FAQ
Q: What are you doing in Poland?
A: I'm a preschool English teacher and adult conversational English teacher.
Q: Why Poland?
A: No idea. For real though, I wanted to move to Europe after graduating university, and teaching English was my best option to get a visa. Poland is one of the countries in Europe with the highest demand for English teachers, and it just worked out!

That food was grilled, "oscypek" with cranberry. Basically it is a specially prepared smoked cheese, coming from the Polish mountains. I can confirm that it is delicious 😁

[@mateuszsalamon9406]

Actually you couldn't say that is "oscypek" because this originally is made from sheep milk which is available only in summer. In other seasons of the year this kind of cheese is made from cow milk which is more creamy but also great in taste :)

[@dorithegreat6155]

In case your friends haven't explained it already, you don't really use wołacz (7th case, the one for calling people) in everyday life. Normally we use mianownik (the basic one) for that. Using wołacz for addressing people is a bit old fashioned and if someone's doing that it's not a standard, it's their stylistic choice. You use it though for or formal titles like "panie doktorze" or "panie prezydencie" (or "pani doktor", but feminine is so much less confusing) and a bit ironically, for isnulting people too ("idioto", "ty debilu"). Usually not with names, and we generally tend to think that if someone starts using wołacz they're pretty angry at you (just like using your full name)

[@mercillesm]

Actually saying "Cześć Emmo" when greeting you sounds weird. I'd say "Cześć Emma". My name is Michał (english Michael) and people always say "Cześć Michał" , not "Cześć Michale" which sounds super serious and kinda awkward. But generally in polish you have to decline nouns. And it sucks, i know ;) Be that as it may, polish people understand that declining is a tough thing so don't worry. Just keep it up 😁

Here's something to help you develop some intuition about how the cases work: This is Emma - To jest Emma. This is Emma's - To jest Emmy. This is the closest thing the English language has to Polish cases. Hope it helps you understand how changing one letter in a sentence completely changes its meaning.

You have mentioned that Poles are regarded as impolite. The author of "the suttle art of not giving a fuck" explained this phenomenon. We are honest and very direct when expressing opinions. It is a result of the communism. We had no time for worrying about others' feelings when communicating at the basic level, because we really had to know if we can trust you or not. And if we can trust each other then we can afford the brutal honesty.

Your pronunciation is amazing! You speak with a slight accent that’s why people say it’s cute (because it does sound cute - we pronounce words harder and you soften them which is so pleasant to my ears; I guess that’s the reason), but overall it’s very easy to understand you and at times you sound like a native speaker. You must be good at languages, I don’t know if you’re aware of that. Anyways, happy new year! Hope it will be better than the previous one! Please post more often!

Polish is very difficult. Even Poles fail at it. Arek is a name not last name. When You ask: "Jak się nazywasz" you're asking for last name. "Jak ci/masz na imię" is a question for name.

[@TheMattRym]

5:25 One time I heard from my English teacher that Polish people gained bad reputation of "being impolite" because of... loan translating. She stated that using conditionals, word "please" and generally expressing some level of uncertainty for making requests is quite ubiquitous in the English language, while for Polish speakers this is a bit more formal and official, when you don't necessarily know a person that well. Moreover, some number of expats in the US or in the UK don't know English that well, so instead of using a bit more sophisticated phrases to make a request, they tend to use imperatives and simply skip the "please" because of the said reason. If that's the case, I wouldn't say that it's done on purpose, just a (minor?) lack of language skills. I've heard that opinion once, so I thought it might be a good occasion to actually verify that ;) Lovely video, enjoy your stay in Poland!

02:02 No i pięknie :) Nice & smooth ;) 02:26 Looks like "oscypek" - a smoked cheese made of sheep's milk, which is a traditional regional meal in the south of Poland. Here it's grilled and with addition of "żurawina" (cranberry). And it looks delicious :g... 03:37 "Big O's" :) (a nice way to remember) Interestingly, different regions of Poland have different traditional meals for the Christmas Eve's supper. And it may also depend on the family. In my family, we don't have bigos for Christmas supper, but we have it for New Year's Eve ;) 03:33 Bigos na winie - co się nawinie, to do bigosu :) (a word play that says: Bigos on wine - whatever you have at hand, comes into the bigos :D ) 02:45 Nice! I hope they showed you some of the Polish Christmas traditions and traditional meals ;) BTW in case you got tired of that American Christmas music (I am :q and I'm not even American), there's a nice collection of traditional Polish Christmas carols that you can get for free on Accantus Studio's website. There are 2 CDs, one blue, one red. I don't remember which one was instrumental, but they are really professionally performed, with lots of nice-sounding musical instruments and singing :) I once showed it to some of my friends from other countries and they really loved it. 05:20 Nice :) I remember one time a friend from France was visiting us on Christmas. He was alone at that time, so we invited him to eat the Christmass supper with us. He was very touched, and afterwards he cried too, because he felt like home with us, like if he were a part of our family. But there's a funny story involved as well, because he wanted to learn all about our Christmas traditions. First he learnt that one is not supposed to get up and walk away from the table until the supper ends, otherwise it's a bad luck, and someone might die :q Then he learned that if one of the candles on the table fades away before the supper ends, it's another bad omen that someone might die (his metaphorical candle will fade away). A while later we noticed that he went surprisingly silent out of a sudden, after hearing all that, so we asked him if everything is OK. He replied that he has the urge to cough, because he's unsure if it won't mean that someone will die as well :J So we replied: "No, it's just these two, all other traditions are good" ;) 05:30 Oh, it's the usual: the bad apples are always the loudest, and they ruin the reputation for all the others. 06:12 Just wait for the summer and sandals with socks! :D 08:02 Is your teacher a native? Because it doesn't sound like it. As for declensions: you don't need to learn all the forms at once. Actually it's better to learn them in series, each case separately, within their usual contexts of use. Try looking for patterns, because there are certain groups of similar words (conjugation classes) that follow the same patterns within a group. Then add other forms as you need them, by contrasting. 08:22 I would suggest replacing that teacher. She's overpronunciating these words, making them sound painfully correct. Nobody speaks like that, even professional voice actors, let alone ordinary people. Most of the people would just hold one "m" for twice as long time.

Przecież można mówić: Cześć Emma i Cześć Emmo. Tak jak: Cześć Marta i Cześć Marto (nawet "Marta" lepiej pasuje) albo Cześć Justyna/Justyno. Tym bardziej, że słowo Cześć jest nieformalne.

[@Pawe-mx9wc]

Ale chodzi o używanie wołacza a nie mianownika

[@mysteriousdoge1298]

No raczej chyba każdy tak mówi mówiąc cześć. Nikt nie mówi cześć Kamilu, Rafale, Piotrze tylko cześć Kamil, cześć Rafał, cześć Piotr.

[@Curt1990]

To prawda, wolacz jest zanikający.

[@Curt1990]

@@mysteriousdoge1298 ja tak mówię. 😄

[@Iseenitall]

No! U cute! I already miss christmas! Świetnie Ci idzie z polskim✌🏻

[@ricardojalil2740]

Omg I love your video! I live in Germany, about 1 1/2 hours by car away from the German/Polish border and I have a boyfriend. We are together since March last year and I’ve spent for the first time X-Mas in Warszawa and god it’s so cool. I had to giggle several times during your video because you remind me of myself 😄 I‘m using Polish as much as I can even if I still don’t really know cases (cases are annoying) but I think with the time it gets better. And I am also like „dafaq?! DLACZEGO?!“ keep on going! I love it :D

ENG: I love your films, watching someone learning Polish is very interesting and inspiring (and sometimes kinda funny :) ) Ps. sorry for grammar mistakes PL: Uwielbiam Twoje filmy, oglądanie kogoś, kto uczy się języka polskiego jest bardzo ciekawe i inspirujące ( i czasami zabawne :) ) Ps. Przepraszam za błędy gramatyczne

[@lolek4810]

[@maxiu3488]

Emma, please upload 30 min of Polish language practice you mentioned in the previous video. I wish you Happy New Year.

[@brandrunway]

So natural and honest vlog! It is a huge pleasure to watch Emmo!

[@Foxik58]

"Why are they doing this? I dont know.." that pretty much sums up polish

[@rickerto]

No i fajnie, ładnie.

[@glowackijacek.85]

You're so cute it's crazy. Your videos, editing - it's ... I'm speechless. This is how it's supposed to be done - it's very vivid and joyful, kind of a collage of memories. Even though I wasn't there I felt like I lived some of these moments. Thanks a lot for sharing that Emma. :) :) :) :)

[@juliakania6552]

Woww your polish is becoming sooo goood!!

[@alanpawlak95]

I really like watching your videos, they remind me a bit of the first time when I moved abroad. The way you narrate your vlogs really makes one feel like we are taking part in your journey :)

[@katarzynaskrzypek3731]

Bardzo podobają mi się Twoje filmy :D

[@deshchak]

It was so fun to watch! I love your videos!

[@Kwiatek1005]

Hej Emma, czy podczas świąt, albo kiedykoliwek słuchałaś Polskich kolęd? Jeśli tak, co o nich sądzisz? Hey Emma, did you listen to any Polish Christmas carols during the holidays or ever? If yes, what do you think about them?

[@SoulTalesAC]

You speak Polish very well, I havent even noticed you switching to it! Congrats 💖💖

[@worldclassyoutuber2085]

Also some sweet/cute versions will be: EMMUSIA or EMMUNIA :)

[@UncleWru]

You reminded me that used to teach a Canadian some Polish coz his wife never bothered to do it. Happy New Year to everyone

[@user-nz7rz8qq5n]
