My question is why should anyone in the U.K. have to learn Polish?

I'm learning Polish because i want to not because i have to. We have Polish children at school now and i thought it would be nice to have a go seeing as they are having to learn English.

i merely pointed out Something that was stated on the radio that i had heard! plus it was on bbc radio 2!

i was not stating that i think 80% of the uk population is polish ok

You do, as I would like to quote what you have written above, 'Anyone says that everyone in the UK should learn Polish'.


I think what he meant here was that:
"No one says that everyone in the UK should learn Polish"

I'm thinking of the word "nikt" here in polish which can be translated as "anyone" or "no one" depending on the context.



Hmm, and I suspect that that 80% of telefonitika's might possibly be 8%...?

Has anyone even began to contemplate that perhaps, just mabye, the radio report was a JOKE? It aggrevates a lot of people that the UK is tyring to accomodate Polish people, and so they exaggerate and joke about the number of polish people actually living here. Like, for instance, I work in a supermarket. They now have a whole section for polish food. The amount of sarky comments Ive heard about this has been pretty shocking. Like, "English food will be a minority section soon."

Noone has to learn anything they don't want to. But learning a new language is pretty cool.

Yes, in fact we have a section in our local Tesco store here in Guildford. Perhaps you also work for the same supermarket? I expect in fact that Telefonitika has a limited understanding of English and did not understand what was being said. Talking about the Polish Language-you do not even need Skype, there are many excellent books on the market, one of them was B. Mazur, Colloquial Polish series though it has been rewritten since my copy came out in the early 1980's. I have a copy and read the book before taking G.C.S.E. Polish in London and got an A so it can be done. I might go to Prague next so will learn Czech too. These languages are not very difficult to learn.

I have never been a teacher. I said that in the year 2000 I completed a course in teaching English to speakers of other languages called TESOL with the board Trinity College, London. I have a certificate but have never taught. I tak, jestem bardzo bardzo przystojny i inteligentny.

its my id on the net and happened to be my tag from college when i studied music technology (dj-ing side)
but how my name "telefonitika" made me seem polish is blaffling but oh well.

your bad spelling and English grammar


i feel offended slightly considering i got a grade C in english and a B in the coursework but the odd spelling/grammar mistake is only human after all i AINT perfect.

There is nothing posh or arrogant about a Tesol certificate-it is the most basic level of teaching qualification that exists and I have never worked in this field of work and I never started this discussion in the first place though I can not remember who it was. End of this discussion please.

just as tele was explaining how she "HEARD" and you took it to levels of
making her feel badly by correcting her grammer and then also bringing in the
"you must be Polish" to top the cake..

its easy to make a mistake, thats all you had to say. just try to be less degrading
next time, because behind all these computers, are real humans... that you dont
need a cert for.. "to be human that is".

I want to write/read/speak fluent Polish!

If You'd like to speak it fluent... move to Poland for a couple of months.

I waas not spreading************before that. In fact, it was Telefonitika who wrote...'apparently 80% of the U.K. population is Polish anyway it was on a radio station news bulletin'. How can 80% of the U.K. population be Polish?

That's BS, You messed it all up. It's true there's many poles in the UK, more than 1M in London itself. But 80% of the UK, that's complete nonsense.
