Number 3 is very true! Once I did a quiz about Poland at a social event. One question asked: What's the population of Poland? A person from Latin America suggested: around 40 mln. A Polish guy made a look as if the answerer was crazy and said: No no no, it's 38 mln!!! 😅

[@anic131313]

Nie żeby coś, ale takie podejście rodziców i nauczycieli odnośnie błędów językowych sprawia, że Polacy umieją mówić po angielsku ALE się boją i mają blokadę. Funkcja języka to zrozumienie przekazu. Głównie na tym ma się człowiek skupić, aby zrozumiano informację, a nie żeby "the" było poprawne. Poprawność przyjdzie z czasem, a gadanie "what did you say? Are you sure you said it correctly?" tylko zrazi dzieciaka :(((

[@ciora1980]

Pozytywne wzmocnienie działa zdecydowanie lepiej niż rugająca krytyka, jednak błędy trzeba poprawiać. Tylko do pewnego stopnia jesteśmy w stanie poprawić własne błędy z tzw. "osłuchania". A poprawność nie przychodzi z czasem, wystarczy posłuchać, jak mówią np. przebywające za granicą ow wielu lat osoby , którym wydaje się, że dobrze już mówią. Oczywiście, JAKOŚ się dogadują. "Blokada" przed mówieniem to cecha uniwersalna, bardziej zależna od osobowości. A ci nauczyciele właśnie od tego są...

[@babyfonk4588]

nie przejmuj się tym każdy popełnia błędy :) najważniejsze żeby być odważnym i starać się poprawić swoj skill zobaczysz uwierz w siebie a wszystko ułoży się idealnie samoczynnie

[@kwiat2020]

Niestety to wada polskich nauczycieli...zawsze poprawiają i dzieci mają z tego powodu blokady w płynnym mówieniu ....studiowałam wiele języków, moi nauczyciele pochodzili z różnych krajów i przyznaję ze polscy nauczyciele byli najgorsi jeśli chodzi o uczenie języków obcych. Oczywiście to nie oznacza ze nie są dobrzy w innych przedmiotach ale tradycyjne podejście do języków obcych w Polsce leży na łopatkach.

[@kwiat2020]

Weronika Bazgroli: Wyluzuj się i pozwól dzieciom zacząć mówić w tym języku. Jak będą oglądali różne programy na bieżąco to sami nauczą się poprawiać bez stresu bycia ciagle poprawianym przez drugą osobę. W Polsce uczyłam się angielskiego, rosyjskiego, łaciny, niemieckiego i wszystkie lekcje pozostawały wiele do życzenia. Nie potrafiłam rozmawiać w żadnym języku mimo ze byłam bardzo dobra z gramatyki i słownictwa. Dopiero jak wyjechałam i zaczęli mnie uczyć nauczyciele z Niemiec, Austrii, Izraela, USA, Ameryki Środkowej zauważyłam ich inne podejście do mówienia w języku obcym. Nie strofowali, ciagle nie poprawiali, ....używali nowszych metod językowych opartych na współczesnych badaniach. Poczytaj sobie literaturę angielską nauczania języków obcych to zrozumiesz o co chodzi. A tak nawiasem mówiąc to ja nawiązywałam do moich nauczycieli. Mam prawo wypowiedzieć swoje zdanie oparte na własnych doświadczeniach (bardzo stresujących) z Polski zwłaszcza ze uczyłam się kilku języków i w Polsce i w innych krajach i mam dość duży przekrój języków jakie się uczyłam. Poza tym nawet nie nadmieniłam stosunku jacy moi polscy nauczyciele mieli do uczniów i to często gęsto nie był pozytywny stosunek. Teraz z perspektywy czasu rozumiem powiedzenie: nie ma złych uczniów tylko są źli nauczyciele. Coś w tym jest....

[@WMCR2001]

Your video cracks me up! Glad your wife approved first! :D. So I enjoyed watching because my grandmother was one of the firstborn children of Polish immigrants here in the US. She was very very Polish! She rarely ever used air conditioning as far as my father remembers from growing up (of course, they were in NY and I grew up in VA). Also, while she spoke FLUENTLY in Polish and often in Polish to both her mother (surprise... she and her mama were apparently VERY close!) and she also spoke in Polish to my Slovak/Rusyn grandfather, who basically understood most of her, she NEVER taught her three sons Polish. So my dad had NO CLUE about what his mother said to her mother about him, and then they would both laugh maniacally. I am currently learning Polish through Duolingo. It's too bad my grandmother is no longer alive to listen to my efforts... But I went all the way through college and majored in English literature, so I'm pretty sure I have mastered the English language reasonably well. :). Nobody ever complains on yf father's side of the family, either; they are all very reserved, and I think that came largely from my grandmother, too. Probably the only thing you shared that didn't remind me of her were those fish. Thank goodness.... YUCK! LOL :D. Tell your wife thank you for letting you share so that we Americans with Polish roots can look back on our grandparents! :D

[@AmericanAccentMastery]

Great vid but I especially loved the precision point- I never thought of this as Polish but I definitely see this trend in my family!!

[@marimetr4261]

That's why Polish mothers are the best because they're really hands on Moms and doing everything for their children. Mom is always there to listen and give good honest advice and she knows you're very good husband to her daughter but she see her daughter working so hard too to keep the family strong and together and she want you to acknowledge that too and give her credit because what will reflect on her what kind of daughter she raised. I am sure your mother-in-law wants the best for your family so don't worry about her she is not your enemy. Trust me it's better if she goes to her mother then to a stranger because her mother wants to see you both together and happy and your kids growing up with two wonderful parents.

[@dominha]

Another thing about your mother in law is that your wife can complain about her mother all she wants, but if you try to chip in, you are in HUGE trouble.

[@LoveMyPoland]

[@johnplinlasvegas2055]

Good job again Russell....! SO true with point 3. As an example, I can be asked by my friend, what was the temp today and I’ll say, 45C. Maybe 20 minutes later I get a text saying “why did you lie to me, I just heard it was 46C on TV weather....! Dead serious too, I could write a book about how many times “I lied” for not giving 100% exact data. One thing I’ve learned though is I’ve added “około” when asked for any information, it helps.....!

About "only English" issue - to bilingual children it is important and helpful (well, learning a language is not an easy thing) that they can distinguish two languages, consistently presented by mom and dad; it allows them to recognise and organise elements of the system. Although I think that it's not so important to correct every mistake they make - languages are not mostly about learning and perfection, it's about communication, they will learn anyway. ;) You are complaining just like a typical native Polish citizen, well done. ;)

[@zennekelechien1610]

Holy crap, all of these are so true! 1. Only English - this actually seems to be the case in most mixed marriages I know, the unwritten rule being that each parent speaks to the kids in their language. 2. Tesciowa - yep, gotta know your place in the pecking order. You're forever a conscript on your first day of boot camp and Tesciowa is your drill sergeant, except that you will never, ever rise in the ranks. Just accept it. 3. The "precision" thing - my god, it's been annoying me my whole life, and you're the first person I've ever heard put it into words! Here's me telling a story to a Pole: "So I take this train to Warsaw at like 5AM..." "The first one departs at 6." "OK. So the flight I need to catch cost me pennies..." "Impossible. They start at 50zl, tax not included." "Yeah. Cheap. So I got nothing in my luggage but booze..." "No way you didn't have at least a toothbrush and a change of clothes." Etc, etc. WTF is this taboo against colorful exaggeration when it's entirely appropriate? I'm not dosing your morphine, I'm trying to tell a funny story, FFS. :/ 4. No AC. Yup. Just like ice in drinks, drafts and wind - all created by the devil to make you get sick and die. 5. Stinky fish. You're lucky it's not boiling liver, or flaki. Stinking up the house on a regular basis protects against evil spirits, at least that's the only explanation I can think of. 6. Shitty customer service - very true, but alas it's not an exclusively Polish thing. Here in Belgium for example it's every bit as bad, and complaining needs to be ruthless and sustained to get you anywhere. Maybe it's a European thing? Keep up the great work, I love your videos!

As a Polish-American, I very much relate to #3. The number of times when my mom gets annoyed at my dad (Polish) and I when we exclaim, "But you need to be specific!". We're very much data and detail oriented - literally hard-wired into our DNA, and I clearly got the Polish DNA. Just the other day, my mom tells him, "Get the jelly from the container with the blue lid", and my dad could not find it. The lid was actually cyan. I also have slacks that are dark olive brown, but my mom insists they are green. Me - "No! Clearly it's a muddy brown!". Also, my Polish grandmother practically worshiped the sun. I don't think she enjoyed air-conditioning, either, and neither do I! I *will* open my windows in the summer! lol

Russell, nikt w Polsce nie bierze na poważnie zażaleń klientów (chyba, że ewidentnie słusznych), zwłaszcza w formie 'książki życzeń i zażaleń' bo Polacy mają w genach narzekanie i marudzenie. Powiem więcej... w zdrowiej i uczciwej (!) firmie kierownik zwykle albo 'domyślnie' trzyma stronę pracownika w każdej roszczeniowej sprawie bo czasy się zmieniły i nikt raczej nie próbuje nikogo oszukać. Klienci są czasem tak upierdliwi, że życie ewolucyjnie wymusiło taki system aby to oni udowodnili, że problem z którym przychodzą jest w ogóle sensowny. Wtedy dopiero ewentualna skarga jest brana pod osąd. Jakoś tak mniej więcej to wygląda ;) To, że nikt nie przejmuje się 'skargami' to wina samych klientów.

[@darjush]

Dodam jeszcze jako osoba, która klientów obsługuje, że część z nich ma oczywiście postawę roszczeniową i oni nic nie muszą umieć, bo nie są tym, czy tamtym. Zakres obowiązków pracownika też ma granice. Jeśli szef tego nie rozumie, to daje podpowiedź... Olać taką firmę!

[@frofrofrofro900]

Niemniej jednak obsluga w poliskich sklepach i urzędach jest okropna. Trochę się poprawia Ale co z tego. Ludzie latają po świecie i widzą różnicę. Po mieszkaniu chwilę w UK i Australii jest mi niedobrze jak idę często w Polsce do sklepu czy urzędu. Najgorsze że to nie tylko brak uprzejmości czy życzliwości Ale brak kultury często. I nie ma co zasłaniać się prl etc bo minęło 30 lat. Niby katolicki kraj A ludzie nie lubię innych ludzi. Inaczej w swojej rodzinie bo to moja rodzina to co in innego Ale ja mam być miły dla innego człowieka?! Jeden z głównych przyczyn jak nie głos na przyczyna chęci emigracji Ale na razie nie mogę :-/

[@michamarkowski2204]

Moja pierwsza poważna praca to 3 lata w sklepie komputerowym. Między pracownikami zawsze się śmialiśmy, że szef daje d..y lub robi l..a klientom - taki był prokliencki. Jeden z przykładów - klient odebrał złożony komputer, po czym następnego dnia z reklamacją, że obudowa połamana. Otwieram karton, a tam na froncie obudowy długi kanion po nożu, którym klient otwierał karton... Wołam szefa, a ten mówi wprost, że wymienimy klientowi obudowę za free. Nam, pracownikom, takie podejście bardzo się nie podobało, ale bezsprzecznym jest to, że podczas mojej bytności w tamtej firmie firma obchodziła dwudziestolecie - jako jedyna w tej branży w całym województwie istniała tak długo.

[@frofrofrofro900]

@@michamarkowski2204 no wlasnie - czyli dobrze robi - ma firmę zatrudnia ludzi

[@darjush]

@@michamarkowski2204 teraz wyobraź sobie, że szef zamiast wymienić próbuje udowadniać i wmawiać Ci, że stan obudowy to Twoja wina, bo klient tak powiedział. Jak szef chce płacić za błędy klientów, to jego sprawa. Widocznie mu się to opłacało, dlatego czasami warto wyczuć klienta i iść na rękę takiemu, który to doceni i wróci. Niestety niektórym nie da się dogodzić i próbując doradzić można jedynie narobić sobie kłopotów. Ja po wielu latach żygam tą pracą. Chociaż płaca jest w miarę dobra, to dopiero teraz doceniam pracę fizyczną, w ruchu i najlepiej na własny rachunek.

But what I found is that In Europe ppl simply don’t care about you and are not as friendly. It is simply an adjustment to get used to it.

[@rheinhartsilvento2576]

@@tracy4aminute376 Looking at it as caring is one way. To us in Europe this overweening "friendliness" and "caring " really come off as very, very fake. The exaggerated obsession with customer "service" has also created a toxic culture of "the customer is always right" , of servers and the served, where the servers are treated as slaves to the whims and abuse of the served. And often insulted and direspected as "minimum wage earners". If that's your idea of "greatness", then, well, it's too bad. I'd rather sometimes receive subpar service (which i agree is very annoying), than be served by someone whose livelihood depends on the good intentions of random assholes, instead of being paid a living wage (so restaurant and dîner servers) in the US. That's disgusting.

Get a bottle of cold Chablis and sit there and scoff ( make sure you eat the whole sprot). As for the Polish administration and queueing, simple just take a book to read and get in the line. My Polish is always good for a laugh by the time I get to the head of the line, in fact it was how I ended up getting citizenship. i was just going to re-new my Pobyt Czasowe and ended up applying for full citizenship all with some help from the rather bored military guys who were filtering out the no hopers. Super service and they helped with the 60 page application form. I was back and forth and we became firm friends and came to the ceremony when I obtained my citizenship. Do not knock the system it does work you just need patience and time.

I've been married to a polish girl for 11 yrs, debatable according to her, I relate 100% good sir! Only difference is while in Tarnobrzeg shopping for a file with my mother in law, they told her i couldn't sharpen tools with it therefore they don't have any files but this machine is better....she wasn't having it 🤣. Needless to say I walked around Stihl with my "body guard" until I got a file. My experience being a Tn hillbilly married into a Polish family has been the greatest thing I've ever done. These women are Strong, Intelligent, Proud, hardworking, determined and as stubborn as my grandma.

Fully agree about the customer service issue, it is a nightmare to say the least when deal with people in government offices. Even a lot of times staff in retail stores would seem less bothered.

[@Pinzpilot101]

As a mechanical kind of guy...Listen ...First in winter, you go shopping you get a little wet or a lot wet and you throw your coat on the back seat...Put the AC on it will suck that water out of the car....Most importantly , every couple of months switch on the AC for a few minutes...if you do not the seals on the pump dry up, the special gas escapes and you need a new/ recon pump...trust me for some models this is not cheap.

[@goblingoddessgaming608]

I believe the AC thing is true for all of (central) Europe. At least here in Germany nobody has AC in their homes either and every time my family visits the States we all complain how cold your grocery stores and restaurants are. It's like a freezer to us. Very uncomfortable. It's summer and we have to put on sweatshirts before we enter Walmart... Froze my ass off staying at a friend's home in Arizona, lol. I'm a skinny woman who'll wrap a blanket around her legs in summer because it's cozy. Room temperature 26 degrees. :D So the AC craze in the US is especially insane and unpleasant to me.

[@alicjapuckowska2960]

Of course. Wherever there is air conditioning, I feel too cold. 21 degrees is the minimum. Below it ends with a cold for me.

[@Basia1993Basia]

All this things are actually really accurate and drive me crazy as well! ;)

[@akasharaider5644]

I love my AC. Even if there is just 73 F my AC is going! Hate when it's too hot, specially when I'm sleeping, and always claim the complains. Power of internet and opinions gave me nice discounts or fast and smoothly help with all my problems with companies or you name it. If we will not complain and demand our rights as customer nothing will never change. And yes! They are really take it seriously.

[@danewing4658]

Poniekąd zazdroszczę dzieciakom możliwości mówienia w 2 językach. W przyszłości będą mieć znacznie łatwiej. Tylko żeby żona nie przesadziła i nie okazało się później, że będą mówić lepiej po angielsku, bo to może być różnie odebrane w szkole. No i takie wytykanie błędów też nie jest fajne. Jestem jednak dobrej myśli. Pozdrawiam Ciebie i cała waszą rodzinkę.

100% on the customer service (I even have a sorta FB page on Obsługa klienta w Polsce). This is the worst, this communistic approach to people that buy you food on the table and pay your bills. And I completely disagree with your wife. I have been sending complaints for circa 2 decades and I see, slow, but some improvement. I also do not shy from praises as well. I think they are important too. Let's work together, attitude: "i tak to nic nie da" is wrong!

[@AMonikaD]

Lol, you complained more about what drives you crazy about the country more than Kasia (not kasza) - not fair! Thanks for the video. I'm polish, married to a polish guy out here in Canada and we laugh together at your videos. We came here as kids, so it's so cool to listen to your perspective of our home land. And it happens so that the Poland WE know was full of "embelished" stories! I guess you dont speak to hunters or fishermen in Poland?? Ask what fish they caught! Lol. Or what buck they shot! Actually, here in Canada, WE are the ones caught by Canadians that we "enlarge " too many stories to make them funny, lol. Maybe because you're in Częstochowa... The most CRAZY religious region and any embellishment is a SIN. Hope you had a chuckle, Russ.

[@sersolo90]

Hello Russel, I'm from Costa Rica and I'm being offered a job on warsaw, but I have no idea of the cost of living, can you make a video about it, or perhaps point me to the right direction? Thanks and advanced, love your videos :)

[@jekubos]

Warsaw is the most expensive city to live in Poland. Russel won't help you probably as he lives in Częstochowa. I can't either with 100% accuracy, because I live in another place. But I looked into Polish internet and I found that you can rent an apartment with 1 or maybe 2 rooms for ~2500 PLN per month (with bills). It all depends on location of course. You can get meal in restaurant for ~25 PLN. If you will shop in supermarkets you can probably survive for 1000 PLN per month. But it heavily depends on personal traits. Some people can spend 500 PLN per month for common products, when others up to 2000 PLN and still feel that they have modest life ;) You can also use public transportation - 110 PLN per month and you can use every city bus, subway, tram and some trains without limitations. You can also use Uber or have own car if you want to, but it will be more expensive. I think, that for 4000-4500 PLN per month you can have a nice time in Warsaw, when you don't save or spend like a crazy ;) It is about $1000-$1150. But if company offers you apartment in contract, you will lose the most expensive part of live in Warsaw, so then it would be something like ~$400-$500 per month. But again, it depends on your lifestyle.

[@sersolo90]

@@jekubos thank you, so much, I'm being offered a around 10k pln so i imagine it's good

[@jekubos]

@@sersolo90 Is it 10k PLN gross income, or net income? Either is good, as average salary in Poland is ~5,1k gross income. But you must remember about high taxes in Poland. From 10k gross income, you will get ~7,1k ($1,9k) net income for the most part of the year. But in November and December you will get only ~6k, as your yearly earnings will be too high to pay lower tax threshold. It is with employment contract, so may not be correct if you are offered different form of employment. Anyway, your offered salary is good and you should be able to have a nice time in Warsaw if you decide to take that offer. Ask my here if you need more informations about Poland!

[@konradpol]

Russel, i know exactly what you are speaking about with the customer service at government buildings in Poland. I had to do paper work many times and its appalling how they treat people... like we are idiots or something, also each person has their own interpretation of the rules etc. One way i learned to deal with such people is to just throw it back at them exactly as they did to me which really throws them off... usually they see my point and start treating me like a human being. Its unfortunate and hopefully this changes with the younger crowd replacing these people. There's also a great Polish saying that some people use for these situations, they will actually say this to the person's face.... Do you work here as a punishment? (pracujesz tutaj za kare?) great way to let them know you are not happy in how they are treating you.

Z reklamacjami to jest prawda. Powinno się pisać reklamacje, a nie uprawiać pyskówki. Jako długoletni pracownik międzynarodowej korporacji wiem co piszę. Na ten temat można zrobić długi wykład, dlaczego? W każdym razie to pomaga obydwu stronom. Klient przestaje świrować bo aby coś napisać to trzeba się skupić, a pracownik jest kontrolowany - dlaczego dopuścił do reklamacji? To tak pokrótce. To się w Polsce pomału zmienia ale jeszcze długa droga przed nami. Inną sprawą jest to, że mamy niekompetentnych rządzących, a w Polsce jest takie powiedzenie, że ryba psuje się od głowy.
