As long as I know, yes, masses. Of course, there are not as many of those who want to learn English, but there's a strong trend for everything Iberoamerican, from dances, through Spanish language to holiday destinations.

I just had no idea that it was spoken in Poland, too. Spanish being helpful in the USA is a bit of an exaggeration. There are many, many Asians here and they're the ones who own businesses so it's actually better to learn an Asian language, in my opinion.

There's more to Spanish than just spanish culture. There are over 20 countries where Spanish is the first language and a few more where it's a major second language, USA for example.

If you plan to travel, are interested in music, film, history or anything else where the knowledge of the language is vital, you'll obviously want to learn it.

You may not realise that Spanish is rather easy to learn for Polish natives - the pronunciation is very similar, some grammatical rules are the same, and even words are identical, with the c/k spelling factor ignored. Take some Spanish words like biblioteca, lupa, acrobata or mapa and every Pole will tell you they're Polish. Of course they're of Latin origin and are similar in many other languages too.

I don't know why learning languages seems funny to you and I hope it's temporary. Polish people like finding new things to learn and that includes languages, be it Japanese, Norwegian or Arabic.

Yeah, you've definitely opened my eyes. And I had noticed that Polish is pronounced a lot like Spanish and that many words are very similar. I wonder why that is.

as bossie said a lot of our words come from latin.i rememer there was a program on the polish tv.one of the guys there was spanish who have only been learning polish for a year and was fluent in polish.it was amazing.he didn't make a single mistake and his spanish accent was unrecognizable.

It's Latin. Many European languages kept tight links with the ancient mother of all (European) languages. Some have evolved more, some less. We mustn't forget that in medieval Europe Latin was the language of religion, then was French, also a language close to Latin. Now many Latin expressions are present in many tongues, Latin is still used in medicine and law.

The case of polish is similar. Actually, there are many things you can call either with a Polish word of eastern origin or a Latin-based one. For example kochanek-amant, miłośnik-amator, samochód-auto, piłka nożna-futbol, dziennikarz-żurnalista.

I hear the word "curva" means something entirely different in Polish than in Spanish. It means "curve" in Spanish and is pronounced exactly like the Polish word.

Once you learn what it means, you may want to imagine the word comes from the place where they wait for customers. That's just my speculation though...

Hey everyone!
Well, mexican, the sound "curva" in polish is a bad word, I suggest you don't use it. When my girlfriend came to Mexico and we made a road trip, it was funny to see the signs "curva peligrosa" (dangerous curve). Cause well, it can be dangerous to be with a... well, you know the word.

I'm very interested in languages. I speak english, some german and I enjoy discovering structures in other languages. Now I try to learn polish. Me and my girlfriend always have fun trying to find words which are similar both in polish and spanish and mean the same. Like "grupo" with "grupa" or "mueble" with "meble", also "ojo" (oho) with "oko". And many more.

Yes, like some of you guys have already pointed out correctly, many words come from latin. Many words which come from latin and greek are used in many langauges. Take "theology" for example, in spanish it's "teología" while in german it's "Theologie" and guess what, in polish it's "teologia". Only difference in this word between spanish and polish is where the accent lies and the pronunciation of the G. "History" is another example, "historia" and "historia", where the pronounciation of the H in polish is what makes it different from the spanish "istoria" pronunciation.

And yes, the good thing is that the vowels are pronounced the same in spanish and polish, just like in most languages besides english where these can change in the same word, like "Mercedes", which americans pronounce something like "Merseidys". Three different sounds for the same vowel in the same word, amazing :)

Anyway, now the commercial and advice hehe. I'm planning to move to Poland this September. I'm a web developer but I'd enjoy teaching spanish as an alternative. Do you know how difficult is to get a job as a spanish teacher in the Kraków area? What would I need to do if I've never taught before?

Thanks.
Pozdrawiam!
Miguel

!Hola ! (could not find an-upside-down exclamation mark used in spanish;-()

I was just wondering if You are still teaching Spanish since I would be seriously interested in taking some conversations classes in particular. I just started learning this great language 2 months ago and I would love to converse with a Native Speaker even though I only know the basics but I am fluent in English so we communicate easily ;-)
Please let me know if You are still available to teach and I would really appreciate your reply email to myloveforpilates@yahoo.com or You can call me on my cell :669118722
Thank you for your time I am looking forward to hearing back from you!

Warm greetings,

Klementyna

Hi,
Are you native Spanish who is right now in Wroclaw?
I work for a polish company which need to make a business movie in Spanish. We are looking for a person whose voice will be recorded to this commercial movie- that means, she will do dubbing.
So, if you know any of Spanish girl who can do it as soon as possible, let me know. Of course, we will pay for it.
cheers,
Marta, my email: uragano@wp.pl
