Czuję się jakoś dziwnie - Polaków traktuje się jak odkrycie sezonu, dziwnych kosmitów, którzy właśnie wylądowali na planecie ziemia. Każdy się dziwi, że mamy smaczne, zdrowe jedzenie, czyste miasta, nowoczesną komunikację i budownictwo? Przecież od wojny przeleciało kilkadziesiąt lat. Był czas na odbudowę i organizację kraju. To nie stało się w pięć lat.Gonimy za Zachodem i modlimy się, żeby Niemcy i Rosja znów nas nie zdemolowali - a jest to bardzo prawdopodobne. Więc dziwcie się, jak Polacy są waleczni, niezłomni, pracowici w odbudowie kraju, jak mrówki. Nie mamy innego wyjścia.
. Masz zupełną rację. Przecież w takim USA niewolnictwo istniało do lat 50. ub. wieku, kiedy to jakaś gruba murzynka odważyła się nie ustąpić miejsca w autobusie rachitycznemu białemu.
Szczerze mówiąc, czasami sam się temu dziwię, jak wychodzę na spacer po moim pięknym mieście, lub wybieram się w podróż po naszym pięknym kraju. Pamiętam czasy kiedy nasza rzeczywistość nie wyglądała tak kolorowo, brudne, szare i zaniedbane miasta, smutni ludzie bez nadzieii na lepszą przyszłość. Przez ostatnie 30 lat dokonaliśmy ogromnego skoku cywilizacyjnego. Ostatnio uświadomiłem sobie jakie mam szczęście, że tutaj żyję i jak bardzo kocham swój kraj. Co się zaś tyczy demolowania, nigdy więcej, ja mam usposobienie pokojowe i brzydzę się wojną, ale niech tylko jakieś ruSSkie onuce sprubóją postawić swoje brudne buciory na naszej ziemii...
Oczywiście , że dla świata to odkrycie Szczególnie ze Polska wyglądała dużo gorzej, wręcz tragicznie 20-30 lat temu Turyści z zagranicy prawie nie przyjeżdzali Do tej pory jest pełno miejsc , które wyglądają strasznie Mieszkam w Gdańsku i jeszcze 5 lat temu Westerplatte wyglądało tak , że ze wstydu można było zapaść sie pod ziemię a wyspa Spichrzów sprawiała wrażenie , że wczoraj zakończyła się wojna Dobrze , że jest lepiej ale wciąż mamy masę do zrobienia I bardzo dziwię się Twemu zdziwieniu

In Poland, for the generations we cooked ourselves. People are more used to home cooked meals, and they were almost always fresh, with ingredients from local markets, even larger stores have a little to none processed foods and in PL it is very popular to buy premade home like meals. Fast Food like MCDonalds, KFC, Burger King have good tasting food, but it's expensive in comparison with home made, that is why our children are more used to good bread, with butter, decent cheese and ham, with veggies like tomatos, raddish, etc. and it tastes million time better than any fast food. at half the cost of MC sandwich you have great bread sandwich with 3-5 times more ingedients, you can taste the pickles, taste the cheese and it's not as bland as in the fast food restaurant, mostly because the taste is because of the sauce, remove that from Big mac and it's tasteless, and with homemade it's all tasty on their own.
7:02 It was beautiful ,, dziękuję'' 😊 you don't have to be able to speak Polish perfectly, just a few words and our sad face will light up with a smile 😅
Warszawa była zrównana z ziemią. Wszystkie zabytki zostały odbudowane na podstawie starych planów, obrazów i zdjęć czynem społecznym po wojnie. Trudno nazwać je zabytkami. Obecnie powstaje pałac Saski na Placu Piłsudskiego.
I agree 🇵🇱 Poland is an amazing country, so are you. I am delighted to listen to your comments about Poland, not mentioning your unique and sweet South African accent. I ❤️ it.
Poles accept that feelings are part of human and that is the reason we are not ashamed to express feelings. Also telling someone that everything is perfect when one is in deep shit and feeling accordingly to this situation is just a lie.
Modern Polands reputation is a victim of it's unprecedented growth. I'm 33 years old as of today, and was born less than a year after polands transformation of 89. I remember the extreme poverty of the 90s, and 2000s very well. Let me tell you it was extremely scetchy back then. In 2008 or 2009 i got shanked in my forearm for refusing to hand over my cheap ass phone. And let's just say I could see thestrals because of those times. But now I look around and I'm very pleased with my country. Me and my girlfriend done like 10km on foot in the middle of the night in Kraków after a concert that we couldn't hope to afford a decade ago and the biggest problem we had was if we could find a store for some after party beer. And it was freaking beautiful too. There was fresh,crunching snow, christmas decorations and lit up architecture. In my lifetime poland changed so much I can barely believe it, and I live here. No wonder other people don't know about it or don't believe it.
I don't know where you lived, but the extreme poverty in the period of transformation did not apply to all regions, but only to some (mainly in the west and north of Poland, where the highest unemployment rate appeared). This poverty lasted for several years (from approximately 1993 to 1997, and in a few places until 2004-2005). However, not throughout the whole country
To prawda.W latach 80 jeździłem jako młody człowiek po Polsce .Byłem w Warszawie,Krakowie,Bydgoszczy Łodzi,Toruniu i wtedy w tych szarych komunistycznych kolorytach każde miasto wyglądało żałośnie i biednie.Wystarczyło ponad 20 lat ,a wszystko zmieniło się o 180 stopni.,a Polska jest dla mnie jednym z najpiękniejszych państw świata.
About the clean public transport in Poland. I am from Lublin (east of Poland) and when I was young, around 1995-2000 everything was old, dirty, loads of graffiti, if there was new wooden bench it was destroyed the next day. When I was finishing my high school around 2008 I noticed a big change - people started to believe that all of that belongs to community and started to think about it and try to preserve it. It is very hard to explain ;D
The difficulty of Polish is not simply in pronunciation or reading. It's about very difficult GRAMMAR, the most difficult when it comes to Slavic languages. This is what makes Polish one of the most difficult languages in the world.
Great video guys. Just a thing about Polish language reading is actually easier in Polish than English, for example. If you learn the alphabet and how to pronounce each letter that should make it quite easy to read in Polish since each letter of the alphabet is pronounced the same way no matter the word. Unlike in English
true but there are some words like przepraszam that because of the prounanciation its sounds more like pszepraszam just one of many examples but most of the time is as u said
Nonsense! "W" is pronounced differently, like "V" or "F". "Z" is often pronounced like "S". "Ę" like "em" or "en". "Ą" like "on" or "om". "Co z tego" - "Co stego" woda kwiat - kfiat tępy - tempy tędy - tendy kąt - kont sąd - sond ząb - zomb trąba - tromba rąbać - rombać
@@Ntwadumela1Jeez!! Ok😂Chill! I know all that since Polish is my first language. Go back to what I said first time around and now go through the English alphabet and then go and try to read something in accordance with the pronunciation of the letters. Polish is more consistent. That was the point I was making
There is a lot of talk about Polish food, but from the perspective of a tourist who is forced to use restaurants, but Poles only use them when they have to. Most Poles cook their own dinners and they are much better than those in restaurants. Polish women can cook wonderful things and make wonderful cakes. Polish cuisine is diverse and combines culinary traditions from the West, the East and the Orient. Interesting fact, the first coffee bistro was founded by a Pole, when Turkey besieged Vienna in the Middle Ages, the Polish king defeated the Turkish army and they started to take the loot, but no one wanted to take bags with strange beans that they did not know, but one Polish knight knew what it was and they took it as trophy . He founded the first café in Europe.😀
And the Polish alphabet is NOT different - it's also Latin, just like the alphabet in English, Dutch, or any Western language. We only have a few extra letters: ą, ę, ó, ł, ż, ź, to reflect some of the unique sounds Polish has.
myśle że chodziło im o dzwięki bo w porównaniu do angielskiego wszytsko brzmi inaczej. myśle że jedyne co jest fajne w nauce to to że wystarczy że znasz każdy dzwięk litery i umisz wszytsko przeczytać
The American's impressions are right in their similarity to the Italian language because we had an Italian queen - Bona Sforca, who introduced tomatoes and the so-called Italian but also Italian words. Other countries also adopted words from France, Turkey, from the Tatars, but also words from Saskrit, after all, the origin of languages from Indo-European peoples has always been common.
For me McDonald's has terrible food. Whereas I know meat is obtained from waste. I wonder how bad the food must be elsewhere if Polish McDonald's is rated good. No one will ever convince me to eat at McDonald's. The Polish language is characterized by a larger vocabulary, so things, realities, events can be described more romantically or dramatically, etc. Listen to Polish music. Many foreigners claim that it is better at listening than the famous French or Spanish. This is such an interesting fact. Polish is not a simple language. In my opinion, English is a simplified language. That's probably why, for example, English is the easiest language to learn. Often a given word is a compound of two words. One word describes what you see and the other describes what the item does. In the Polish language, the origin of words often goes back hundreds of years, hence they are unique words and one object can be described in many ways. Often, the method of description depends on the situation in which a given expression is used. For example, we can describe the number 2 in over 10 ways.
Polish is hard because it has coniugation and declination and very complex grammar. English is easy because of grammar but it gets harder when it comes to idioms which you must learn by heart because they are not similar to anything.
Polish language is not as hard as we (Poles) like to say. It's just... Slavic! Different than Germanic or Romanic, very inflected, but the pornounciation or grammar is pretty simular to other languages from this group. And on top of that, some of them have cyrylic alphabet. So I don't think so it's much harder than Russian, Bulgarian or Serbian, for example. Not to mention Finnish, Greek, Hungarian or some Asian languages.
Actually Polish has a lot more exceptions to rules than Russian or any other Slavic language. The rules are similar, so you learn them, and then you find out that 30% of words are exceptions to that rule...
A nice opinion of Poland, overall, and even nicer given the distance you travelled to come here. When I hear South Africa, I immediately think of Die Antwoort, Chappie, Neil Blokamp(sorry if I misspelt), the Rooikat FSV, the Olifant MBT, UFO encounters, sweltering heat, apartheid in the past, the insecurity - especially for white people, and the Table Mountain. For Polish sites, I recommend the Wieliczka salt mine, the Polish Table Mountains, or Góry Stołowe[guri stouove], the Tatra Mountains, the Błędowska Desert, the seaside forest of Mierzeja Wiślana, or the Vistula Spit, and of course some major cities: Warsaw, Cracow, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Poznań.
1. If you learn Polish you should be able to communicate not only in Poland, but also in Czech rep. And Slovakia, plus You should be able to understand some Croatian and Ukrainian as well. Not bad, huh? 2. Architecture is politics. Ugly architecture was a part of the leftists and Communists strategy to destroy traditional national beauty. Believe it or not going back to old classical beauty makes every citizen proud. For that reason Germans or Russians wanted to make the Polish capital as ugly as possible - we do remember that, so we are trying to do the opposite and so keeping it clean is considered "patriotic" Having said that, Prague wasn't destroyed and it is the ultimate proof of how Central Europe looked before 2 world wars...Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary or the Czech rep were destroyed so much...
1 czeski słowacki ukraiński i białoruski tak, ale chorwacki? 2 O tak zaszczurzone żydowskie nory w Warszawie czy łodzi były przepiękne, przedwojenna Polska to był smród, brud, głód i ubóstwo. Porównania z Pragą są nie na miejscu.
@@audiobookfr5845 Sprowadzasz Polske tylko do pewnych miast i regionow. Dlaczego tych najgorszych, co z Pomorzem czy Wielkopolska, wspanialym Toruniem czy ciekawa Bydgoszcza i tak mozna duzo przykladow podac. Jasne masz racje co do Warszawy, ale Polska bylo duzo wieksza i wlasnie byly roznice wieksze niz dzis.
In South Africa food is also of a good quality, but some things simply taste different. For example bananas, apples, milk , oranges... The same foods have different taste than European variety, I like both . Coming from Poland to South Africa I had difficulty to adjust to the basic South African safety rules... It was a real cultural shock for sure. In South Africa nature is of exceptional beauty, it is enough to drive outside of town to be inside of the most beautiful landscape. Cities can be very impressive, or scary depends what part you are inn. Great shopping centers. great holiday spots. The largest sun I`ve ever seen...Deceit is national sport in South Africa , it is not seen as anything wrong because everyone does it. Public transport isn`t safe to use in South Africa. South African soil is staining white socks, and stains are impossible to wash it out. My rose garden bloomed all year long. There you go I`ve compared RSA to Poland from Polish person perspective. Baie Dankie :)
Actually, the alphabet is the same. You learn it in English- tongued elementary schools when they teach you to read phonics. There are just a few extra letters and some aounds have a bit of a different pronunciation but majority of it is the same. The biggest difference is the stress put on words. In Polish it usually falls on the second to last syllable intead of the usual first syllable in English. That makes things sound very different.
you said that the alphabet is different, it is exactly the same as English. Only Q is missing and you will learn the pronunciation of each letter. learning a language is much easier. because the way it is written is the way it is read, not like in English.❤
Have You ever been in U.S.A. lately ?, food sucks , infrastructure sucks , beer sucks ,crime on the rise ,housing sucks , homelessness everywhere , still want to visit America ?
The difference in the taste and the quality of food boils down to the fact that food in Europe, in general, and in Poland, in particular, is treated as a sanctity that you have too much respect to mess with.
Normal its war reefuges 2kk go to Poland shock its how many go to Poland from USA and estern Europe ... for think safe ( after war fallow borders) and happy to be here
Definately the mcdonalds in poland is so much tastier and has flavour, unlike the ones in UK which taste like wet cardboard and don't even get me started on the fizzy drinks in UK mcdonalds which they wash down with water and tastes like crap!! Also every place that sells meat or poultry in UK is contaminated with some sort of bacteria that gives you a stomach infection.
Poland is one of the safest countries in Europe, and I mean it quite seriously. I don't know how long this security will last here due to the large number of emigrants who come to the EU all the time, but at the moment it is very good here compared to Western countries
Polish isnt that thin on vowels(czech language is), its just looks like it for english speakers beacuse we have a lot of joint sounds and vowels: For example in Polish "y" is a vowel and "ci", "ni", "sz", "cz", "dz", "dź" etc are singular sounds
We just like an open-minded people. If you feel better than us, you're probably going to loose your teeth, if you like to know us and exchange expierience, you are welcome and totally safe. Look, Poles likes people, but are allergic to dominants. We are not racist, but make us rough when someone feels and act as our landlord. We are really connected to our pride and freedom. That's what our ancestors fought for, and that's what we are respect the most.
Next time you are in Poland, try Burger King. Mc Donald's is nothing in comparison. And go to Wrocław, then go towards Sudety. If you like hiking, go to ŚNIEŻKA Mountain, then to Table Mountains National Park. You will be amazed.It's all a short distance, up to 100 km. Greetings from PL 👍
About first few min of that video … quality of food,but it’s not about food just ,we try do that generally in the live. Mostly times people don’t have enough money, so when we decide go restaurant and spend our hard earned money,better if that restaurant is good if not , that restaurant stay open maybe few months because we never go back there. Everything is about , if I’m make tattoos for example (I’m tattooist ha ha ) I’m must be good make good quality work because my customers give me they hard work money,and I want them coming back , and same way if I’m going to your restaurant,I’m expecting same . You’re fantastic guys!,,
We got almost the same alphabet. We don't have two letters and got like additional five more:P And we get some rules how to read groups of letter, but... it's it. In english (in my opinion) you need to learn how to pronunciate each word:P In Poland we got difficult grammar, we got some letters or group of letters, that is the same, or similar sounds - orthography. But it's not different alphabet:P Cyrillic is different (but we don't use it in Poland)
Maybe Polish is hard to speak but may be quite easy to learn to read it. All wards are read as they are written. It only looks like it's hard but it's not. We've got sounds that are written with two letters: sz sounds like sh (shoes), cz sounds like ch (choice), dż sounds like j (juice).... We don't have letter v. V sound is written as W letter (that's why Wódka has w and not v). We have w sound, but it's written as Ł. We have two strange letters and sounds: ą and ę, but even them have some equivalent in other language - try to say French "bon ton" or "bon apetite" it will sound like "bą tą", "bą apetit". It's all seams to be complicated but in fact it's not. And again - we pronounce as we write. This is a huge advantage in learning Polish. The only question is who would and what for :). Best!
From we now know, it seems like quite a simple language and not as difficult as what we first thought 😅 I’m not sure out of Poland how much you can actually speak the language. We’ve heard there are however a lot of similarities with other languages from neighbouring countries
@@BB.Beyond.Borders polish has a difficult grammar. It is easy to learn polish to communicate but usually you say it with mistakes. Even polish people have problems with some grammar.
it depends on the person. I wa friendly or not . I talk to cashiers in Poland and in the UK, where I live. How is your day going? Are you tired? It's a pity you have to work on Sunday. . It depends on the character of the person, not his nationality.
Polecam Filadelfie , Ditroit i Kalifornie pozwiedzać. Jak lokalni bandyci Cię nie zabiją to policja z usa na pewno Ci przyłoży lufe do głowy mówiąc że to safety , ich oczywiscie jesteś podejrzany i oni prowadzą śledztwo wiec musisz okazac ID . Taki bandyta z postoletem w rece chce Twoje dane bo ma do tego prawo . pozdrawiam serdecznie Krzysztof z Londynu
Don't say about Poland eastern world. We never felt like that, we never wanted to be a part of that world. Poland was forced after WWII . Mentally this is different world for us. Eastern Europe for us means communism and no progress.
Kielce wasn't safe in 90s to walk girlfriend few blocks at night you needed gun or pepper-spray or knife I heard some guys have grenades no kidding.Thanks God everything changed.
Guys if McDonalds quality amazes you I have good news. Buy better ice cream cheaper in any supermarket. Everything here is better than Mac. Mac is the last resort when all others are closed. Like a gas station. And with gas station prices too
about the Polish Languahe, its realy hard to learn. english is easiest to learn thats why EU parlament use English and all world. think what would happend if all will use Polish and polish alphabet with 32 letters
If you are in Poland, avoid eating Polish food at all costs. Avoid traditional foods. It's too late for me, I'm addicted. But you can save yourselves. Regards
12:50 Poland was a little dangerouse, but that was like 12 years ago, when was a lot of a crime groups. But they were just fight with each others and police. Normal people were for them a potential customers and "wpierdol/beated" you could get only if you were no nice :P Now is just normal, quiet and peaceful, but back then hip-hop was very popular and also graffiti and block buildings were in every biggest city
12 years ago nah, nothing in comparison to what was happening in the 90’s. Since entering the EU - Poland started to be a safer place. And it’s totally safe in the last 10 years.
You can learn Polish pretty easily in terms of easy rules how to write. All the consonants and vowels are always pronounced the same way comparing to English, once an English native speaking person learns the rules within completion of A1 level and they hear a new word that they understand from so-called context they are automatically capable to spell and write it down. I believe polish grammar is hard for at least a third of native Poles.. 7 cases of ways of pronouncing names or nouns, adjectives... In English there is only 2 cases: This is my car. This is a car of mine or She is a sister of Adam. She is Adam's sister. in polish my name's stem always changes accordingly to cases: (singular) Nomative-Tomasz Genitive-Tomasza Dattive-Tomaszowi Accusative-Tomasza Instrumental-Tomaszem Locative-Tomaszu Vocative-Tomaszu (plural) Tomaszowie Tomaszów Tomaszom Tomaszów Tomaszami Tomaszach Tomaszowie adjectives change the stem accordingly to gender- eng. nice (polish word FAJNY -applies to male, FAJNA-female, FAJNE-neutrum) Polish language however-good news here!- has only 5 tenses (two past (I went-Ja poszedlem/poszlam-male version/female version, I was going-Ja szedlem/szlam-male/female version), 1-present that can be used as future too(I go to school 5 times a week-Ja chodze do szkoly 5 razy w tygodniu, I am going to school tomorrow-Ja ide jutro do szkoly), future simple (I will go-Ja pojde), future continuous (I will be going-Ja bede chodzil)- There are no eat the equivalents to: I had gone (went), I have gone to school, I had been going, I will have gone, I am going (as it always has a version of I go now I go tomorrow (you must add either a word now or tomorrow ..to distinguish differences and to be more accurate). Enjoy learning :)
To jest kolejna patologia YT. Ludzie nakrecaja swoje reakcje na filmy innych. No ja pier... Nakrec cos sam. Poszukaj tematów i jazda. I moze twoja pani wyjasni tobie ze w pomieszczeniach w czapce sie nie siedzi.

Nonsense! "W" is pronounced differently, like "V" or "F". "Z" is often pronounced like "S". "Ę" like "em" or "en". "Ą" like "on" or "om".
"Co z tego" - "Co stego"
woda
kwiat - kfiat
tępy - tempy
tędy - tendy
kąt - kont
sąd - sond
ząb - zomb
trąba - tromba
rąbać - rombać
@@Ntwadumela1Jeez!! Ok😂Chill! I know all that since Polish is my first language. Go back to what I said first time around and now go through the English alphabet and then go and try to read something in accordance with the pronunciation of the letters. Polish is more consistent. That was the point I was making
Maybe we need to start learning some polish 😅
@@magdaoniszczuk1555 "since each letter of the alphabet is pronounced the same way no matter the word"
It's not true!
There is a lot of talk about Polish food, but from the perspective of a tourist who is forced to use restaurants, but Poles only use them when they have to. Most Poles cook their own dinners and they are much better than those in restaurants. Polish women can cook wonderful things and make wonderful cakes. Polish cuisine is diverse and combines culinary traditions from the West, the East and the Orient. Interesting fact, the first coffee bistro was founded by a Pole, when Turkey besieged Vienna in the Middle Ages, the Polish king defeated the Turkish army and they started to take the loot, but no one wanted to take bags with strange beans that they did not know, but one Polish knight knew what it was and they took it as trophy . He founded the first café in Europe.😀
Otóż to! Widziałem sporo filmików (autorstwa obcokrajowców) opowiadających o talentach kulinarnych Polaków, zwłaszcza mężczyzn.
That’s awesome thanks for sharing this ❤️
Ale to nie było w średniowieczu, ignorancie!
thanks a lot guys
Big👍
I'm 90% sure the furniture behind you was produced in Poland :D It's IKEA but they make a lot of their furniture in Poland.
And the Polish alphabet is NOT different - it's also Latin, just like the alphabet in English, Dutch, or any Western language. We only have a few extra letters: ą, ę, ó, ł, ż, ź, to reflect some of the unique sounds Polish has.
myśle że chodziło im o dzwięki bo w porównaniu do angielskiego wszytsko brzmi inaczej. myśle że jedyne co jest fajne w nauce to to że wystarczy że znasz każdy dzwięk litery i umisz wszytsko przeczytać
The letters are the same but how you say it is completely different
@@katkatarina8469 I wouldn't say they are completely different, some of them are a little different.
@@januszparol1986 They are different, period 😊
@@katkatarina8469 Not all of them, e.g. the phonemes s, b, or d are the same.
Dziękuję for this video ❤
Pozdrowienia ze Szczecina. 😁
The American's impressions are right in their similarity to the Italian language because we had an Italian queen - Bona Sforca, who introduced tomatoes and the so-called Italian but also Italian words. Other countries also adopted words from France, Turkey, from the Tatars, but also words from Saskrit, after all, the origin of languages from Indo-European peoples has always been common.
For me McDonald's has terrible food. Whereas I know meat is obtained from waste. I wonder how bad the food must be elsewhere if Polish McDonald's is rated good. No one will ever convince me to eat at McDonald's.
The Polish language is characterized by a larger vocabulary, so things, realities, events can be described more romantically or dramatically, etc. Listen to Polish music. Many foreigners claim that it is better at listening than the famous French or Spanish. This is such an interesting fact.
Polish is not a simple language. In my opinion, English is a simplified language. That's probably why, for example, English is the easiest language to learn. Often a given word is a compound of two words. One word describes what you see and the other describes what the item does. In the Polish language, the origin of words often goes back hundreds of years, hence they are unique words and one object can be described in many ways. Often, the method of description depends on the situation in which a given expression is used. For example, we can describe the number 2 in over 10 ways.
Thank you for this insight
you're absolutely right about Macdo - their food is garbage !
Polish is hard because it has coniugation and declination and very complex grammar. English is easy because of grammar but it gets harder when it comes to idioms which you must learn by heart because they are not similar to anything.
Awesome ❤
All the best, regards from SA, dziekuje.
Dziękuję - good pronunciation.
Polish language is not as hard as we (Poles) like to say. It's just... Slavic! Different than Germanic or Romanic, very inflected, but the pornounciation or grammar is pretty simular to other languages from this group. And on top of that, some of them have cyrylic alphabet. So I don't think so it's much harder than Russian, Bulgarian or Serbian, for example. Not to mention Finnish, Greek, Hungarian or some Asian languages.
Actually Polish has a lot more exceptions to rules than Russian or any other Slavic language. The rules are similar, so you learn them, and then you find out that 30% of words are exceptions to that rule...
A nice opinion of Poland, overall, and even nicer given the distance you travelled to come here. When I hear South Africa, I immediately think of Die Antwoort, Chappie, Neil Blokamp(sorry if I misspelt), the Rooikat FSV, the Olifant MBT, UFO encounters, sweltering heat, apartheid in the past, the insecurity - especially for white people, and the Table Mountain. For Polish sites, I recommend the Wieliczka salt mine, the Polish Table Mountains, or Góry Stołowe[guri stouove], the Tatra Mountains, the Błędowska Desert, the seaside forest of Mierzeja Wiślana, or the Vistula Spit, and of course some major cities: Warsaw, Cracow, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Poznań.
When I was born in Poland, it really shocked me that 20 years later I had to find a job!
Oh Yes! Good quality of food, because we have Magda Gessler 😎😏🇵🇱
1. If you learn Polish you should be able to communicate not only in Poland, but also in Czech rep. And Slovakia, plus You should be able to understand some Croatian and Ukrainian as well. Not bad, huh?
2. Architecture is politics. Ugly architecture was a part of the leftists and Communists strategy to destroy traditional national beauty. Believe it or not going back to old classical beauty makes every citizen proud. For that reason Germans or Russians wanted to make the Polish capital as ugly as possible - we do remember that, so we are trying to do the opposite and so keeping it clean is considered "patriotic"
Having said that, Prague wasn't destroyed and it is the ultimate proof of how Central Europe looked before 2 world wars...Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary or the Czech rep were destroyed so much...
I don't understand the Ukrainians and Czechs.
Seems like if you learn Polish you will be understand a lot of other languages. Interesting 👀

Sprowadzasz Polske tylko do pewnych miast i regionow. Dlaczego tych najgorszych, co z Pomorzem czy Wielkopolska, wspanialym Toruniem czy ciekawa Bydgoszcza i tak mozna duzo przykladow podac.
Jasne masz racje co do Warszawy, ale Polska bylo duzo wieksza i wlasnie byly roznice wieksze niz dzis.
In South Africa food is also of a good quality, but some things simply taste different. For example bananas, apples, milk , oranges... The same foods have different taste than European variety, I like both . Coming from Poland to South Africa I had difficulty to adjust to the basic South African safety rules... It was a real cultural shock for sure. In South Africa nature is of exceptional beauty, it is enough to drive outside of town to be inside of the most beautiful landscape. Cities can be very impressive, or scary depends what part you are inn. Great shopping centers. great holiday spots. The largest sun I`ve ever seen...Deceit is national sport in South Africa , it is not seen as anything wrong because everyone does it. Public transport isn`t safe to use in South Africa. South African soil is staining white socks, and stains are impossible to wash it out. My rose garden bloomed all year long. There you go I`ve compared RSA to Poland from Polish person perspective. Baie Dankie :)
Actually, the alphabet is the same. You learn it in English- tongued elementary schools when they teach you to read phonics. There are just a few extra letters and some aounds have a bit of a different pronunciation but majority of it is the same. The biggest difference is the stress put on words. In Polish it usually falls on the second to last syllable intead of the usual first syllable in English. That makes things sound very different.
You win me that coment about Central Europe... Greetings from Poland :)
Szczecin! Finally in your 2nd video I understood where you went. It is pronounced like "Shchesin".
you said that the alphabet is different, it is exactly the same as English. Only Q is missing and you will learn the pronunciation of each letter. learning a language is much easier. because the way it is written is the way it is read, not like in English.❤
You don't understand. The letters are the same obviously but the way you pronounce them is completely different.
Have You ever been in U.S.A. lately ?, food sucks , infrastructure sucks , beer sucks ,crime on the rise ,housing sucks , homelessness everywhere , still want to visit America ?
NY metro is huge and 150 years old and Warsaw is tiny and 15 years old, so....
You need to see Gdańsk 😊
I see Poland, I click... hi
Great country ❤️🇵🇱
The difference in the taste and the quality of food boils down to the fact that food in Europe, in general, and in Poland, in particular, is treated as a sanctity that you have too much respect to mess with.
That’s why I guesse people live longer
Eating good quality food
@@BB.Beyond.Borders I don’t think it’s the only factor, but I’m sure it’s one of the main ones.
Normal its war reefuges 2kk go to Poland shock its how many go to Poland from USA and estern Europe ... for think safe ( after war fallow borders) and happy to be here
Definately the mcdonalds in poland is so much tastier and has flavour, unlike the ones in UK which taste like wet cardboard and don't even get me started on the fizzy drinks in UK mcdonalds which they wash down with water and tastes like crap!! Also every place that sells meat or poultry in UK is contaminated with some sort of bacteria that gives you a stomach infection.
Poland is one of the safest countries in Europe, and I mean it quite seriously. I don't know how long this security will last here due to the large number of emigrants who come to the EU all the time, but at the moment it is very good here compared to Western countries
Polish isnt that thin on vowels(czech language is), its just looks like it for english speakers beacuse we have a lot of joint sounds and vowels:
For example in Polish "y" is a vowel and "ci", "ni", "sz", "cz", "dz", "dź" etc are singular sounds
We just like an open-minded people. If you feel better than us, you're probably going to loose your teeth, if you like to know us and exchange expierience, you are welcome and totally safe. Look, Poles likes people, but are allergic to dominants. We are not racist, but make us rough when someone feels and act as our landlord. We are really connected to our pride and freedom. That's what our ancestors fought for, and that's what we are respect the most.
Warsaw old town is on theUNESKO list
Brawo 👍
Next time you are in Poland, try Burger King. Mc Donald's is nothing in comparison. And go to Wrocław, then go towards Sudety. If you like hiking, go to ŚNIEŻKA Mountain, then to Table Mountains National Park. You will be amazed.It's all a short distance, up to 100 km. Greetings from PL 👍
About first few min of that video … quality of food,but it’s not about food just ,we try do that generally in the live. Mostly times people don’t have enough money, so when we decide go restaurant and spend our hard earned money,better if that restaurant is good if not , that restaurant stay open maybe few months because we never go back there. Everything is about , if I’m make tattoos for example (I’m tattooist ha ha ) I’m must be good make good quality work because my customers give me they hard work money,and I want them coming back , and same way if I’m going to your restaurant,I’m expecting same . You’re fantastic guys!,,
soon in free moment i plain travel to USA from north to south . Tell an in Rock Bars i be there:P im 189 cm hi 114 kg wight and very fast in fight:)
in fact central europe states like poland, czechia, slovakia, hungary are more safe like germany or other west europe countries
Did you feel safe in Poland?
Poland uber alles. :)
We got almost the same alphabet. We don't have two letters and got like additional five more:P And we get some rules how to read groups of letter, but... it's it. In english (in my opinion) you need to learn how to pronunciate each word:P In Poland we got difficult grammar, we got some letters or group of letters, that is the same, or similar sounds - orthography. But it's not different alphabet:P Cyrillic is different (but we don't use it in Poland)
in terms of safety Poland it top not just in Europe. Not Whole Europe is as safe but of course nothing compare to SA.
The cities are old because the DNA of Poles is over 10,500 years old and they are located in this area...
Trev wasn't US soldier, he met polish girl on the dating app and moved for her.

There is a serious difference between tasty food and healthy one. Don't be fooled and confused!
Maybe Polish is hard to speak but may be quite easy to learn to read it. All wards are read as they are written. It only looks like it's hard but it's not. We've got sounds that are written with two letters: sz sounds like sh (shoes), cz sounds like ch (choice), dż sounds like j (juice).... We don't have letter v. V sound is written as W letter (that's why Wódka has w and not v). We have w sound, but it's written as Ł. We have two strange letters and sounds: ą and ę, but even them have some equivalent in other language - try to say French "bon ton" or "bon apetite" it will sound like "bą tą", "bą apetit". It's all seams to be complicated but in fact it's not. And again - we pronounce as we write. This is a huge advantage in learning Polish. The only question is who would and what for :). Best!
From we now know, it seems like quite a simple language and not as difficult as what we first thought 😅 I’m not sure out of Poland how much you can actually speak the language. We’ve heard there are however a lot of similarities with other languages from neighbouring countries
@@BB.Beyond.Borders polish has a difficult grammar. It is easy to learn polish to communicate but usually you say it with mistakes. Even polish people have problems with some grammar.
@@demolek22like what?
it depends on the person. I wa friendly or not . I talk to cashiers in Poland and in the UK, where I live. How is your day going? Are you tired? It's a pity you have to work on Sunday. . It depends on the character of the person, not his nationality.

20:58 Does german trains look better than US ones?
sitchin? this one who 'wrote chariots of the gods'? :D ;)
Don't say about Poland eastern world. We never felt like that, we never wanted to be a part of that world. Poland was forced after WWII . Mentally this is different world for us. Eastern Europe for us means communism and no progress.

But comparing safety on Polish streets and German is a misunderstanding! Come on
Guys if McDonalds quality amazes you I have good news. Buy better ice cream cheaper in any supermarket. Everything here is better than Mac. Mac is the last resort when all others are closed. Like a gas station. And with gas station prices too
are you talking abut Poland as a tittle said or german....i'm confussed
about the Polish Languahe, its realy hard to learn. english is easiest to learn thats why EU parlament use English and all world. think what would happend if all will use Polish and polish alphabet with 32 letters
What do you mean by ,,In Europe", as opposed to Poland? Where do you think Poland is? Chceck your GPS or paper map.
Alphabet isn't different, only few extra letters.
We did not know that. Thanks for sharing
Youre not neutral towards Poland if youre a German. Im going to spread this in every video about Poland you make. Just for people to know.
Tradycyjny macdomald😂
Alphabet is same :)
i never had problems with ice cream machine in poland
it never happend
Anywhere is safer than SA.
If you are in Poland, avoid eating Polish food at all costs. Avoid traditional foods. It's too late for me, I'm addicted. But you can save yourselves. Regards
😂😂😂😂😂😂 this just makes us want to try even more dishes
English speaking? Then imagine that Russians have similar issues with Polish language.
12:50 Poland was a little dangerouse, but that was like 12 years ago, when was a lot of a crime groups. But they were just fight with each others and police. Normal people were for them a potential customers and "wpierdol/beated" you could get only if you were no nice :P Now is just normal, quiet and peaceful, but back then hip-hop was very popular and also graffiti and block buildings were in every biggest city
12 years ago nah, nothing in comparison to what was happening in the 90’s. Since entering the EU - Poland started to be a safer place. And it’s totally safe in the last 10 years.
Hahaha You really think other EU countries are sefty? hahaha
Coming from South Africa YES
We wouldn’t know 👀 still learning and finding out. What EU countries do you consider unsafe?
@@BB.Beyond.BordersFrance, Belgium, Germany, Sweden
Guys you must more trawel and more reed. When I listen you my ears was bleeding
Poland is a shock country. U imagine u need 10000000 tons of documents to visit this country. 😂😂😂😂😂
90% Poles in the comments haha
: ))))
Only Latvia and Croatia are safer in Europe than Poland. Germany fares three times worse and is in fifth place from the bottom
You can learn Polish pretty easily in terms of easy rules how to write. All the consonants and vowels are always pronounced the same way comparing to English, once an English native speaking person learns the rules within completion of A1 level and they hear a new word that they understand from so-called context they are automatically capable to spell and write it down.
I believe polish grammar is hard for at least a third of native Poles..
7 cases of ways of pronouncing names or nouns, adjectives...
In English there is only 2 cases:
This is my car. This is a car of mine
or
She is a sister of Adam. She is Adam's sister.
in polish my name's stem always changes accordingly to cases:
(singular)
Nomative-Tomasz
Genitive-Tomasza
Dattive-Tomaszowi
Accusative-Tomasza
Instrumental-Tomaszem
Locative-Tomaszu
Vocative-Tomaszu
(plural)
Tomaszowie
Tomaszów
Tomaszom
Tomaszów
Tomaszami
Tomaszach
Tomaszowie
adjectives change the stem accordingly to gender- eng. nice (polish word FAJNY -applies to male, FAJNA-female, FAJNE-neutrum)
Polish language however-good news here!- has only 5 tenses (two past (I went-Ja poszedlem/poszlam-male version/female version, I was going-Ja szedlem/szlam-male/female version), 1-present that can be used as future too(I go to school 5 times a week-Ja chodze do szkoly 5 razy w tygodniu, I am going to school tomorrow-Ja ide jutro do szkoly), future simple (I will go-Ja pojde), future continuous (I will be going-Ja bede chodzil)-
There are no eat the equivalents to: I had gone (went), I have gone to school, I had been going, I will have gone, I am going (as it always has a version of I go now I go tomorrow (you must add either a word now or tomorrow ..to distinguish differences and to be more accurate).
Enjoy learning :)
I know poland when you are under Russia it was much better
Im from poland and i hate fast foods ...... its bad and when you say is beter then in other coutry ....... OMG this is even posibile ???
