Michael, calm down and motivate yourself by reading this short extract from the beginning of the fourth chapter of Henry Miller's famous novel Sexus.🤩 "There is one thing I like about the Poles - their language. Polish, when it is spoken by intelligent people, puts me in ecstasy. The sound of the language evokes strange images in which there is always a greensward of fine spiked grass in which hornets and snakes play a great part. I remember days long back when Stanley would invite me to visit his relatives; he used to make me carry a roll of music because he wanted to show me off to these rich relatives. I remember this atmosphere well because in the presence of these smooth-tongued, overly polite, pretentious and thoroughly false Poles I always felt miserably uncomfortable. But when they spoke to one another, sometimes in French, sometimes in Polish, I sat back and watched them fascinatedly. They made strange Polish grimaces, altogether unlike our relatives, who were stupid barbarians at bottom. The Poles were like standing snakes fitted up with collars of hornets. I never knew what they were talking about but it always seemed to me as if they were politely assassinating someone. They were all fitted up with sabers and broadswords which they held in their teeth or brandished fiercely in a thundering charge. They never swerved from the path but rode roughshod over women and children, spiking them with long spikes beribboned with blood-red pennants. All this, of course, in the drawing room over a glass of strong tea, the men in butter-colored gloves, the women dangling their silly lorgnettes. The women were always ravishingly beautiful, the blond houri type garnered centuries ago during the Crusades. They hissed their long polychromatic words through tiny, sensual mouths whose lips were soft as geraniums. These furious sorties with adders and rose petals made an intoxicating sort of music, a steel-gibber which could also register anomalous sounds like sobs and falling jets of water." I wish you would become one of the smart ones. No irony in this wish.🙂

One of Poland's greatest poets, Bolesław Leśmian was a Polish Jew. His mastery of the Polish language was so advanced that Czesław Miłosz considered him ‘almost untranslatable’. Leśmian (b. Lesman) was a literary director of the Polish Theatre in Łódź during the First World War. His contributions to the Polish language (according to Gliński) surpassed even those of Cyprian Norwid's. 😁

I once worked with an American whose last name was more Polish than mine but he butchered its pronunciation mercilessly. And he knew just one Polish word, "zimno", because that was what his grandma had used to say a lot. Amazes me how a family can lose a language in mere two generations. There is a book by a Polish Canadian who moved from Poland to Canada as a teenager and had to switch from one language to another - "Lost in Tranaslation: A Life in a New Language".

[@pawelzielinski1398]

Why are you surprised that people lose language in two generations?? I think it's the norm. I would be surprised, if you can retain the language of your ancestors who immigrated more than 2 generations ago. Not many people had opportunity to talk to their great grandparents. Now it may be more common, because people live longer, but in my generation it wasn't common.

[@mateuszwesoowski9583]

There is a wealth of wisdom, beauty and unique hard earned experience in Polish books, songs and poetry. It always kills me that i am unable to share it with foreigners properly. They have no idea how much they are missing. Literally they are unaware - this is not just an expression. Poland did manage to come out on top from some horrible historical experiences. Few nations in history survived what we went through. And many who do survive often afterwards become twisted and come out on the other sides scarred and traumatized. Just spreading the misery they were administered instead of drawing wisdom from the experience. Polish people, arguably speaking, came out with a stronger sense of national identity from all the turmoil. This is quite unique. The wisdom of those experiences is locked in Polish culture. It's a shame translating it is so hard. Since it's not just the words, people need an entire framework to put the experience in perspective and understand the context. I sometimes translate Polish poetry into English, but finding a foreigner who would appreciate it is rare. Polish people value our culture - so it's easy to get on their good side even by learning the basics on the subject. Or saying a word or two in our language.

I think this is very hard for any English speaker to learn most of european languages as your language is so much different and detached even from germanic languages where it belongs... Apart from grammar even common sounds like "o" or "r" do not sounds like in italian, Dutch, Spanish, Polish, Czech, Swedish etc., there are genders, there are no cases. I would say there is no proper grammar in English - you replace it by putting in order words in a sentence and by using modal verbs... It was also very hard for my to learn English because of the same reasons, but our advantage over English speakers is that we have to study that language to survive in the globalized words. You can get by without knowing a signle word in Polish instead :D

Michael, I am Polish and I know that Polish is a nightmare. My late Swiss husband had tried learning Polish for years, understood everything but had no courage to speak. Some years ago we attended a course in Iwrit in Zürich. Only two semesters. It was mind blowing. The difference between classic alphabet and handwritten, the non-existance of vowels, different final letters "sofit", why, why for god's sake? It was an adventure, I loved it but I suffered, my brain was exploding, I was sweating trying to decipher the words. When we were in Warsaw we met Akiva, who came to us and gave us few lessons in Iwrit. He was great, he was funny, thanks to him I will never forget that "tav", the last letter has got this tiny foot which kind of kicks out all the others :-) It is a pity we gave up, but it was simply too much. And now I am trying to read, the poster with Hebrew letters is in my bedroom bought in Polin museum, and anytime I come across a Hebrew word I try hard to decipher it. So, do not complain about Polish, Iwrit is worse 🙂

[@lerubenfeld]

haha. I find Hebrew much easier, but I studied it in school as a child -- I don't remember much, but it feels much more familiar to me than Polish :)

[@annakohli3556]

@@lerubenfeld Few months ago I wrote on social media that an introduction to Hebrew (as well as Jewish tradition) should be introduced in Polish schools. As a voluntary subject of course. There was zero response, nobody commented on it. And still, I find that it would be a great idea. I am not Jewish, it was my father, also goy, who introduced me to the Jewish culture when I was a child. He (great guy, opera singer, participant of Warsaw Uprising in 1944) took me to the Jewish cemetery in Warsaw and explained the symbols on the gravestones. I have been pursuing the subject since then, until I wrote a paper about the influence of Yiddish/Hebrew on Polish language and vice versa for the final exam at the Zürich Univ. It fascinates me till today and I am surprised how ignorant people are about this coinfluence, especially when antisemites are using the Yiddish or Hebrew words and have no clue. 🙂

Polish is sooo easy, even kids are speaking polish 😂 Jokes aside - as with every new language, don't focus to much on grammar or cases, ect. - people will figure out what do you mean as long as you are using words - vocabulary is the key 😉 there is pronunciation play used in kindergartens to help kids to find polish language rythm: divide every long word into syllables and pronounce every syllable separately making hands clap during pronouncing of syllable. That's how kids are thought difficult words pronunciation. Syllables are extremely easy to pronounce. Example: do-wi-dze-nia. Grammar is just a next step, there is no need to worry about that to much 😉 As for your work and your Polish skills as an obstacle: well, you can make it an advantage as well, as you said: you've got your niche 😉 also as a native speaker - you are unbeatable in private english lessons - it's a huuge market, it is pretty well payed as well 😉

i can only recommend what i did when i was learning English as a kid/early teen. within 2-3 years i made a huuuge jump and suddenly became fluent. what did i do? ofc classes at school had some impact, but i do believe i taught myself English to a great degree. as a teen i started watching everything in English. no Polish subtitles, but whats important - English subtitles! so that i could immediately see every new word written and check its meaning. i do this to this day the minute i hear a new word. while watching sth not only you learn new vocabulary, but you hear whole expressions the way they are used, subconsiously you remember the context in which they are used. same with grammar structures. you start to know instinctively what goes with what even though you dont even know when you picked up on it. i seriously cant stress enough how much you can learn this way. i even changed all the games' language to English (how many everyday words you can learn while playing the Sims as a kid 😄). idk why, but back then i was on a mission. and i couldnt even have the slightest idea that in the future i'll be using English on everyday basis with my husband ☺️

Polish language is a very advanced national defense measure. Few words or even just one word are enough to tell if you were raised in Poland or not. That's true even if you learn Polish later. In most cases you can even tell where the person comes from. The only people who can realistically attempt to learn how to sound like a native Pole are Czech, Slovak and Ukrainian. They still have it hard, but they can do it in a less than 5 years. Everybody else will always sound like a foreigner even if they spent more than 20 years in Poland learning Polish. So even if you reach a good level of fluency and you will know how to communicate anything your accent will still be there. I know people who had two Polish parents speaking only Polish at home and their children speak good Polish, but with the British accent, because that is where they were raised.

What makes me happy and proud of myself that I can access to so much literature and art forms (like theater, film etc.) in English. It makes me an emotionally and culturally richer person.
