I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I would love to introduce you to polish language and culture. I will try to write in both polish and english, but please forgive me my mistakes :). If anyone is interested please write here, and I will try to write regularly about Poland and it's culture. Greetings from Poland!

Nie wiem czy ktoś byłby zainteresowany, ale chciałbym przybliżyć wam język i kulturę Polski. Będę starał się pisać po polsku i angielsku, ale wybaczcie proszę moje błędy :). Jeśli ktoś jest zainteresowany niech tu pisze, a ja postaram się pisać regularnie o Polsce i jej kulturze. Pozdrowienia z Polski!

Maciek

Polish culture
Hi. I'm still too busy with the languages I'm currently learning but some basics in Polish would be great. I'd be most interested in learning about Polish culture. I have known a few Polish guys from my Ju-juitsu classes and they all seem like very good fighters but that's all I really know. Where shall we start? How about teaching us a little about Polish drinking culture, always a fun topic?

well, okay, that's true...
well, okay, that's true... BUT there are still some Poles who are teetotallers - like me ;p
btw some of the things Poles do drink are really yucky - like vodka or even worse stuff... isn't that weird? o.O xD
okay, the topic isn't my favourite so I'll just shut up ;p

Ok, time for a new topic I think
How about Polish authors? Sorry to say but I know no Polish authors. Are there any you would particularly recommend? It would be good if you know that they are translated as well.

Polish Authors

It depends on what you like.

From science-fiction and fantasy I can recommend you Stanisław Lem ( www.lem.pl <also english translation) and Andrzej Sapkowski ( his book "Ostatnie Życzenie" has just been translated, english title is "The Last Wish" ).

If you like more classical literature try: Adam Mickiewicz, Wisława Szymborska, Stefan Żeromski, Juliusz Słowacki, and many more... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_literature here you can read more about it. Have fun :)

Hey, I'm up for learning

Hey, I'm up for learning Polish.  I don't know much, save the family structure, and a understanding of most of the Grammar.

Ciao,

Polish - Russian language similarities
I have to say that I have never learned russian language, but as far as I know it, those two language are similar at least in some basic rules. They belong to the same family of languages so the cases and some grammar rules are similar, i think. Also some basic words sounds similar for example the word "hand" and numbers. From my experience, when I was in Russia for a few days the shopping was not a problem to me althought i did not know much russian language. so that is my point of view...but maby others have different opinion (?)

polish poerty

if we speak about polish literature we cant missing  about Edward Stachura.In my opinion in one of the biggest polish poet,writter and singer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Stachura here you can find information about him. http://www.poezja.org/index.php?akcja=wierszeznanych&kto=Stachura&ak=pokaz - in this page you can read his poerty but is on polish language unfortunately. if we speak about polish poets we cant also missing Tetmajera, Ziemianina,Karola Wojtyły,and other polish poet. If you interested this you can find there in this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Polish_language_poets. 

sorry about my mystakes :))
