Why did the Polish never eventually speak German?

There are several languages besides German, sorry for not being more specific in the question. Before 1914 when Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary all occupied the modern day area of Poland, were they not forced to assimilate, or did they fight to keep their culture. I imagine it must of been hard to do things while the rest of the country spoke Russian, German, or the several languages in Austria-Hungary, and not Polish... Basically, how did the Polish language survive?
Here you idiots. Maybe this will help you know Europe before the last 100 years.

Changing Windows Vista into polish?

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.

How's my Polish doing?

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?

In the show Chuck Season 3 Episode 14 - "Chuck Versus the Honeymooners" Yvonne Strahovski has a part where she speaks Polish to a punk rocker who is portrayed by her in real life boyfriend. I know she is speaking legitimate Polish, but is he? I don't speak the language so I can't tell.

Did they just give him a specific line to practice or does he actually speak legitimate Polish in real life?

What I'm saying though is the guy Tim Loden of Polish decent. Like just because he was speaking in real Polish doesn't mean he actually knows the language, they could have just given him the line to memorize, even though he doesn't understand.

What I'm trying to ask is: is he of Polish decent, and does he REALLY know the Polish language?
But is he ACTUALLY of Polish DECENT like she is?

Can anyone translate this paragraph into Polish?

After I graduate High School, I plan on attending the University of Illinois and major in journalism. I hope to pass the oral exam for the Polish language and receive a certificate, therefore as a back up plan, I will minor in language interpretation and translation. Currently I am also studying the Spanish language which will greatly expand job opportunities for me in the near future. Polish school has been a wonderful as well as an educational experience for me which I will never forget.

Please do not type this into Google Translate or any other online translator, the conjugation is all wrong. I know how to translate this paragraph, but I am having trouble with some of the vocabulary like how to say "major in" and "minor in" in Polish? I gave you the whole paragraph so you'd get what I'm talking about. lol

Thank you in advance.

Needed help in English from Polish language

I'm curious about the translation of the song Jak Anioł by Kasia Kowalska. Counting to ten is about the extent of my knowledge with the Polish language, so I'm hoping that someone who speaks Polish will come across this. I like the sound of the song so I'm interested in knowing what she is actually saying. Here are the lyrics:
Naiwnie dziś chcesz zatrzymać ten czas,
masz prawo by żyć najłatwiej jak się da.
Nie bój się słów tak pragnę słyszeć, że
potrafisz sam odnależć miejsca swe.

Cały czas szukaj szans
Wyrwij się z życia ram.
Uwierz mi szczęście jest w nas.

Każdy dzień przeżywaj tak.
jakby się miał skończyć świat.
Może czas wreszcie być sobą
i zacząć na nowo.
Mogę ja i możesz ty,
robić tak by lepszym być
ponad strach wzbić jak anioł
tak samo dosięgać łąk.

Dotykaj mnie tak,
chcę płonąć w te noc.
Nie żałuj mi chwil tak pragnę poczuć to...
Z tobą dziś być,
naprawdę tego chcę,
a miłość i tak gdzieś z czasem minie wiem.

Cały czas szukaj szans
Wyrwij się z życia ram.
Uwierz mi szczęście jest w nas

Każdy dzień przeżywaj tak.
jakby się miał skończyć świat.
Może czas wreszcie być sobą
i zacząć na nowo.
Mogę ja i możesz ty,
robić tak by lepszym być
ponad strach wzbić jak anioł
wysoko tak samo.
