We, the Polish, have a simple rule: we see a video about our country, we flock like moths to a flame.

W tym momencie zaczynam się zastanawiać jakim cudem ja potrafię mówić po polsku

@nathantancula2762 Рік тому

When I began learning Polish in 2008, the grammar was incomprehensible for me since I am an American, native English speaker. Fast-forward to 2023 and there are people from all corners of the world moving here and the methods of teaching Polish as a second language have drastically improved! My advice to anyone living in Poland is to try to speak as much as possible and never get intimidated. Most Poles are happy that you at least try! Krok po kroku idziemy do przodu!

Ten dziwny moment, gdy jako Polak oglądasz film o języku polskim w języku angielskim...

@bezimxdxd859 4 роки тому

po obejrzeniu dziwie się, że potrafię mówić po polsku.

@ivayola

I'm a Bulgarian Polish speaker, and I can confirm that this has been the hardest Slavic language to learn. Guess the reason is that Poland is geographically the most distant country to Bulgaria from all other Slavic. However, I love the Polish culture, patriotic spirit, and the Polish people! BG♥PL!

@sp0kojnypl

As native, i need to tell: we dont know how we speak, it's just our "flow" so dont be afraid ;)

Just as the Indonesian 🇮🇩 and Polish 🇵🇱 flags are opposite to each other, "tak" means no in Indonesian and yes in Polish.

I'm russian, and when I came to meet relatives in Belarus, I met a Polish girl at the station and we understood only the general meaning of the phrases, but we somehow communicated. An hour later we were speaking some weird sort of dialect of the pan-slavic mixed with alien language and understood each other perfectly) Beautiful language, nice people, and, in my opinion, the most beautiful writing, maybe one day I will start learning. Best wishes for poles and everyone who read this

Im a simple hungarian. When I see something about Poland, I press like like there is no tomorrow!

I'm Costa Rican. I speak Spanish. She's Polish. Obviously speaks Polish. We met for the first time in Japan since we teach Japanese in our respective countries. We speak in Japanese. I taught her a little bit of Spanish. She enjoyed it. I ask her to teach me Polish. Then she said in Japanese "you don't want to learn Polish, believe me, there is nothing simple I can teach you". Still I was curious. Then, I watched this video. Yep, she was totally right. I can't believe Polish is this complicated. But, if someday I go there, I want to speak a little Polish to make her happy. If she someday comes here, I want to speak a little Polish in case she becomes homesick. So, ¡yo le entro, papá! 望むところにござる！
