Hi, hoping to meet and make friends with a guy who has some English, Does a guy mean male or the opposite sex?

Does a guy mean male or the opposite sex? A guy is a male.

=catsoldier]A guy is a male. So why our British Literature lecturer, Prof. Higgins, used to address us as: Guys, today I am going to tell you ........ etc. And there were more females in the class than males? At the Jagiellonian University in Krakow? In 1980s?

group of animals.Am I wrong? I am not sure about that one but I have never called animals guys.

I am not sure about that one but I have never called animals guys. I remember my American gf pointing at the fish tank and saying "Hey,look at these guys!"(there were some weird looking fish in the tank).

sorry that last bit was meant to be a quote ...lol a question - how much is 190 euro in polish currency and is it enough to live on in Poland and travel around on for a few months?

I am in Ireland. I can't go because I have to work, such is life, :-(

how much is 190 euro in polish currency and is it enough to live on in Poland and travel around on for a few months?

It depends on the exchange rate, google says 1 Euro = 4.16708836 Polish zloty today.

It isn't enough to live on. The cost of living in Poland isn't very cheap. You will need a job in Poland to stay for a few months.

I think she meant 1900 euro not 190.I don't think there is a place in this world where one can survive few months on 190 euro.Am I wrong?!

catsoldierThreads: 90 Posts: 698 Joined: Sep 27, 09 ♂	Edited by: catsoldier Aug 28, 11, 21:10 #21
Am I wrong?! I don't know if there is anywhere you can live for a few months with this much money, maybe India? Definitely not Poland though.

lol i meant 190 a week... am not going until next year, going to Norway in March first, thanks Catsoldier those sites are very helpful , already planning journey it's sooo exciting...but scary not having a word of Polish!

catsoldierThreads: 90 Posts: 698 Joined: Sep 27, 09 ♂	Aug 28, 11, 23:46 #23
...but scary not having a word of Polish! Will you learn some Polish?

♀

Will you learn some Polish?

What ???!!! Learn the most difficult language in the world? I think not - I know only 'Czest' (sp?) and Rossomak which a Polish friend calls his car (beast?) am on Youtube picking up a few phrases like 'where is the train station' and 'how much for a bed' etc lol ....phew it's tough going! It only deepens my admiration for emigrants who come here with little or no English and set up a new life for themselves...

For Poland you need to learn only tak and jesczce.

catsoldierThreads: 90 Posts: 698 Joined: Sep 27, 09 ♂	Aug 29, 11, 23:20 #26
am on Youtube picking up a few phrases Try your local library, they may have a few booklets and CDs, I have seen many languages to learn including Polish in the library.

fanoreThreads: 1 Posts: 9 Joined: Aug 27, 11 ♀	Aug 31, 11, 19:58 #27
Thanks Catsoldier for your considered help on this matter re library but to be honest the only way to learn a language is through conversation - for me anyway :-) unless of course one is considering a degree in said language then of course the library would be the way to go ....

catsoldierThreads: 90 Posts: 698 Joined: Sep 27, 09 ♂	Aug 31, 11, 22:46 #28
fanore Your welcome. It was more a beginner/tourist CD/audio book with a booklet. How to meet and greet etc. Not degree stuff.

fanoreThreads: 1 Posts: 9 Joined: Aug 27, 11 ♀	Sep 1, 11, 17:25 #29
Not degree stuff. Exactly my point - conversational skills are all I need...
