This Is WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO IN POLAND!

Even though we often research WHAT TO DO before we go to a new place, it's important to know WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO IN POLAND.
I have seen many great 'Don't Do This In Poland' videos on KZbin and I wanted to share my take on it. I tried going a little deeper. If you agree with some of the things I said please let me know in the comments, and if I'm not accurate or I need some clarifying PLEASE DO SO!
I hope this video will help you see Poland and Polish people on yet another angle. Hugs!

From my observations in public we don't speak to each other loud, because we don't want to be in attention. We don't like to be in attention. Once I got visitors from Italy and they mentioned that Poland is very "quiet" country. I must agree with them. Well it changes after darkness when ppl get one or two drinks ;) but usually they don't like to be loud. But we do speak loud on the telephone. From my personal perspective I speak loud because I think person on the other side can't hear me well 😅

The Poles that manned the Destroyer ORP Piorun. Ever since I learned of this Polish crew with giant balls of solid brass? I have admired the Polish people. Here is an excerpt from Polish naval history. “ORP Piorun was a Polish destroyer that was part of the British Navy when they engaged the Bismarck. She was sent in with the British destroyers early in the morning of May 30, 1941 to harass the Bismarck and keep the ship occupied while the rest of the British fleet caught up. The entire time the ORP Piorun was firing at the Bismarck, it was using it's signal lights to send the message "I AM A POLE." - message "I AM A POLE."”.

Hi, I'm Maciek from Poland.. One more about eating. - If you propose a meal to Pole and he says "No, thank you", propose it one more time. Probably he doesn't want to impose himself, but don't repeat it too many times (if you're not grandma :D), because he will feel self-conscious. Referring to cold "No, I don't have time". If Kuba is your very close frient, this is enough, but if he's just colleague, you should briefly explain that you have a lot of work or something. You can propose help in other day, Kuba will appreciate that. Yes, complaining together is our funny feature, but remember to do not bid who's worse. We really like curt empathy. As for non-verbal language, remember to do not look into the eyes of strangers for a long time. In this case you will confuse somebody. If you're unlucky you can provoke someone. But don't be tense if you catch gaze :D About Polish words: Don't say "kurwa" wherever you are. It's not funny. If you know when to use it and you are with friends it's ok, and can be funny for us, but generally it's very vulgar word. Polish people like when someone say straight ("prosto z mostu" and "bez owijania w bawełnę") :D

That's the aptest thing I heard in ages, and I'm a Pole. You present stuff from a different perspective and you're just feeling it, focusing on the really good things that we as a nation have to offer. I liked those "kind interruptions", but after hearing it I would call a 'complementary comment'. The purpose of doing is this is to supplement someone's statement with an intention to just make it more meaningful. Subscribed.

[@sandrastrzelczyk8647]

I've heard that we sound abrupt and like we were arguing when we talk in Polish between ourselves. But loudness...I think it's a British attribute. Especially in bars...you can't hear music, only people talking.

[@zio]

Funfact about loudness - main reason for that is sound complexity of the language. If you don't speak loud, you can be easily misunderstood by others. Polish movies are great example of that, sound mix is usually really poor, because there is so much interference of ambient and enviroment sounds with sounds as "ś, ź, ć". If we don't speak loud, we sound like mumble 😄

Also it's better to speak polish than other language when you walk alone. Poland is not a safe place now.

I'm a Pole and I don't agree with this "loud speaking" point. In fact we are likely speaking quietly, especially via phone. I'd say, one who is speaking loudly has probably some problems with connection.

[@Kopernigus]

Niestety, ludzie - a w szczególności kobiety - mówią do siebie głośno kiedy chcą pokazać, że jakiś temat jest dla nich bardzo zajmujący. To nie problemy, to po prostu emocje. Ludzie mówią też głośno, żeby w grupie ktoś zwrócił większą uwagę i im przypadkiem nie przerwał przy okazji. Chcą być w stadzie ,,przebojowi,, i uniknąć oskarżeń o ,,szaromyszkowanie,, nudziarstwo i brak zaangażowania. Tylko wątpię, że to akurat cecha Polaków. Styl komunikacji i potrzeba przynależności nie ma narodowości.

[@Andek74]

I agree with Maverral, Poles are definitely not loud in public in general, unless drunk or having really good time. I spent last 14 years in Spain and I can tell you, Poles whisper in the street when compared to a typical Spanish person, especially here in the south (Andalusia).

[@KaLicA79]

You're right! I think the German people are more loudest then we are.

[@JachuJustyDriver]

We're even quieter, when we want to discuss something outlaw, which is common (unfortunately, because of our poorly written laws), or we even say "it's not a talk we can do through phone" (roughly translated) which means we have to meet in person and discuss it. We're very careful with saying things through phone because of lots of years under communist government, when lots of phones were tapped and you didn't know if yours weren't intentionally, or by accident
