WHY DO POLISH PEOPLE THAT COME TO ENGLAND CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH?

2nd language? nah man, many people speak french, german and other languages.

Proffesional footballer's in England earn well over 10 times what they do in Poland.

Hope that helps.

Should the British go to Poland as the Government here are very selfish and don't care about the British ?

if you arrive in a english speaking nation you speak english!
i had to learn it was hard but im very good speaker
how would you feal if 3million english goto poland and dont learn polish?
you would be pretty pissed off i can assure u

correct of course mate, i just wish everybody who came to this country learned the language as well as you have, or at least be bothered to learn it in the first place :)

Of course you would expect somebody going to live in a foreign nation to be able to speak the language on some sort of small scale at least.

i try fitting in with english people,mostly i am un-sucessful but i give it a gud tri
but geezers i assure you,you must learn to fit in

If you try, then that's a good start.

Try and avoid slang like "geezers" though, unless you want to sound common :-)

Have you enrolled in a language course ?

i think youll find that he speaks much better english than hes letting on

bubba ive lived here since age 12 so im a very good speaker,however i never went to english school.
i speak dutch as a first language,i could happily write that in the forums if that was easier.

Fair enough.

Generally speaking, I would say that anyone wanting to live here on a longterm basis and is serious about the language side of things, should enrol on a course.

Relying on picking it up from others just means you'll learn how to swear and how to use words in the wrong context.

Have said that, I can think of quite a few English people who could benefit from some lessons too :-)

When I read the title of this thread...

"WHY DO POLISH PEOPLE THAT COME TO ENGLAND CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH?"

....I had to laugh. Maybe the author should learn how to pose the question correctly before he yells about his fellow countrymen's English.

Anyway to answer the question, it's not that they can't speak English. It's more they can't understand the different dialects. I'm told they speak English in Glasgow, but I can tell you from personal experience that it sounds like complete gibberish to natives of all English speaking nations. I'm a Geordie and I think that the same can be said for my fellow breathen.

yeah, in my dreams. they only teach us french and spanish

I didn't say that. Don't know why you're quoting my name.
