@@monikaherath7505 Honestly, It depends on many factors. For me, I don't have any issues with Ukrainians in my place. I mean, I live in small village, near the small city and there are not many Ukrainians. I had opportunity to meet only a few immigrants, but In my view they are common people. Additionally, I haven't noticed any act of xenobofia in my school yet, so they have sufficent conditions to live here without pressure. I' am not informed enough to assess the situation across the country, but it's only my own point of view. Perhaps someone introduce you more valuable opinion on this topic.

That 3:49 lady omg as someone who grew up in Canada speaking English but was born to Chinese immigrant parents I cannot stress how much I have thought about this and how much privileged I feel that native English speakers across the world are. we should really put our English arrogance aside and try to learn other languages.
To know foreign languages is cool, but maybe to learn them is cooler still! The process lets you to immerse in other cultures and to improve yourself. For those interested in learning languages, videos from my channel might be useful:) ruclips.net/video/DrFRgDHeN0w/видео.html
I am not sure whether someone only speaking English can be called privileged. Lots of culture and humor opens up to one when one learns other languages.
@@SurfinScientist agree - we have 3 main families of languages in Europe (Roman,Germanic,Slavic), I would like to learn some Roman language as i feel that those are closer in mentality to Slavic than Germanic like English. Anyway it would be great to know one from each familie for anybody who wants to be called European humanist.

I only wish I could start to learn it much earlier - Spanish is so very beautiful, poetic, romantic, musical language that I am totally in love with it :))) I am Polish and my polish is very sophisticated because I love my language and always loved to learn it...and I will tell you that Spanish is very similar to Polish - nearly the same grammar rules, many words are similar or the same: biblioteca - biblioteka Europa - Europa Francia - Francja autobus - autobus boleto - bilet Con Dios (love this saying) :)

@@M3rl1n177 Yes, there were a lot of different nations living in Poland. But well, polish wasnt even dominant language in Poland (just as many people spoke german; it was official language in Kraków, Toruń and in general most of western Poland; most of people on the east didnt speak Polish as well). I can send you texts of Polish noblemen refering to King as a father, noblemen as family, non-nobles as servants or random merchants you trade with (yes, in XV-XVII regular non-noble folks werent even considered Poles) and jews as usurers. If i remeber correctly it was Modrzewski's concept. But ye, Poland accepted all the jews who flew from Spain, Netherlands, Italy etc. So its true that people living in Poland were a lot more tolerant than in countries on the west.
So nice to see the videos, thanks a lot for them! People are friendly and smiling, great to hear those short conversations! I live in Warsaw now and speak 3 languages but I hope that Polish will be the fourth soon!

Tbh Poland is not cold at all. We have 5 days a year with temperatures below 0 degree. Yesterday (31 december) we had 16 degree celsius here, in Wrocław. I mean, this video has been recorded in literally the coldest day of the year xd. All the snow is already melted. And btw., it was completely different around 20 years ago. Back then the temperature of around -15 wasnt anything special.
It isn’t cold as ppl think, we get maybe in total 2-3 weeks in winter when is super cold and temp drop down to -10 during a day. Scandinavian countries are way cooler than Poland…
To miłe, że tak wielu obcokrajowców z różnych stron świata jest w Polsce, zwiedza Polskę. Ludzie otwarci, wyedukowani, życzliwi. Fajnie bylo usłyszeć, że Polacy znają języki obce, niektóre również dla rozwoju osobistego np japoński.
Poland is not as cold as all think. During winter there is Max 1 month below 0 degrees, in summer temperatures are between 20 and 35, ofc there is 3 days with -20 and 3 days with 40, but it’s pretty rare. Btw so good video!❤️🐢
looking at this video i wish we had a weather like yours. hasn't rained at ALL here in bulgaria. during late December it was cold but it didn't rain, and now it's hot enough, i dont even go out with an umbrella or jacket on me anymore.
Poland is not so cold temperature wise, but as a Scandinavian who is used to cold weather, I was caught by surprise how much I was freezing in Poland in the Winter. 🥶 I think it’s because of the high humidity. The humid cold in Poland when it was +4C felt worse than -15C. The best way I can describe it is as a different type of cold. Anyway, I thought that was interesting because I was not prepared for the Polish type of cold. Now I am 😄
@@strawberrysmoothie5171 Funny thing, I have a friend from Oman who were studying in Warsaw. He said it is much hotter for him in Poland during summer than in Oman (which is on Arabian Penisula).

Tbh after one year Poland and Ukrainian should get same help from government etc. Not Ukrainian more, Polish less. For example Ukrainian lonely mother getting more than same Polish isn't fair. Okay after 3-4 months but not after one year. But sorry too many healthy and young men's walking in Poland instead defending Ukraine. So, Poland should be fair for citizens.
@valentynchubukin4758 Broo u r in my country not I'm in yours. If studying for they is more important than country, okay. I know a few lonely mother it's my proof. What is funny, my mother is a doctor and some Ukrainians are in shock because she doesn't speak in Ukrainian language 😂 And many many other stupid things now is in Poland.
Interesting to not that this command of the English language, all over the world, makes the natives of the English, many of them of course, lazy to learn other languages and cultures; which is harm to them most than it is for us, not English speakers, in my perspective at least.
@alexprestes6106 this is totally correct. I'm an Australian and a native English speaker. I learnt some broken French in high school and can get by in France (albeit just). I'm sure if I lived in France for 6 months I'd develop my skills to a more advanced level. The issue is that because English is SO prevalent in the media, news, internet etc in Australia we don't get much exposure to a foreign language, and even if you do learn one, unless you use it all the time you forget lots of it. My aunty could speak advanced French in the 80s, she still can speak a bit, but has lost lots of it because it just isn't really a useful skill here unfortunately. In europe it's easier as you commonly meet people from different countries so you're constantly practising.
I'm pretty much into learning languages but despite the fact if being from neighbouring Germany, I haven't made it yet to learn Polish. My West German socialisation made me turn towards English, French and Spanish but when I travelled to Poland, I always had the desire to commmunicate with the people in their language. Once I booght a book with standard sentencea in Polish to be prepared for my trip. There were loada of useful everyday sentences in there such as "Do you have a coat hanger for me?" I even found the sentence to ask for the right way to the teain station. But the oerson answered in Polish and nobody was able ti tell me on which page I'd find the answer. Possibly he just said:"Stop making a fool of yourself!" But it was a useful experience. I learnt when you ask a Polish in Polish , they are very likely to answer
I know, for whatever reason, we tend to learn our neighbors to the west language and not to the east; that is true for Poland as well. Obviously the reason might be because we usually emigrate that way, but still we have plenty of people from the East, Ukraine is huge so there’s more and more people learning Ukranian, but not as many as the people learning English or German.
i’m also a scottish person who only speaks one language😭. the way other places teach languages so well amazes me. i did 2 years of french at school yet i can only remember about 3 words. i don’t know if it’s that our schools are bad at teaching languages or if we’re bad at learning languages, maybe both lol. or it could be like the english lady said, we just go places and expect people to speak english so then we don’t see the point in learning another language. i’m currently trying to learn spanish but i’m finding it difficult since i didn’t get any foreign language skills from school.
I think it’s about age. I’m from Poland and however my English is pretty good, cuz I started about 7, my German is like all about “ü” 😂 Cuz I was 16 and 4 years of learning didn’t helped too much😅
For brits its hard to learn languages because english is not phonetical, if it was obligatory to learn basic latin in the primary school, it would be much much easier for you
Don’t be so harsh on yourself. It’s easier for us to learn and practice English. I’m German, born and raised and still living in Germany and working for a big German company. But we speak English at work; many immigrants here don’t bother to learn decent German, as they don’t need to. I even speak English with my wife and child. I learned many other languages over the years, including Russian and Japanese, and I struggle with them and keep forgetting things. They are just not around everyday and everywhere like English.
What a delightful video, greetings from Poland! I'm from Łódź but I've recently been in both Kraków and Warsaw. If you'd run into me and ask me this question, it could get awkward because I kinda speak 0 languages when stressed. 😅 Meaning I stutter and don't know what to say even in my native Polish, and it's much worse in English.
@@theneanderthal69 Thank you! I've also learned a bit of German, a tinny bit of Russian and recently some Ukrainian but I don't feel very confident in any of them. The Slavic ones should be easier, as close to each other and to my own language, but that apparently makes me mix them all up. Oh, and technically I had to take three semesters of a Latin course at the University but that was a disaster. I had no idea how I passed, and I forgot most of what little I'd learned. However, that one scene in Monthy Phyton's _Life of Brian_ is now extra funny for me. 😄
@@suchendnachwahrheit9143 Thanks, I'm glad to hear you think so! Łódź has a bit of a bad reputation in Poland, as the supposed worst one among the major cities or the one people forget about. I think it is underappreciated. Long story short, for most of its 600 years it was a small rural town, then it rapidly grew during the Industrial Revolution (which also happened to be the time when there was no independent Poland), but it left its golden age behind early into the 20th century and has been struggling a bit ever since, going from being called the “Polish Manchester” to the “Polish Detroit”. It's not as bad as most people make it out to be though.
@@Artur_M. Yeah, my father had a Polish collegue, who described Lodz as very multi cultural for Polish standards with many different valuable influences from different European parts over the last two centuries. In Germany we have quite a lot of overapreciated stuff, lol, and also tons of unknown cities, who are quite nice. Frankfurt alone is such a mess and is still considered very nice in Germany. Or Cologne, a City as ugly as the sun is bright. (I hate Cologne) My foreign eyes would never have come to the conclusion that Lodz is somewhat unpopular with Polish natives, while many foreigners might not share my opinion about Cologne. It is often eye opening to get some foreigner's opinions to one's home City to apreciate it more.
The total number of Poles is 38 million in the country outside of Poland in Europe 5 million but you know Ukrainians are well over 6 million in our country take into account that in Poland Poles work hard but it's true you can hear that from 10.00 to 16.00 you can hear more Ukrainians
I Polish society is aging by 2100 Poles from 38 million are to be 25 million but apparently the President of Poland is to fix it Polish population is to increase
I know only Polish, average Ukrainian and unsatisfactory English. But my daughter speaks Polish, English, French, Russian and Hungarian. She studies Hungarian philology.
Maybe next time you could do your interviews a bit further away from the tourist hot spots. It's not so easy to find a lot of Polish people in the city center of Krakow. I live 12 min tram ride away from the main square, but only go there if it's really necessary - it's simply overcrowded for regular residents.
I am amazed that so few speak German. Because German is the most spoken language in Europe with over 100 million native speakers. In Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol (north Italy), Luxembourg, East Belgium, Lichtenstein.
6:15 "It's very cold." Well, it's winter at 52.2 latitude, continental climate... BUT, they had almost 19°C at the Warsaw airport on New Year's Day 2023. That's extremely rare at this time of the year (crazy weather patterns of the recent decades).

My maternal grandmother was a Romanian so I can speak it in A2. My russian is basic like A1. My Italian is B2 and my German is between B1 and B2. I’ll learn Spanish in a near future.

Thank you for making this. I have seen several of your videos - London, Montréal and now Poland. I would enjoy seeing a video like this made in Calgary, and made in Vancouver. We have so many different ethnic peoples here. Also, it would be nice to see a year for the video.
Fascinating video!! These people are so generous with their time and willingness to communicate. As for me, I am a native English speaker, (US), and can get by in Italian, which I understand much more than I can speak or write, and rudimentary French. These are also the only languages in which I had classroom instruction. Coming in contact with native speakers through my work and travel, I can manage basic Spanish and some words in Portuguese, German, and Polish though not enough to have a conversation. During lockdown in 2020, I tried to learn the Cyrillic alphabet via RUclips, (daunting), and basic Russian pronunciation. Although I failed at both, I did develop a profound appreciation for Russians who can speak English Irregardless of their level of fluency. Chuck
@@stepanfedorov561 Yeah, Greek is certainly tough too. And while I learned from a Greek coworker a few phrases in the Greek language, I would never be able to read them as written in the Greek alphabet. Coming from a scientific and Christian theology background, I learned a number of Greek letters and words in the course of studies. Though this hardly qualifies as fluency, I did learn some Greek pronunciation phonetically. Then again, there is also the issue of modern Greek vs Classical Greek.
I am 44 years old and I speak English and Spanish. I didn’t start learning Spanish until I was 40 years old. I wish I knew a ton more languages and hope to try and learn another one soon. However, as an American, I am embarrassed that more Americans don’t know multiple, even though I understand why it tends to happen.

Thank you dear Polish people for taking care of Ukrainians. I am Ukrainian. I speak 2 languages Ukrainian and English. I did not leave Ukraine when russia started full scale war against Ukrainians. I leave in Kyiv. I am happy that Ukrainians manage to pay taxes to Poland. See official info: Ukrainians in Poland have paid €2B in taxes, three times more than the country spends on refugees.
Is the info applying also on ukrainians who lived here before the war? Also, i did not expect that it would be actually profitable for our country, especially concidering refugees are mostly people who are rather unable to work (elderly, children and single mothers). Quite a blessing
@Ohla Ovcharenko Don't spread any false propaganda. Where do you have the data from??? Millions of ukrainias who are not refugees take billions PLN from the Polish state for nothing - they even don't stay in Poland, but go here to register, go back to ukraine and take social benefits from Poland. In the middle of 2022 I heard one of Polish ministers who said, that for the help for ukrainians who came to Poland the state only in 2022 will spend over 40 billions PLN. And what about all the help we have given for free for ukraine for many years??? Oil, electric energy, gas, weapons for billions of USD, ammunition, medical help, power generators, direct financial help etc. etc. So what do even the 2 billions EUR you mentioned (if it's true) mean??? Also many ukrainians in Poland are very impudent, like the ukrainian state - show no respect to Poles and Poland. Your state killed at least two Polish citizens in Poland in November 2022 by a rocket fire to provoke a war between Poland and Russia and even didn't say sorry for this. Your state is governed by mafia of western capital, jewish oligarchs and nationalist who glorify war criminals like bandera, szuchewycz and others. In such situation there will be never good relations between Poles and ukrainians. Many Poles have very negative experiences and opinions about ukrainians. My whole family too.
I am Polish and I am fascinated with Jewish culture as well and I am planning to learn Hebrew ... at least a little. I have no jewish roots but my family would always respect their heritage.

Poland became one of the most important hosts for international students searching for the best European universities.

3:14 I am also an Ellen from England! I speak English, French and am learning Russian. Many point to Americans for this, but her observation that most Brits solely speak English and expect others to speak our language is very true. We are often just as guilty.
what's guilty about it? English is the modern lingua franca for most of the world, speakers of languages very similiar to each other, for instance Polish and Ukrainian, will often use English when they have problems communicating only in their native tongues
Most people learn another language due to necessity, not because they are interested in it. Native English-speaking people do not generally have a pressing need to learn a foreign language, so they don't. However, some non-English speaking nationalities are not much different. I'm American and work with Hispanics. Some of them don't speak much English at all despite having lived here for years. I often serve customers in Spanish and my coworkers speak to me primarily in Spanish. I'm cool with it because I want to learn their language, but sometimes it seems to me that they don't really want to learn English because they only speak to me in their mothertongue. If I were them, I would use any opportunity to practice and improve my foreign language skills with a native speaker, but most of them just want to be comfortable. Many businesses offer services in Spanish to cater to this population because the Latin American immigrant community is so large. It is also not unusual for Russians to be fluent only in Russian.

That 3:49 lady omg as someone who grew up in Canada speaking English but was born to Chinese immigrant parents I cannot stress how much I have thought about this and how much privileged I feel that native English speakers across the world are. we should really put our English arrogance aside and try to learn other languages.
❤️🥰❤️🥰
Yes, you really should
To know foreign languages is cool, but maybe to learn them is cooler still! The process lets you to immerse in other cultures and to improve yourself. For those interested in learning languages, videos from my channel might be useful:)

I am not sure whether someone only speaking English can be called privileged. Lots of culture and humor opens up to one when one learns other languages.
@@SurfinScientist agree - we have 3 main families of languages in Europe (Roman,Germanic,Slavic), I would like to learn some Roman language as i feel that those are closer in mentality to Slavic than Germanic like English. Anyway it would be great to know one from each familie for anybody who wants to be called European humanist.

two and half

As a Spaniard, I'm pretty flattered that so many Poles speak or are learning Spanish. You guys are welcome here anytime!
Man, I started to learn Spanish some 3 years ago and if I was not so busy later on I would speak Spanish already very well.
I only wish I could start to learn it much earlier - Spanish is so very beautiful, poetic, romantic, musical language that I am totally in love with it :)))
I am Polish and my polish is very sophisticated because I love my language and always loved to learn it...and I will tell you that Spanish is very similar to Polish - nearly the same grammar rules, many words are similar or the same:
biblioteca - biblioteka
Europa - Europa
Francia - Francja
autobus - autobus

@@M3rl1n177 Thats oversimplified take.
@@M3rl1n177 they weren't. poles mostly didnt like jews
@@M3rl1n177 Yes, there were a lot of different nations living in Poland. But well, polish wasnt even dominant language in Poland (just as many people spoke german; it was official language in Kraków, Toruń and in general most of western Poland; most of people on the east didnt speak Polish as well).
I can send you texts of Polish noblemen refering to King as a father, noblemen as family, non-nobles as servants or random merchants you trade with (yes, in XV-XVII regular non-noble folks werent even considered Poles) and jews as usurers. If i remeber correctly it was Modrzewski's concept.
But ye, Poland accepted all the jews who flew from Spain, Netherlands, Italy etc. So its true that people living in Poland were a lot more tolerant than in countries on the west.
@@ku8adop Thats not true. The tensions between Poles and jews started during interwar period.

Tbh Poland is not cold at all. We have 5 days a year with temperatures below 0 degree. Yesterday (31 december) we had 16 degree celsius here, in Wrocław.
I mean, this video has been recorded in literally the coldest day of the year xd. All the snow is already melted.
And btw., it was completely different around 20 years ago. Back then the temperature of around -15 wasnt anything special.
It isn’t cold as ppl think, we get maybe in total 2-3 weeks in winter when is super cold and temp drop down to -10 during a day. Scandinavian countries are way cooler than Poland…
@@Kam7777 2-3 weeks? wtf, more like 2-3 days xd. Ok, max like 2 weeks :(

Poland is not as cold as all think.
During winter there is Max 1 month below 0 degrees, in summer temperatures are between 20 and 35, ofc there is 3 days with -20 and 3 days with 40, but it’s pretty rare.
Btw so good video!❤️🐢
looking at this video i wish we had a weather like yours. hasn't rained at ALL here in bulgaria. during late December it was cold but it didn't rain, and now it's hot enough, i dont even go out with an umbrella or jacket on me anymore.
Poland is not so cold temperature wise, but as a Scandinavian who is used to cold weather, I was caught by surprise how much I was freezing in Poland in the Winter. 🥶 I think it’s because of the high humidity. The humid cold in Poland when it was +4C felt worse than -15C. The best way I can describe it is as a different type of cold. Anyway, I thought that was interesting because I was not prepared for the Polish type of cold. Now I am 😄
@@strawberrysmoothie5171 Funny thing, I have a friend from Oman who were studying in Warsaw. He said it is much hotter for him in Poland during summer than in Oman (which is on Arabian Penisula).

Interesting to not that this command of the English language, all over the world, makes the natives of the English, many of them of course, lazy to learn other languages and cultures; which is harm to them most than it is for us, not English speakers, in my perspective at least.
@@cieslik7564ecause why must English Kids learn English if the whole world speaks english
@alexprestes6106 this is totally correct. I'm an Australian and a native English speaker. I learnt some broken French in high school and can get by in France (albeit just). I'm sure if I lived in France for 6 months I'd develop my skills to a more advanced level. The issue is that because English is SO prevalent in the media, news, internet etc in Australia we don't get much exposure to a foreign language, and even if you do learn one, unless you use it all the time you forget lots of it. My aunty could speak advanced French in the 80s, she still can speak a bit, but has lost lots of it because it just isn't really a useful skill here unfortunately. In europe it's easier as you commonly meet people from different countries so you're constantly practising.
6:33 ?
I'm pretty much into learning languages but despite the fact if being from neighbouring Germany, I haven't made it yet to learn Polish. My West German socialisation made me turn towards English, French and Spanish but when I travelled to Poland, I always had the desire to commmunicate with the people in their language. Once I booght a book with standard sentencea in Polish to be prepared for my trip. There were loada of useful everyday sentences in there such as "Do you have a coat hanger for me?" I even found the sentence to ask for the right way to the teain station. But the oerson answered in Polish and nobody was able ti tell me on which page I'd find the answer. Possibly he just said:"Stop making a fool of yourself!" But it was a useful experience. I learnt when you ask a Polish in Polish , they are very likely to answer
In Polish

I know, for whatever reason, we tend to learn our neighbors to the west language and not to the east; that is true for Poland as well. Obviously the reason might be because we usually emigrate that way, but still we have plenty of people from the East, Ukraine is huge so there’s more and more people learning Ukranian, but not as many as the people learning English or German.
i’m also a scottish person who only speaks one language😭. the way other places teach languages so well amazes me. i did 2 years of french at school yet i can only remember about 3 words. i don’t know if it’s that our schools are bad at teaching languages or if we’re bad at learning languages, maybe both lol. or it could be like the english lady said, we just go places and expect people to speak english so then we don’t see the point in learning another language. i’m currently trying to learn spanish but i’m finding it difficult since i didn’t get any foreign language skills from school.
😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄
I think it’s about age. I’m from Poland and however my English is pretty good, cuz I started about 7, my German is like all about “ü” 😂 Cuz I was 16 and 4 years of learning didn’t helped too much😅
For brits its hard to learn languages because english is not phonetical, if it was obligatory to learn basic latin in the primary school, it would be much much easier for you
Don’t be so harsh on yourself. It’s easier for us to learn and practice English. I’m German, born and raised and still living in Germany and working for a big German company. But we speak English at work; many immigrants here don’t bother to learn decent German, as they don’t need to. I even speak English with my wife and child. I learned many other languages over the years, including Russian and Japanese, and I struggle with them and keep forgetting things. They are just not around everyday and everywhere like English.
They don't teach languages right in schools
Kraków is a very beautiful city.

Lodz is beautful
@@theneanderthal69 Thank you! I've also learned a bit of German, a tinny bit of Russian and recently some Ukrainian but I don't feel very confident in any of them. The Slavic ones should be easier, as close to each other and to my own language, but that apparently makes me mix them all up.
Oh, and technically I had to take three semesters of a Latin course at the University but that was a disaster. I had no idea how I passed, and I forgot most of what little I'd learned. However, that one scene in Monthy Phyton's _Life of Brian_ is now extra funny for me. 😄
@@suchendnachwahrheit9143 Thanks, I'm glad to hear you think so!
Łódź has a bit of a bad reputation in Poland, as the supposed worst one among the major cities or the one people forget about. I think it is underappreciated. Long story short, for most of its 600 years it was a small rural town, then it rapidly grew during the Industrial Revolution (which also happened to be the time when there was no independent Poland), but it left its golden age behind early into the 20th century and has been struggling a bit ever since, going from being called the “Polish Manchester” to the “Polish Detroit”. It's not as bad as most people make it out to be though.
@@Artur_M. Yeah, my father had a Polish collegue, who described Lodz as very multi cultural for Polish standards with many different valuable influences from different European parts over the last two centuries.
In Germany we have quite a lot of overapreciated stuff, lol, and also tons of unknown cities, who are quite nice.
Frankfurt alone is such a mess and is still considered very nice in Germany. Or Cologne, a City as ugly as the sun is bright. (I hate Cologne)
My foreign eyes would never have come to the conclusion that Lodz is somewhat unpopular with Polish natives, while many foreigners might not share my opinion about Cologne.
It is often eye opening to get some foreigner's opinions to one's home City to apreciate it more.
It feels in Poland there are more Ukrainians and other foreigners than Poles. But maybe it was recorded at working time ;-)
O tej porze roku robi się ciemno o 16.00.

The total number of Poles is 38 million in the country outside of Poland in Europe 5 million but you know Ukrainians are well over 6 million in our country take into account that in Poland Poles work hard but it's true you can hear that from 10.00 to 16.00 you can hear more Ukrainians

I like to visit Poland someday ! It appears to be a beautiful country !
Fascinating video!! These people are so generous with their time and willingness to communicate. As for me, I am a native English speaker, (US), and can get by in Italian, which I understand much more than I can speak or write, and rudimentary French. These are also the only languages in which I had classroom instruction. Coming in contact with native speakers through my work and travel, I can manage basic Spanish and some words in Portuguese, German, and Polish though not enough to have a conversation. During lockdown in 2020, I tried to learn the Cyrillic alphabet via RUclips, (daunting), and basic Russian pronunciation. Although I failed at both, I did develop a profound appreciation for Russians who can speak English Irregardless of their level of fluency.
Chuck
But at least the Cyrillic alphabet is simpler than the Greek alphabet
@@stepanfedorov561 Yeah, Greek is certainly tough too. And while I learned from a Greek coworker a few phrases in the Greek language, I would never be able to read them as written in the Greek alphabet. Coming from a scientific and Christian theology background, I learned a number of Greek letters and words in the course of studies. Though this hardly qualifies as fluency, I did learn some Greek pronunciation phonetically. Then again, there is also the issue of modern Greek vs Classical Greek.
I am 44 years old and I speak English and Spanish. I didn’t start learning Spanish until I was 40 years old. I wish I knew a ton more languages and hope to try and learn another one soon. However, as an American, I am embarrassed that more Americans don’t know multiple, even though I understand why it tends to happen.

I leave in Kyiv. I am happy that Ukrainians manage to pay taxes to Poland. See official info: Ukrainians in Poland have paid €2B in taxes, three times more than the country spends on refugees.
I leave in Kiev. Ты прям англичанин
Is the info applying also on ukrainians who lived here before the war? Also, i did not expect that it would be actually profitable for our country, especially concidering refugees are mostly people who are rather unable to work (elderly, children and single mothers). Quite a blessing
Типо ты русский не знаешь? Ахаха
they paid 2B but took twice of that in social help, so its not that perfect ;) lets just hope war ends asap
@Ohla Ovcharenko Don't spread any false propaganda. Where do you have the data from??? Millions of ukrainias who are not refugees take billions PLN from the Polish state for nothing - they even don't stay in Poland, but go here to register, go back to ukraine and take social benefits from Poland. In the middle of 2022 I heard one of Polish ministers who said, that for the help for ukrainians who came to Poland the state only in 2022 will spend over 40 billions PLN. And what about all the help we have given for free for ukraine for many years??? Oil, electric energy, gas, weapons for billions of USD, ammunition, medical help, power generators, direct financial help etc. etc. So what do even the 2 billions EUR you mentioned (if it's true) mean???
Also many ukrainians in Poland are very impudent, like the ukrainian state - show no respect to Poles and Poland. Your state killed at least two Polish citizens in Poland in November 2022 by a rocket fire to provoke a war between Poland and Russia and even didn't say sorry for this. Your state is governed by mafia of western capital, jewish oligarchs and nationalist who glorify war criminals like bandera, szuchewycz and others. In such situation there will be never good relations between Poles and ukrainians. Many Poles have very negative experiences and opinions about ukrainians. My whole family too.
It's funny that most of people you meet are foreigners/tourist. I'm a Pole and I spend a year in Warsaw and most people I talked with were tourist.
I am Polish and I am fascinated with Jewish culture as well and I am planning to learn Hebrew ... at least a little. I have no jewish roots but my family would always respect their heritage.

Yes you are right! I love slavic languages but also the turkic ones. Happy new year.
@@atlantis4516 happy new year)
I met plenty of Polish people in my journey to Poland this summer. Such a beautiful place to visit.
I wish as someone from England we spoke more languages. So many other countries put us to shame!
You don't need to :)) Enjoy your this great chance. Most of us envy you guys. Greeting from Turkey btw
Where exactly you spot people makes difference. In Krakow it seemed like tourist area. In Warsaw you were next to Jewish Museum that have lot of foreign visitors too. So not that many Polish people in this.
Nice video, as always! But can you make another one where you ask Poles? There are almost 40 million of them in Poland, it shouldn't be difficult 🤔
Perhaps No More than 35 milions Poles in Poland, but most of them work hard to earn their wages during the additional 5 millions benefits seekers tourists running free around the town that why is so hard to found any typical Poles right there and ask that question.
@@JanKowalski-go1gr No, there are currently about 38 million Poles, according to the latest research. I don't know where you got 35, pal.
In the other hand, Ukraine left millions people, and their demographics are worse than in Poland, they simply do not update the data

@@JanKowalski-go1gr No, it just a tourist place, because of that there so many tourists. Isn't it logical?
And one more: Ukrainians work and study too. Most of Ukrainians in video: pensioners, or students.
Love the guy who said I only English ah Polish and he's friend burst out laughing..
Your so nice in your interviews -warm heart brother.
Dużo Polaków w tej Polsce ;)
Polacy pracują, a ukraińcy się bawią ;) Gorszych przyjaciół chyba nie mogliśmy sobie wybrać. Zbrodnie niemców to przy ukraińcach małe piwo.

@user-ui9ii4np8b you think that you do something good with this comment, but you're not. Keep dividing Ukrainians around the world, it will be very beneficial for us all...
I wished you'd asked more Poles. Great video nonetheless.
I also wanted to get more answers from Poles, it just worked out this way. If I had more time I would have walked around a more local area to add to the video. Thanks for watching :)
@@TheNewTravel Regular citizens of Krakow who do not work in Old Town do not go there. I know people who did not been there for 6 years in Main Market Square and they live in Kraków whole life.
Old Town is like museum for tourists nothing for citizens there.

Nice, whimsical cutaways to those beautiful city views.
As a polish person, and I'm not adult, I can speak 4 languages. English, Polish, Spanish and german. I learned everything at school, be it at home or in extracurricular activities. Everything is possible, but it takes willpower! :D
I speak 4 languages, however, when people realise you are English, its very difficult to stave off their desire for a practice session. Indians are world champions at multi lingual communication and they still want to talk in my mother tongue.
I am polish and live in Poland. I speak English, German, and of course Polish.
Poland became one of the most important hosts for international students searching for the best European universities. The country serves as a model globally, and that’s because the investments made here are steady. Poland created a high-quality education environment due to its traditions of academic education which goes back to 1364.
Hopefully they do not stay and ruin the homogenous country poland has fought so hard to keep intact, unlike western europe.
@deadbloxxepic
I hope so too, but I don't count on it happening- in my opinion everything is heading towards a global kolkohz.

It does no matter how many languages you speak. What really matters is if you have something interesting to say.
@richardschiffman6418 Yes. But sometimes is better to listen, than to talk. Isn't it?

Love the fact that the Ukrainian guy at 9:48 started rating his languages using official language ratings :D
when you learn a foreign language ussualy theres test for every level so people who learn a few languages i think are more likely to rate them like that
Thanks for this video
I noticed that Ukrainians have a great ability to learn languages. Because they know at least 2-3 languages from the birth. It’s incredible ❤
Yeah, don't forget, that would tell U they speak a language if they can introduce themselves and say few simple sentences. That's theirs "knowledge" of languages. 🤣
Its not depends wich country you were Born Just If you have a Skill or not. I wouldn't Say that they have ,,great abillity,, its completly Not true IMAO
I’m polish and I’m 14 and I speak polish, English, spanish, italian and german. Learned it all on my own
The German dude who complains that it is so cold also thinks he comes from the south of Europe. Hello, you live only a few km next door lol
I watched your previous films, low-key wanting to take part in one of those. So basically you actually passed by my place in that film, so cool 😂
Also I guess it was just the time of the year that most of polish people just sit in their homes, and you can meet mainly tourists.
3:14 I am also an Ellen from England! I speak English, French and am learning Russian. Many point to Americans for this, but her observation that most Brits solely speak English and expect others to speak our language is very true. We are often just as guilty.
what's guilty about it? English is the modern lingua franca for most of the world, speakers of languages very similiar to each other, for instance Polish and Ukrainian, will often use English when they have problems communicating only in their native tongues
Most people learn another language due to necessity, not because they are interested in it.
Native English-speaking people do not generally have a pressing need to learn a foreign language, so they don't.
However, some non-English speaking nationalities are not much different. I'm American and work with Hispanics. Some of them don't speak much English at all despite having lived here for years. I often serve customers in Spanish and my coworkers speak to me primarily in Spanish. I'm cool with it because I want to learn their language, but sometimes it seems to me that they don't really want to learn English because they only speak to me in their mothertongue. If I were them, I would use any opportunity to practice and improve my foreign language skills with a native speaker, but most of them just want to be comfortable.
Many businesses offer services in Spanish to cater to this population because the Latin American immigrant community is so large.
It is also not unusual for Russians to be fluent only in Russian.
Wow really impressed with your lessons You are great just for trying to learn polish good luck don't give up you doing great 👍
