I often use this dictionary, EPPE, because you can download it on your computer (and I don't have the net at home so
it's quite useful for me). http://www.hipercom.pl/en/eppe.html 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji Świąt Bożego Narodzenia.
Życzę sukcesów w nauce języka polskiego. Merry Christmas to all members of Polish team. I wish you never-ceasing motivation to explore new linguistic territories. May all your plans succeed. Gosia I spent sometime today prepearing a typical Polish (originally Ukrainian) Christmas dish called Uszka (I thought you might find it interesting) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

OOOOOO Uszka looks good! We had plenty of pierogi way back when my Polish grandmum made us meals, but she was also a terrible cook, so I'm sure that I never had a proper introduction to authentic ethnic recipes. I'll have to try a few as part of my Polish learning.
I'll update our introductory post soon with a list of participants and our team title. If anyone objects to being a European bison, speak now! They are truly impressive animals. I am an absolute beginner with this language - haven't started yet! - so I'm glad to have teammates and a few native Polish speakers here to help along the way! I'm very interested to find out about any family members still in Poland. I know the whole family didn't emigrate and I'm sure I have some distant, living relatives there. I hope to visit the country one day, too. My Polish grandparents never had much to say about their European roots, but I'm convinced that if the family did not spontaneously generate somewhere in Poland about a hundred years ago, there's some geneological evidence out there. So this is a personal investigaton, too: I must find my people! I'm also looking for the Hurra books, but I can't find them online for less than $50.00, which would normally not be a problem, but this is the Christmas of Dire Necessity and I won't be able to afford to purchase many learning materials, at least not at first. If my full-time employment dreams soon come true, and there a chance of that, at least, I'm going on a language material binge as soon as I can! Until then, we have excellent references here in this thread and in Chung's Polish language summary. After I can gather some learning sources together I'll start my own TAC Polish log,and my fellow bison can do the same. I'm not going to be able to begin it before the New Year starts. I think we have a great team here and I'm honored to work with all of you! More members are always welcome, too. Because,who would NOT want to be an shaggy articulate bison? And advanced level learners, native Polish speakers and/or residents of Poland, you too are welcome. I hope that you continue to visit us - we need you! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Dziękuję bardzo Gosiak! I zgadzam się z Mooby, uszka wgląda przepyszna! (co jest czasnowik dla 'to sound'?) I
actually just got back from our local Polish deli and the two ladies there were speaking Polish and laughing about, so lovely! Got some really nice Polish sausages and cakes for christmas, yuumm.. Meramarina! I too am on a bit of a journey to find out more about my family's Polish heritage and connect with that part of our history, and will hopefully be visiting some family who are still living over there sometime in the next year or 2. So will definitely need to get my Polish up to scratch! Also if you don't mind working on your languages from a computer, I've got some decent Polish grammar/vocab/other things pdf's which I could send your way. That goes for anyone else on the team also. May you all have a great Christmas and New Years, and go Team Żubr in the new year! Bożego Narodzenia! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

wyglądać (na) (perf. wyjrzeć) = "to appear [insert adverb/adjective]" brzmieć = "to sound" When asking for a translation, one commonly begins with "Jak się mówi po polsku...?" (e.g. Jak się mówi po polsku "to sound"?). I would more likely use (te) uszka wyglądają przepysznie ((those) uszka look delicious) rather than ((te) uszka brzmią przepysznie. ((those) uszka sound delicious) although I could imagine the latter being used if I were referring to uszka mentioned just previously (e.g. "Come over to our place for lunch. We'll have some uszka!" - "Hmmm, (those) uszka sound delicious.") Wesołych Šwiąt Bożego Narodzenia! (Often shortened to Wesołych Šwiąt!; I've never heard anyone use Bożego Narodzenia! probably because the first retains explicitly the kind wish (it literally means "[I wish] of Happy Holidays!") whereas the latter on its own means "[I wish] of God's Birth!"). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Dobra dobra, dziękuję Chung. I guess I missed the first part of what my dziadek (opa) said, or perhaps it's simply a
much older shortened version way of saying Merry Christmas. In either case, Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia to everyone! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Regarding the Hurra books : I don't want to make any promotion for websites or anything, but this is where I
decided to buy the series. For the level one books, for instance, it costs around 110 zlotys, which is 30 US dollars (plus shipping of course). The books needed for each level are Podrecznik studenta and Zeszyt studenta. Podrecznik nauczyciela is for the teacher so you don't really need it. keywords=hurra&x=0&y=0">www.poltax.waw.pl As for my Christmas, since my mom is polish I ate a lot of polish food yesterday, notably some uszki in barszcz czerwony and pierogis (which I made with her), some fish roulade rolada z ryby doré fish (don't know its polish or English name), some czwikła (horseradish and beets) and some delicious sernik with poppy seeds (sernik z makiem) Edited by Homogenik on 25 December 2011 at 4:33pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
