Abito in città Io abito in città, in un quartiere abbastanza elegante. Ho un appartamento con grandi finestre, ampio portone a l’autorimessa, ma purtroppo manca di giardino. Il palazzo in cui si trova il mio appartamento ha otto piani. Io vivo al sesto piano, ma per fortuna c’è l’ascensore. L’appartamento ha due camere, una cucina ed un bagno. L’appartamento ha un piccolo balcone.

Let's dance "Polonez" at "studniowka" party! Today I would like to familiarize you with the most famous Polish folk dance that is called "Polonez". You can watch very professional performance of this dance on a Polish film "Pan Tateusz" (The Lord Tadeus) directed by Andrzej Wajda. This film is based on the epic poem by the greatest Polish poet, writer and philosopher Adam Mickiewicz: http://youtu.be/Vq-VmzcJa3Y?t=56s We learn this dance at school. Polonez is also a widespread dance in carnival parties. Polonez is always a first dance at a "studniówka" ("graduate hundred-days party") party that occurs approximately 100 days before final exams of secondary school. I also danced this dance at my "studniowka". Here you can watch how this event looks like in some school in the south of Poland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNJyAC51MY4

Un día de mi vida ¡Hola a todos! Hoy voy a contaros de un día de mi vida. Escuchad: Yo me despierto normalmente a las siete menos diez a excepción de los fines de semana. Pero no me levanto inmediatamente, porque necesito un rato para estirarme en la cama. Cinco minuto más tarde estoy listo y me levanto, me lavo, me afeito y me peino, pero no desayuno en casa. A las siete y diez voy al trabajo. Por el camino al trabajo compro mi desayuno. Llego al trabajo a las ocho i trabajo hasta las cuatro. Cuando termino mi trabajo a las cuatro, regreso a casa, beso a mi esposa, después hablo con ella. Llega la hora de la comida. Todos comemos sopa, carne con patatas y frutas. Después de la comida cojo un libro y leo. Aprendo también idiomas extranjeros, porque me gustan mucho, sobre todo español y inglés. Después me levanto y voy a cama para dormir. Y esto es todo por ahora.

My new book I have just started reading a new book. It is a childen's novel under the title of "King Matt the First", originally written in Polish, then translated to many other languages, also to English. The author of this book is Janusz Korczak, Polish-Jewish child pedagogue and pediatrician. Janusz Korczak was born in 1878 roku in Warsaw. He worked many years as a director of an orphange. In 1942, during World War II, he was murdered with all his orphans by Germans in German Treblinka extermination camp. His book, King Matt the first, was writen originally for children, but is also very interesting for adults. The novel tells the story of a young king's adventures, whose life is full of unusual, exciting and dangerous experiences. But "King Matt the First" is not only an adventure childen's book, but first of all is an allegory of contemporary events in Poland before World War II. I have just finished the second chapter and tomorow I am going to go further.

¡Hola todos! ¡Hola todos! Me llamo Przemek, tengo 34 años. Soy de Polonia, vivo en las afueras de Varsovia. Soy informático, pero en mis ratos libres me gusta aprender idiomas extranjeras. Quiero aprender español, porque me gusta mucho.

What is better? I wonder what is better: to have very good command of one language or only good command of several languages? I am fluent in Russian and my English is on intermediate level. I spent my last holidays in Spain and I consider Spanish as beautiful language. I think that it would be fine to learn it, but at the same time I suppose that learning many languages can be to hard. I do not know what choose: to improve English and lost Spanish, or to learn both of them.

I can teach you Polish for free

Hello,

 

Polish is my mother tongue. I can teach you Polish language, grammar, pronuciation, vocabulary and a bit of Polish culture for free, just for fun. I have philological education and I speak English on intermediate level, so I am able not only to have a conversation with you but also to make explanation of Polish grammar.

 

If you are interested, let me know and write me private message.

 

I think one meeting once a week by Skype would be fine at the beginning. I have o lot of materials on Polish language in PDF format that I can send you by e-mail.
