, żyje nam,
Niech żyje nam!
I want to know how to sing the song in POLISH. I already know what it means in English.

My parents are from Bulgaria, a country in Europe for those that don't know. They were born there and so was I. We came to the US 5 years ago, which would mean that we came when I was 10, almost 11. My brother wasn't even one yet. He used to think he lived in the US his whole life until a few years ago, which he literally did- he doesn't remember even a thing. Now, I speak english very well and my mom is OK, and my dad can speak but he has an accent and mixed up grammar. Naturally, i'm used to speaking bulgarian with my parents but we speak english in public places becasue we all think its kinda rude to yell in a diferent language in the middle of, lets say the school or a fancy concert. My brother couldn't really speak bulgarian until this year, but he understood. I always speak to him in english- it feels natural to me. But when he speaks with my parents, they might be spaeking bulgarian and he answers in english. My brother can't even speak to my grandma well on the phone- my dad has to sit with him and give him hints of what to say.

Now, from time to time we have this problem of whether my parents should just start speaking in english. I'm fine with speaking to my brother and he is to them. But now my parents will never be able to really talk in english- they've spoken bulgarian to each other all their lieves. And to tell you the truth i feel a little akward speaking to my dad in english as well.

We don't want to seem like the just-arrived immigrants becasue i know how frustrating it is to hear chinese people speak loudly on the bus when they have been in the US for over 20yrs and still haven't learned the language. I wish we could all just speak english to each other at home, it would make things so much less complicated... but it just feels akward sometimes. how can we make them less strange at home (which i would really like) or should we just spkeak naturally with english and bulgarian words together. Somethimes my father gets really upset and demands that everyone speak to him in english and when i ask him a question, he answers back in his broken english, "Pleese Speak in english!!!". sometimes i feel that my father wants to become "Americanized" too much, but then, we do look and act like americans- after all we're europeans too... we definitley speak english outside of the house, but should we start speaking it inside as well?? I don't know, have any of you guys ever had that problem???

I see polish and russian people speaking polish/russian in parks and streets, and they don't feel akward. Bulgarian is practically like the two languages combined...

any ideas?
GretcherS, yes, i agree, i'll try to alternate the languages so that we forget neither englidh or Bulgarian. Speaking of German, that is a great example! I used to spak German fluently when I was little and I even had friends who when they first met me asked me when i'm going back to Germany- they thought I was on vacation in Bulgaria.... hehe. anyway, I stoppen speaking and now all i know is a few phrases and I can somewhat vaguely understand simple sentences.

my dad is 100% polish and my mom is 0% so im 50% my dad went to america when he was 16 because his dad was fighting comunism and got them kicked out but now they are aloud in since poland is a democracy now.ive been to poland twice but i cant speak much polish if you are polish how? and how much? can you speak polish? how many times have you been to poland if you have?

My partners Dad speaks Polish and it's always a bit awkward when i go round to his house as i can't speak naturally to him as he doesn't always understand. Can anyone give me any hints on how to make things flow a bit more easily?

Topic-Pingpong
I first experience playing pingpong at my church with my friends.
It was very fun. So, I bought two pingpong sticks and some balls and praticed with my dad at gym room in my apartment. My dad taught me alot of things. One that I mostly like is hitting the ball hard so it fast and the opponent can't hit them. I enjoy using it to my brother. When he misses the ball, I just start I laughing at him everytime, because its just fun to look at him getting the ball.
I still enjoy to play pingpong

(besides possibly meaning people from Chechnya?) It could be spelled very differently from chechens, but sounds something like that. My sister had a dream in which our Dad, who died a couple years ago, yelled "remember the chechens." He spoke only Polish as a little boy.

So my dad is 100% polish, and his parents lived in Poland when they were children. Both of them spoke Polish as their first language, and learned English when they moved to America. My dad never learned it, and my grandparents died when I was 10 years old. I've recently been more and more interested in my Polish heritage and really want to learn how to speak it. Unfortunatly my school doesn't offer it as a class, and my parents think it's kinda weird how I'm so interested in it (so I'd rather just learn it on my own). Are there any websites where I can learn th basics? That has accurate translations? In about 10 minutes I've learn No (Nia), and Przepraszam (I'm sorry) <- I may have mispelt that. But then my mom got home so I had to sign out. Should I just wait and take it in college? I'm currently taking Spanish right now and it's coming pretty easy to me...
Thanks for the Rosetta Stone suggestions. Unfortunatly that costs money, so I guess I will just learn the basics online, and then buy it when I move out in 3 years.

I'm polish on my dads side..they are pretty much 100%. I call all my aunts on my dad's side Chuchie (thats just how its pronounced!} im pretty sure it's spelled Cioci but i'm not quite sure...dont ask why i'm asking it's just something I'd like to know. Ive tried online translaters and they give me a few different ones. so if you know plz help!

i love black nail polish, but my dad doesn't allow me to wear it because he thinks its ugly. so what nail polish color do you like you to use a lot? please write the name and brand.
i like any color as long as it is not neon or some weird color. or white.

I don't have native speakers at home. My parents don't know how to speak it, and my grandparents are no longer alive.

I have Rosetta Stone, and am subscribed to many different Blogs and Podcasts that help teach Polish, but I wouldn't mind some real one on one chatting with someone. My son & I are Polish and his dad grew up in Poland so is fluent, I am not but want our son to be. He isn't around very often, so if our son learns it is up to me! Any one want to help??

my dad says apple is chupka ( i dont know if i am spelling these right)but theonline translater says it jabko! what are other word like red hat apple and stuff i would like to find out it would me a lot to me and my dad!

I get a few answers from the online translations, but I'm looking for the most common version of how you would say/write "Daddy" in Polish. Here are the translations that I get online:

ojciec
tata
tatuś
ojczulek
papa
papcio

I am getting a tattoo to represent my Polish dad! Thanks!
UPDATE - Thank you for the answers so far! And I'm not looking for a lecture about tattoos, so please don't waste your breath on that. I love all of my tattoos, and no comment you make here is going to change that, so please don't bother. Thank you!

My dad is from Poland and I want to learn a language that would help me in learning Polish from him.
Would Russian be helpful because they are both Slavic languages?

My dad did something when he was setting it up and now it's all in polish! Lol we cant read polish and i was wondering if you guys new how to sswitch it to english?
Thanks!
Thank you!!

In my High School we have textbooks for both our German and Spanish classes and they seem to be pretty useful. Are there any Polish textbooks like this that can help teach you polish?

Yes, I am learning independently with a little help from my Polish Dad.
