ENG:

Hi !
My name is Dawid. I'm from Poland (Sosnowiec near Katowice).
I'm 16 years old.
I have a big problem with my English ; (
I teach first year English...
In my opinion my english is very weak.
One day I got the idea that I find English lingual forum where people learn Polish.
In this forum would like to learn English and I can help with the Polish language.
I thought of this topic to write posts in English and translated into Polish and vice versa. And I would like to find someone with whom I could talk Skyp'a English and Polish so that both parties drew from this study

PL:
Cześć.
Nazywam się Dawid. Pochodzę z Polski (mieszkam w Sosnowcu, blisko Katowic)
Mam 16 lat.
Mam duży problem z moim Angielskim.
Angielskiego uczę się pierwszy rok.
W mojej opinie mój angielski jest bardzo słaby.
Pewnego dnia wpadłem na pomysł że znajdę Angielskie forum gdzie ludzie uczą się Polskiego.
Na tym forum chciałbym się nauczyć Angielskiego, ja mogę pomóc z językiem Polskim.
Myślałem żeby w tym temacie pisać posty po angielsku i tłumaczyć na polski oraz na odwrót. Oraz chciałbym znaleźć osobę z którą mógłbym rozmawiać na Skyp'a po angielsku oraz po polsku tak aby obie strony czerpały z tego naukę.

Deivid !
I'm waiting for your reply! ; ))

"Your English is already very good....maybe you can find somebody around your age who wants to learn Polish on this site...." -My English really is not so good. I wrote the previous post with a dictionary in hand. "I'm old enough to be his dad but I need a passport to get to him ;) ;) He'll understand what I mean by that. Stary żart!" -You mean the passport in Silesia? ; )

You "teach" English, Deivid, or you're "learning" English? Almost same verb in Polish, so sometimes it can be confusing for you people.

DeividThreads: 1 Posts: 6 Joined: Dec 3, 10 ♂	Dec 4, 10, 17:50 #6
Yes. I made a mistake. I know already. Back to the topic is anyone willing to learn the language in the form of an e-mail or skype? On the basis of English-Polish / Polish-English

paulmaglione	Dec 4, 10, 17:51 #7
Hi Dawid, in fact your English is quite good already. You might want to try this site to get used to "real English" everyday expressions, slang, idioms, etc. via movies, music videos, and games. The name of the site is : English Attack! We will soon be in Polish as well!

Deivid: But I need your help. a little help: My real English is not so good, but I want to learn it very much. Polish learners seem to have problems with 'very' a common mistake is: I very like. try: I like very much. try this: http://www.better-english.com/grammar/very.htm

Are you Englishman or Polishman ?
(correct me if this is wrong)

Wroclaw:

a little help: My real English is not so good, but I want to learn it very much.

Polish learners seem to have problems with 'very'

a common mistake is: I very like.
try: I like very much.

Yes I have got a problem with this.
In school I don't have this material.

Lyzko	Dec 4, 10, 18:38 #12
I'm American-:)) "Polishman" makes perfect sense (an excellent guess on your part!), but is unfortunately not correct English. For that, we use "Pole" for both male and female. Curiously, "a pole" with a small "p", same pronunciation (sama wymowa) means "słup" in Polish.

Yes, you right.
I forgot that vocabulary, that is, varieties.
I wrote mail to you ; )

I do not understand what you mean wrote that "a pole the" means "słup" in Polish... (?)

Lyzko	Dec 4, 10, 19:12 #15
Yes, I know! I'll try to respond ASAP

wyraz "pole" ma dwa znaczenia. Pole pisane z dużej litery znaczy Polak, podczas gdy pole pisane z małej (rzeczownik pospolity) oznacza słup.
Np.
pole dancer - tancerka erotyczna (taka co tańczy na rurze - czyli "słupie" ;)

Tak samo sprawy się mają ze słowem "polish". Polish pisane z dużej litery oznacza "polski" (oni piszą przymiotniki oznaczające narodowość z dużej litery, inaczej niż u nas). Natomiast polish pisane z małej to czasownik i oznacza polerować. Znane w Polsce hasło "polish your English" to gra słów oznaczająca mniej więcej "podszlifuj swój angielski" ;)

Btw. is "polish your English" correct phrase or is it just a Polish-made slogan?

PS
Mod don't delete it until Deivid read it, please. I'm just trying to help him.

Sorry to say but your Polish is not the best.
it's angielski not Angielski.
it's w mojej opinii not W mojej opinie
it's polskiego not Polskiego
it's rozmawiać na Skyp'ie or Skajpie but not rozmawiać na Sky'pa
Możliwe że nauka jęz. angielskiego pomoże Ci również doskonaleniu jęz. polskiego i nie będziesz używał takich słownych potworków jak 'wziąść' lub w dniu dzisiejszym.
