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.

Hi there, I am half Polish but haven't spoken the language since I was 3, so my level is so innacurate. For many reasons I have a phrase I wish to get tattooed, once I find a good fluent speaker in both languages, annoyingly none of my friends or family fit the bill.

The phrase I'd like to get is "Family shows (or is shown) through love, not blood."

Thanks in advance, I will vote best answer tomorrow Annie x

Hello
I'm writing a story where the protagonist is Irish/Polish (lol, not too uncommon, actually.)

I just need a little hand getting the name down to a T, especially with the surname.

I was thinking;

Forename: Freja <---- (does this name occur in Poland?)
Surname: Something polish beginning with a W, but not too common. Half of her family are extremely wealthy...so I'll leave the experts to that.

Thanks in advance, much appreciated!

I have to say a few short words at a wedding between an Irish Groom and Polish Bride.......
"Welcome everybody here today on this special day"..........
Toast "The beautiful Bride"
Toast " The happy couple"
Say my few words in English and then finish with some more Polish like
"Enjoy the evening everybody"
I have tried some google and yahoo translator tools but it never comes out the exact way I want it!
I have no clue of how to speak Polish so I need this clearly spelt out and easy to pronounce , maybe written phonetically for me , I'm a disaster I know , thanks in advance people.

Thanks in advance.

At my grandfather's funeral, a man he had known from his youth delivered his eulogy. Unfortunately, he was very old and didn't speak very clearly. Even worse, he has now also passed so I can't ask him. My great-grandparents were immigrants from Poland and apparently my grandfather's childhood nickname sounded something like /noon-you/ or maybe /yoon-you/ It was phonetically something along those lines. Does anyone who speaks Polish know of any word and its meaning in English that could be used as a nickname that sounds something like that? I don't know if it is even a word with meaning, it could just be a pet name.

Thanks in advance!

I am able to speak Polish very well, but unfortunately I have never learned how to read or write in Polish. I am able to read some words, but it is very hard for me. Please do not recommend Rosetta Stone because I do not want to spend the 0 bucks it costs.

Thanks in advance to all who answered!

How do you say 'lost in translation' in any languages?
I want it for some art work. Think Polish,greek,yiddish, hebrew. anything you can!

thanks in advance! =)

Apologies in advance for the soppiness...

So, Polish is not my strong point! Well, I don't speak it at all!! Basically, my girlfriend is Polish and her nickname is sheep (don't really know why, just kinda evolved). So on occasion, via email, SMS etc. I call her owieczka (sheep)!
I've written a poem for her in English that I'd like to have professionally framed in time for Christmas and I desperately want to make sure I get the title right. I know that sometimes the translation does not always carry-over correctly so I would be happy with any of the following:

'The Beautiful Sheep'
'Dear Sheep'
'The Little Sheep'

Hoping someone can help.

Many thanks in advance.

i have some old pictures from poland with some polish written on the back. i've tried various online dictionarys and translators and none of them are too reliable, only giving me random words and whatnot. so i was wondering if anyone who spoke the language would be willing to help me translate them.
there are a few of them so we could probably do it by email, but the first thing i want to learn with what "wa pomiął hę" means. it's in quite a few of the photos, and i'm kind of guessing that it's a greeting of some sort.

thanks in advance.

This question is for those who speak Polish. I grew up pronouncing the last name "Lonczak" as Lawn-zack. But someone told me that in Polish, they pronounce the 'cz' with a 'ch' sound, such as the word *chair*. is this true? and if so, have we been pronouncing the name wrong all of these years? i'm very curious, thanks in advance.

Links with helpful tips on pronunciation will be very helpful

I would love to learn Polish 'properly', however there are no classes where I live Is learning Polish difficult? Well, actually there is a teacher who is Polish in my school so I would be able to ask him things. Would reading a dictionary help?

Thanks in advance!

Does anybody know a good school or online program to polish my writing skills. I am ok with speaking but really struggling when I have to write something.

I got a text message. Wrong #, but I wanna find out what it means. It says:

"Czy mozesz mnie gdzies spotkac jutro?"

I'm half Polish but don't speak or read Polish, except for a few words (yet). I'm positive that it's a slavic language. I really think it's Polish because I've asked 3 different friends who speak 3 different slavic languages, and besides, I really thought I knew it was when I first saw the message. Thanks in advance!!!
WAHHHH!!!!! U GUYS GOTTA FIGHT OVER BEST ANSWER!?!?!?!?!?!

Hello all, ive just recently wanted to start learning polish for my parents, but after checking Rosetta Stone's absurd prices, i got a little bummed out.

Would anyone please recommend me free online lessons OR executable torrent files that i wouldnt have to burn onto a disc? Thanks in advance.

This is what I want to say in Polish:

Would you prefer to speak in English or in Polish?

I already have the gist of it in Polish. Would it be:

Cy ty bizs wolala rozmawiac po polsku o po angielsku?

That's all I need to know. Thanks in advance.

I know that my name originated in Poland but I don't know its meaning. Does anybody know what Walshever or Walsilber might mean? Thanks in advance.
