You may want to watch a vid from an English gentleman, who moved to Poland for good, AND learned the language 😎 He's a very intelligent, warm, and inspiring kind of person. In the footage he speaks two languages, subtitles are available. Hope you'll enjoy it :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QLkkCbG0P5M.html
Polish need we learn English to be a somene Mine father Learned because he was a Colonel of Polish army who come To Nato in 1999 www.gov.pl/web/national-defence/poland-in-nato-20-years im see how he strugle to achived even the Polish troops around Uk in 1941 Have the same Problem we try to became Better
I teach English in Poland and I also have students who are pensioners. Their main reason to learn English is to keep their brains and memory running. They have problems with remembering but that is not a problem for them. They are asking a lot of questions😊 I am happy when they do that
Good idea. Some good writers were working in this project (for example famous Polish horror author Łukasz Orbitowski), famous director Tomasz Bagiński, famous actors and musicians. This movies are pure art.
When it was on Polish TV some six years ago I couldn't watch it without tears, so moving it was. Once I cried so much after watching this spot that my dad who's just entered the room asked what happened 😉 But it's nice that this spot sparked such enthusiastic reactions abroad. Allegro & Mr Mazurkiewicz (the actor playing that elderly man) did a wonderful job
My grandpa started to learn english when he retired. I think that he was 65 then (it was 1993 or 92). And the big reason was, that he bought Commodore 64 and he wanted to play games and most of them were in english 🙂. After a few years he was able to translate to polish almost everything that he read. His passion for computer games was also a great training for me, because i had to help him with the translations when he played. I miss my grandpa 🥲
@@CarriettaCarrieWhite Sorry, are you from the Netherlands? I noticed Dutch people often say "to learn" when they should say "to teach" ("I will learn you [how to do smth]" is my favourite example). I think it's because in Dutch "to learn" and "to teach" is the same word: "leren", so it'd be easy to forget that in English these are two completly defferent words, especially when one is so simillar to the Dutch one. (Well, in Polish it's also one word, but "uczyć" does not sound like any English word, so.)
W Polsce mieszka wielu Brytyjczyków mówiących płynnie po polsku. A wiesz, że ta reklama dostała Brązowego Lwa na festiwalu reklamowym Cannes Lions 2017 i wiele innych światowych nagród za tę reklamę. To był hit reklamowy na całym świecie. Reklamę obejrzało kilkadziesiąt milionów ludzi na całym świecie. Sama agencja reklamowa była w szoku, że to tak daleko poszło.
Może to śmieszne ale ja się cieszę, jak ktoś napisze dłuższy komentarz poprawnie po polsku i jeszcze użyje poprawnej formy biernika "tę reklamę", a nie "tą reklamę". To dzisiaj takie rzadkie.
@@movemelody1 Dziękuję ale ja jestem Polakiem ze starej szkoły. Co ja się wypracowań i dyktand napisałem w szkole to nawet nie chce mi się opowiadać. 😂
Actually, it's one of the best Polish commercials. Not many are even good enough. This was a real masterpiece when it came out. I'm wondering, you're not crying, I always do at the end. It's that sad and sweet. I'd love to watch more that meaningful commercials ☺️
Świetny odcinek❤ Moja koleżanka uczyła się dokładnie tak samo - by mogła porozumieć się z wnukami i może też z tamtą strona rodziny🧸 Uważam jednak, że dzieci powinny być wychowywane jako dwujezyczne, jakkolwiek mało popularny lub użyteczny byłby język któregoś z rodziców. 🎀
Can you tell the story how it all began with your fascination with Poland? What was the reason of your first visit and why was it something more than a single adventure? If you have already explained it in a previous film, please, give me a link. I wish you all the best. I appreciate your films very much. Don't give up learning Polish.
Nie oglądałem tego filmu allegro. Jest genialny. Rob powodzenia w nauce polskiego. Połamiesz sobie język nie raz i nie dwa. Ja też swój łamię, ucząć się angielskiego :)
@@Mario-xr3jo I have literally just had my 4th lesson. Got another 2 planned for next week and will be going most of the summer. A lovely lady is helping me as she teaches foreigners Polish :)
There's actually many more reasons to learn languages than just communicate with people. First of all it's a great excercise for four brain and improves memory. Then, you get priceless knowledge about languages in general. Yes, it is frustrating sometimes, especcialy if it's a difficult language and you know nothing about languages from that gropup. But the bigger challenge the more satisfaction when you see you progress or find a connection and things are getting logicly whole. I'm learning Finnish, which is even harder than Polish and... yes, it's a great feeling when I discover where certain things come from. Fingers crossed!
Aww, I remember this ad, it is so sweet, remiinds me of my grandfather, I had a strong bond with, he never learnt english, but still he had A chance to visit England when his great grandson was born, do this ad always remiinds me of him
My wife, who's chinese, is learning polish, and she was also posting those sticky notes everywhere, and it made me crazy....you open your fridge sticky notes.. you open your wardrobe- sticky notes.... plot twist...5 years later she can still barely say anything
I learned English playing games in English even when i could choose Polish language. Now i watch everything from English speaking countries in English and sometimes i switch on subtitles if i don't know some word. I have no problem with understanding almost everything in English but i got problem with speaking :)
I love this ad. I used it once in my English lesson when we had a discussion with the students about Christmas commercials and buying Christmas presents. Notes are a great idea, but after some time, they may not only annoy your wife but you as well 😉 And btw, we call a computer mouse "mysz" or "myszka komputerowa" (the diminutive form is also commonly used).
1. You should try "Legendy Polskie" (Polish Legends) from Allegro. They're on YT with English subs on Allegro channel. Those are kinda modern versions of old Polish legends, like Mr. Twardowski, or Dragon of Wawel, or baba jaga, and so on. My favourite video is Basilisk and that one I recommend. 2. That may sound silly but try talking to Yourself while doing daily stuff. Like "Idę do kuchni" (I'm going to kitchen), "Muszę posprzątać pokój" (I have to clean the room), "Gdzie jest mój kubek?" (Where's my cup/mug?), and so on.
Rob, there are some foreign youtubers that have become really fluent in Polish. One of the most popular is a Japanese guy, running channel "Ignacy z Japonii ". Now he got married to a Polish girl and lives in Poland , but his Polish was amazing before he even came here for the first time. Ignacy learned Polish by himself and believe me, he is so professional now so that he could teach Polish linguistics to Poles at Universities. So, there is a bar set high, but everything is possible 😆😁 And the second issue which I wanted to raise before- Ignacy started to teach Japanese to Poles and his channel has evolved from being just about Poland to spreading Japanese culture and history and I think it's great. So, when you made that film about Polish folk dance and mentioned the English folk dance I though it would be a good idea if you added some info about English history and culture for example about English folk dances . I would love to see some videos with your comparisons of Polish and English food, dances, sports, approach to work, humour etc. We all would learn "both ways" , just as Ignacy does.
@@dorotabarbowska2184 But people who read our conversation at some later time may be surprised why I correct your spelling if there aren't any spelling mistakes in your (corrected) posts... And your vision can improve if you pay attention to what you're reading and writing...
@@dorotabarbowska2184 Well, it only takes to say "thank you" to appreciate someone's help without making corrections. Other people won't understand my remarks about incorrect spelling, etc. if they see everything in others' comments is perfect.
I went to South Downs College to learn English.I loved it so much .I started when I was 44 and I proud of it .I finished Level 2and I think the age doesn’t metres when you want to achieve you can.Good luck Rob you can do it 👍
I've seen this ad like 100 times and it still makes me emotional and put tears in my eyes 🥹 I really like your videos, I'm leaving a sub 😉 Have a lovely day!
I have been binging on you videos lately! great stuff.:) As far as learning Polish words, I find mind maps written on A4 papers with colors, drawings etc. the best for learning vocabulary (I am now learning Turkish from scratch and learnt English with them in high school)-I remember those English mind maps years later! I usually blue tac them on my closet, or next to my monitor or wherever you look at often. Hope that helps, greeting from Poland, have fun in Australia:D
I taught my son to spell at an early age using labels for everything in the house. My bf's husband asked if I was going senile and needed the notes to remember what things were called. My friend (English school teacher) and myself just looked blankly at him and burst out laughing.
When this add came out I just had my baby here in UK ( British hubby) and I couldnt go and just see my family and due to emergency with my brother daughter my oarents were unabke to visit me. I watch that and I cried.
HI Rób I would recommend some polish comedies like ......Czterdziestolatek czyli rodzina w domu...Nie lube poniedziałku...Poszukiwany poszukiwana ... !!!!!! ...
Yup, the punch-line got me teared up. Loved your introduction "Cześć chłopaki" (Hi, boys). I know you wanted to say "Hi guys"... Off the top of my head, I can't think of the more correct word. Anyways, loved the video.
@@RobReacts1 You could say "Cześć, ludziska!" - "Hi, folks!" instead. Or "Witam, moi drodzy" - "Hello, my dears". Good luck in learning Polish seriously - seriously. ;)
Hi Rob, Perhaps you could get in touch with Patrick Nay who moved to Poland a few years ago (I think he lives in Warsaw). He’s got many videos about Poland on YT and he can speak Polish quite well (yes it’s possible). Good luck in your linguistic journey- you can do it.
Super❤ Robert I encourage you to write down the first page in the form of situational sentences. You will learn the meaning of contextual words and future usage.
Hi, I really like watching your videos and thank you for your interest in Poland. I'm sure you'll be able to learn Polish because you have a talent for it. If it makes you feel any better, I'm learning English now and it's not that easy either :) Warm greetings from Wrocław!
I actually know a person who is related to this "grandpa" person. He's her uncle. And she's the one that have shown me this ad. I think it's very lovely and heatwarming..
Ale twoja dusza jest mocno związana z Polską, Robert, to jest piękne. Ja kiedy widzę szkockie budynki,ulice,architekturę i ten deszczowy klimat, po prostu dostaję gęsiej skórki i strasznie się wzruszam. Wieczorami patrzę na szkockie ulice, budynki na Yt... i to jest uczucie nie z tego świata, jestem pewna, że kiedyś żyłam w Szkocji. I ze wszystkich wcieleń czuję, że te w Szkocji było dla mnie najistotniejsze...miłej nocy...
O! I can teach you Polish. I love learning languages and how others learn languages. I'm actually learning English and I live in England. And your videos can help me ;)
Yeah. Poster notes definitely willl help. I did use that tip when I was learning English and Norwegian. You will be familiar with many words much quicker. And I love that commercial BTW :)
You can try saying "Subskrybujcie i lajkujcie". A lot of Polish youtubers borrow English 'Like' and Polonize it into 'Lajkuj'. Remember though: "Ty lajkuj", "wy lajkujcie", "on, ona, oni lajkują" because in Polish nothing can be simple 😂
I'm learning Dutch currently and although knownig English quite well and some German helps a lot, they use these throat sounds which are impossible to repreat for me without hurting my throat. So I feel for you knowing you need to struggle with all those ć, ź, szcz, czcz etc.
Hello Rob😅 .am Eva polish living in Peterborough near London. Just wanna say that was promotion of allegro similar site to ebay. Point of vid is :most important above all is family and unreplaceble....u cant buy it for money .but all other needed stuff (also to connect with family) u will buy in allegro....just wanted to explain u point of vid. And they recorded more as i can see them attached...
It is sad that son did not teach his child polish language. Having bilingual children is such big opportunity. I know it is just advertising but I can't understand people who don't use their native language in home and don't even try to teach their children heritage and culture of mother land.
4:46 It's even funnier because "Pyjamas" in Polish is Piżama/Pidżama. So he overcorrect something that doesn't even need to be corrected since Polish has the same word.
After mastering the very basics I advise you to watch some fairy tales in polish - Peppa, Ben & Holly, Muminki, Pszczółka Maja or whatever entertained you when you were a kid. That will be simple yet informative and entertaining in a way. Also music could work for you. It does mirackles for me. I've noticed that some of hungarian songs that I like are imprinting themselves in my head for ever. It's magic 😊
@@swetoniuszkorda5737Ha, ha, ha, I couldn't stop laughing every time someone make this mistake. There is massive difference between polish and Polish. A polish remover jokes are one of my favourite. 😂
I will tell you the secrets of how to speak Polish perfectly in one month. You need to get a job in some factory where most of the workers are Polish. After a month, you'll forget what English sounds like. The first two years I came to England, I was in such a Polish town that even people in the shops looked at me strangely when I tried to speak English.
Does factory labour speak so much? They're mainly manual workers, aren't they? And they usually are not very educated to speak good quality English (or any other language). Although they may be perfect workers.
