More Polish

Don't tell me - this is getting beyond silly, but it's better than keeping all the food wrappings.

...goraca, ale nie wrzaca woda ...hot but not boiling water . . . 

Learning Polish

Today someone had left a shopping list on a scrap of paper in a trolley. Out of curiosity, I looked at it - it's in Polish.

Now to work out what they were buying. But the problem is that I can't quite decipher the writing, not even close enough to look the words up!

Maybe the fourth one down is ziemniacki - potatoes?  Otherwise, I'm all at sea.

Learning Polish

Begun as a challenge - not a Romance or Germanic language, and with grammatical complications.

After six months or so it lookes considerably less alien, and we managed to use a little during a nine day long trip to Warsaw and Krakow. 

As always, even supermarket bags provide endless opportunities to extend the vocab.

"Lovely to see you!"

"Shop at Carrefour.

I care about nature"

"We reduce energy consumption"

"For love of the environment/ in love with the environment".

A waitress wrote this on our bill. We dropped in for coffee and cake after visiting the museum in the Schindler factory.
