Gosiaa:
I find this thread very very interesting. I am amazed how many people like
to learn and speak po Polsku. If only it was like that when I came to Australia
over 15 years ago and all the polish/ozzies teenagers looked at me with contempt
because I couldn't speak English. ;-P and now look , some of those teens who didn't want to even say dziêkuje looking for tapes to learn how to pronounce
polish words ! Suddenly it is cool to be Polak / European ..... hmmmm
I'd love to learn Polish, my dad never sent me to Polish school cos he thought it wasn't necessary, but then I couldn't speak with my own Babscia! What makes it worse is that I lived in Warszawa as a kid/young teen and never really learned properly plus I have dual nationality with a Polish passport lol
My Polish side of the family, we all speak English anyway, it makes me feel that I have lost some of my "Polishness" and culture.
