Are the Polish forums a waste of time if you want to learn Polish?

SayNo2TurksInEU:

Yes, a waste of time. This forum mostly has threads about blacks and asians, and won't let you post in Polish - so go figure what this forum is really about.

Matowy:

This forum is entirely a waste of time if you want to learn anything related to Polish, or Poland. Mostly it's about bashing; Gays, Jews, Blacks, Asians, Americans, French, Germans, Russians, Muslims, Immigrants, Turks, Arabs, Israeli's, and any others that I've missed. Rest assured that this is more a neo-Nazi forum than a Polish forum, and in fact I've actually seen real neo-Nazi forums with more finesse, subtlety and intelligence than this place.

Are the Polish forums a waste of time if you want to learn Polish? I have found the forum useful for identifying aspects of grammar but they don't allow many translations.

Type "wordreference slavic language forums" into Google, and you'll find something far superior to this board (dumb board won't even let me post the link ffs).

The hypocritical moron above this post has some good advice, though. Word reference forums is a better place to learn the ins and outs of Polish. I would also advise you to converse via Skype, MSN, chatrooms, or other text/audio clients with people who speak Polish.

Its a place to argue, insult, have fun, discuss about Polish woman (uselessly). Create rumours, make gangs... and at the end of they day ... stay as a family :). The most interesting part comes when a strange relationship is created... :D

The leftie moron above, who happens to be too thick to learn how to quote properly, also conveniently forgot to mention that this forum has a lot of anti-Polish hate as well (interesting to see that Poles should be lumped into an "others I may have missed" category, when this is supposed to be a POLISH forum, eh?). I would advise him to go to a commie forum instead, it's clearly more his scene. And if you do a search on the aforementioned leftie's posts, you'll see that he once wrote that he was concerned by the number of non-whites he saw in London. Which makes him as racist as the so-called Nazis on here. But what would he know, he thinks there's no such thing as UK cities which are close to having an Asian majority! And everyone knows there's no bigger hypocrite than a leftie. And despite the fact that he's so "offended" (as every PC leftie always is), he's still here!

You're a hypocrite because you're actually complaining about the lack of Polish content here, when your very username pretty much embodies all of those irrelevant non-Polish topics that you seem to dislike. It actually proves my point quite well. And it's utterly hilarious that you're pathetic enough to be posting ad hominem crap as a guest, even though your actual account name is blatantly obviously, pierogi. Also, stop referring to me as a "leftie". I care little to nothing for politics.

There are plenty of threads that can help with grammar and if you have a question there are lots of Poles on here more than willing to give advice.

Admin: So, logically, you are here because you enjoy bashing different nations or social groups. What is illogical is the way you made a blatant criticism sound like a compliment. Admin: IF not, why are you still here? Gee, I don't know. Maybe talk about Polish stuff once in a while, if that's allowed here? Admin: If you admit you are a member here to "bash" then let me know and I'll gladly remove your membership privileges because we do not need members like that here. You mean you don't need more members like that here.

Matowy: What is illogical is the way you made a blatant criticism sound like a compliment. Your blatant criticism was: "This forum is entirely a waste of time if you want to learn anything related to Polish, or Poland." So, according to you, when a visitor comes to this site s/he will not learn a single thing related to Polish or Poland, correct?

We're playing the "taking obvious hyperbole's and pointlessly scrutinizing them to the length of tedium and irrelevance" game. How fun. When you're finished playing that, take some time to reflect upon the fact that by this paragraph I meant the constant bashing aspect of this forum overshadows what are supposed to be its Polish aspects. That much is undeniable.

oh for fecks sake, Admin why do you even bother replying to this troll? so matowy, you insult the forum and it's members and then deny what you just said? it's right there for everyone to read. was it supposed to be your idea of constructive critisism or something? you're one of the newest members and already have so much to say, what a freakin primadonna you are! if you wanna learn Polish sign up for a course at your local college or move to Poland. same goes to michallikes, couple of clowns with nothing to contribute apart from a load of pathetic questions and complaints. you're allowed to ask for translations once you proved you can also contribute something of your own. this is not school, you're not a paying member, the forum has a variety of sections and the native speakers are not on call 24/7 to answer to you, however important you think you are. if it's not good enough for you then feck off, you whingeing sados.

ShelleyS: You know where the door is if you dont like it...log off? Please back up your claim that I "don't like it". It's a short thread thus far, it shouldn't be hard for even you to pin-point the exact place where I said this.

ShelleyS: You just slagged off the forum I made an assessment based on my observations. I see no point at which I was incorrect in my assessment. You "slag off" the forum a lot too, constantly complaining how it's a PC muslim-asian-paki-immigrant-turkish-arab loving nightmare. I might ask you as well why you don't simply log off. ShelleyS: saying it was more nazi than a nazi forum No I didn't. Point that out for everyone to see. I think you'll find I made no such claim. ShelleyS: if you dont like it logff! Make me, you whiny brat.

Matowy: I made an assessment based on my observations Well, whats keeping you here if you dont like it? Matowy: I see no point at which I was incorrect in my assessment. Not quite, you have a certain view, others view things a different way, as I said, dont let the door hit you on the way out! Matowy: how it's a PC muslim-asian-paki-immigrant-turkish-arab Its a Polish forum, not a forum for 3rd world immigrants to talk about their disgusting religion! Matowy: I might ask you as well why you don't simply log off. Im not whining about the forum, you are! Ive also been here as a regular member for over 3 years, I quite like it here.

It is just like most things in life. Polishforums is a very helpful resource if you invest some time, effort, and intelligence. If you post stupid threads like "is this forum a waste of time?" instead of going to a thread and asking a useful question (such as a translation or grammar question) then this probably isn't the place for you. I have gotten genuine answers and help on EVERY question I have presented, no matter how trivial the questions may have seemed to the generous people that have answered.

Michallikes: Are the Polish forums a waste of time if you want to learn Polish? Fair question but I would rephrase it. Are the Polish forums members a waste of time, if you want to learn Polish?. The forum is only a platform in which we the users/abusers can inform, misinform or go off topic, off topic being not discussing topics related to Poland. I think Admin and the mods try to guide the forum and threads to be about Poland without restricting even extreme views. There are some very helpful and informative members who have a genuine interest in discussing and informing people about Poland. What people (including myself) forget often on here is, it is we the members that make this forum helpful and interesting, it is in our hands and it is about Poland. So if you want you can change it.

Based on your politics-oriented and trolly username it's clear you are a waste of time to become a member of this forum. and won't let you post in Polish With your off-topic orientation you obviously missed the Practice Your Polish forum designed to talk in Polish (in order to practice the Polish language).

Michallikes: Are the Polish forums a waste of time if you want to learn Polish? Yes. Majority of treads here are about how to pick up Polish girl or who have longer or what are relations between Poland and Papua New Guinea. Writing in English and Polish is prohibited. Many members here, especially from USA, do mistakes in Polish translations or construct amazing phrases beyond imagination. You should join linguistic Polish forum or real Polish forum like Onet or Wirtualna Polska etc There are lot of trolls there but they speak Polish for sure.

JustysiaS: so if you claim not to 'dislike' the Polish Forums (Polish Forums, not Polish for Beginners or Learn Polish Fast), how exactly do you feel about it? This place is a source of cheap discussion for me. Nothing more. You should, in fact, feel priveleged to have someone like me posting here. It should be a breath of fresh air amidst all the consistent crap. JustysiaS: if you want to see more useful threads with what you would expect to see, why don't you post some? I do see the occasional decent thread on here. It's always turned into the typical bashing-fest within 5 posts or so. JustysiaS: cos moaning never got anyone very far. Then maybe you should do less of it.
