Poland is over a thousand years Old and slapped in the middle of Europe, of course we have castles.

Poland did not declare independence from Russia. In 1918, Poland regained independence after 123 years of captivity. And it was in German, Austrian and Russian captivity. Poland is a country with a 1000-year history. The mentioned period is the restoration of Poland to the world map. Regaining independence and freedom again. As for Auschwitz, it was a camp for murdering Poles. Only towards the end of the camps' existence did they start murdering Jews in the Brzezinka camp. Poland has a lot of castles and manors, because we have been a republic only for the last few centuries. For most of the time we were a kingdom.

9:30 not only Jews. German plan was to destroy and exterminate also almost ~95% people of slavic nations. Their plan was to make room for German settlers (by exterminating Poles, Polish Jews, Balts, etc.) and settling them (German settlers) in a place that would then be created. The small remnant of poles that would then remain alive would serve as cheap slave labor. Thank God that this did not happen and we can live in a free country.

2:44 not eastern ;) Poland is Central Europe country. Even wikipedia confirm that :D

3:23 Polak isn’t offensive and it’s used in Polish language. The problem is with english „joke” spelling „Pollack” which is always used in offensive way to joke about Polish people

One thing this video forgets to mention is that the Holocaust targeted not only Jews. Slavic people were also considered a lower race, just one step above Jews. Polish people, in particular, were supposed to be exterminated by 80%, with the rest turned into slave labor for the Germans (as personally written by Hitler). Auschwitz was originally built for Poles, and for the first few years, Polish people constituted the vast majority of prisoners there before Jews started being brought in. Maybe it's a bit of selective, but if you're interested in some Polish war stories, you should definitely check out the Sabaton history videos for the songs that talk about Poland: - "Inmate 4859" - about a Polish soldier who voluntarily went to Auschwitz to infiltrate it from the inside. - "Uprising" - about the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, the biggest resistance effort against Nazi Germany in WWII and one of the most important events in recent Polish history. - "40:1" - Battle of Wizna - about one of the battles during the Nazi invasion in 1939. Some international propaganda has painted Poland as surrendering without a fight, which was completely untrue. This battle is a pretty symbolic counterpoint to that false narrative.

We are NOT Eastern European country, we’re CENTRAL EUROPEAN COUNTRY.

Slavic languages ​​will always be difficult for English speakers. Because they are completely different languages ​​and words are not similar at all

11:37 KGHM has the largest silver mine in the world and it's 2nd world producer of it, too bad they didn't mention it

If you want there is a 3 part series called "Animated History of Poland" which is fun to watch.

If you want to know more about that entire "Pollack" thing here is a video that will explain it and you will be surprised that at some point Polish and Black people were oppressed the same way in the US (this includes things like killings by the KuKluxKlan). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jd0vKaIpM6A.html Knowing this and the fact that Kościuszko (the architect of West Point and other forts) friend to Jefferson, a Polish national american independence war hero who left Jefferson all his money he earned during the war to free and give an education to the Black people (sadly the money was never used by Jefferson to do that), it makes it especially sad that during the BLM protests, some of the protesters destroyed a Kościuszko monument, historically the greatest ally Black people had in the US.

I really think you'd have fun learning Polish. That previous video with you trying your tongue at a crazy sentence was funny, but seriously that is not what you would start with learning it xD If you're ever in Poland, hit me up, I'd love to give you a fun tour :D

Being surprised that Poland has castles is like being surprised that USA has roads or that Finland has lakes

CENTRAL, not Eastern.

Finnish people was so amazing and brave against nazist!!! Respect from Poland ❤

You can react to The Complete History of Poland | Compilation. Its a great video

I recommend 12 Beautiful Castles to Visit in Poland 🇵🇱 | Amazing Places to Visit in Poland

Mate,, that video was full of errors, misunderstandings ans straight out lies. If you want to see few proper videos about Poland, check out guy called Steve Marsh. He does proper travel videos, and although he's Scottish, partner is Polish, and he's done at least a few videos about Poland, including Malbork castle. In terms of history, you may check Mark Feltons Productions channel. He does WWII videos mostly, and again, there's at least a few on his channel about Polish soldiers in WWII. Hiw far are you from Turku airport? Some dirt cheap flights to Poland from there. I used to be great basketball fan back in the days, when I still lived in Poland. Astoria Bydgoszcz was my club. Also, used to be bball referee as well.

Hey there! Thank you for your desire to learn more about world, and in this case Poland! On the note of our history, i would strongly recommend you to watch some of "Sabaton History" channel. Uprising, 40:1, Inmate 4859 (This one is special. Like, very special, the hero of the song was Polish soldier who have gone to Auschwitz on his own will and done some crazy things.) Those are songs about Poland by, you guess it, Sabaton, but their History channel brings alot of information about events of those songs. I've filled up reaction request forms with links.

I also watch Andrzej podróżnik vel KURY 🐓 😂

Writing/reading is much simpler than speaking it. It only looks intimidating, but once you know how to do it, it's easier than English.

POLAK word is use as a offensive in America or Canada. But POLAK exist in polish language it means POLAK - POLISH MAN. because we have a gender in our grama female and male. You will have POLAK - MALE and POLKA - FEMALE. if you speak polish word POLAK is fine and correct.

Pollack is an almost 1:1 transcription of Polak - literally the Polish word for a Polish person. If you want to offend me, try harder :)

8:00 As for the Auschwitz concentration camp, it is currently in Polish. However, in the years 1940 - 1945, when the Germans murdered people there, it was administratively located on the territory of the General Government. This is how the Germans called the Polish land they had seized. In those years, Poland did not exist as a state because it was torn between Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia according to the provisions of the Molotov-Ribentrop Pact.

Writing is IMO always the hardest part of learning a language. No wonder.

Central Europe !!!!

Polish phonetics is regular, english is not. In polish phonetics, if you learn a pattern, you will be able read aloud any text perfectly, even if you don't know the vocabulary. As for english, it is not possible to learn a pattern, because there is no regularity in it, i.e. there is no pattern. Polish is a phonetic language, so contrary to appearances it is very easy to learn to pronounce perfectly and write. What do I mean ? So in polish, each letter always means one same sound. In english you can pronounce one letter in several ways. For example the letter "e". In english you can pronounce it in many ways depending on a word. For example "bEd" and "English". You have there one same letter "e" but you pronounce it differently. But in polish it will always sound in one same way such as "e" in english "bed" and it never changes ! This pattern applies to all Polish sounds and letters - one letter, one sound. What's more, polish "sz" is the same as english "sh". And polish "cz" as english "ch". We have also also "rz" and "ż ", they both represent one same sound, like J" in french name "Jean". PS Maybe polish phonetics is easy if you know the pattern but the grammar is pain in the ass because we decline not only verbs but also nouns. That's why english is easy for us. In english you don't have to decline nouns, but only verbs. PS2 Thank you for making these videos. You are so cute. :D

8:25 check out "The History of Poland, I Guess"

Dude, you need like 150 euro for both way tickets and its like im guessing 3 hours flight? :D

Foe IGN

Check polish animation IPN

auschwitz birkenau camp was a german cump during war world 2 please remeber that. Not a polish one. Jewish; polish jewish, poles, romes and other natiines was a victim of german not a Auschwitz

The bit about 1918 - inaccurate oversimplification.

Not 250 thousand castles, but "just" 250. There are lots of castles in almost every European country. One has more than others, but there are still a lot around. Some are even still lived in by the family that originally had it built. Not sure that's the case in Poland though. I guess (but don't know) the communist past of the country made an end to that, if it didn't end earlier.

Isn't this video like 7 years old???

I don't want to hear about spelling from english speaker. With all do respect at least once you know Polish you read as written but english is an assembly random letters

OMG, some much errors in this video... such a shame..

I would like to apologize to you. Once, when writing a comment to you in English, I translated a Polish world too literally into English. When telling you about Andre Traveler, I wrote that Andre traveler visits the BLACKEST Polish villages. I used the word "black" because in Polish we can use the term "black" like you use in English "dark". By saying BLACKEST Polish villages I meant the places in the middle of nowhere, at the end of the world. Because it is usually so dark there, like if you went there at night, you would see nothing. After a while I got scared that it could have offended you. And I consider people with skin color like yours as the most beautiful in the world. For me, there is nothing more beautiful than dark/black skin tone! And a white blond says that! I would like emphasize that for me black skin color is sacred ! PS in Polish we can also describe such places at the end of the world in a very funny way. If I were to translate it very literally into English, I would write "where dogs bark with their asses". You can understand it like they are such a shitholes that it goes beyond the level of rationality/human reason and in some ironic way you may be able see miracles there or... just completely nothing. :D

This guy which is talking about Poland really need study everything again. His geography is terrible.

No nie! Przecież wiadomo że tylko muziny mają zamki. Zamki na piasku.
