I've been in Poland since 1995. In that time I have met a lot of foreigners, probably more than you have met in your three months here, but I can count on the fingers of one badly damaged hand the number of expats I've met who are fluent in Polish (meaning would pass the Polish version of CPE, if such a thing existed).


i don't have the energy to explain, again, the point I was trying to make. it is evident that a select few here are only reading what they want to read. i can't explain it any better than I already have.

one more time: Polish is far more difficult than just about any other language, especially any country's language west of Poland within Europe.

the effects of that fact are evident. it's not because us expats are all lazy and arrogant, that we think everyone should learn our language. it's because Polish is flat out super difficult.

Actually, I think everyone understands your point, we just don't agree.
