Hi there, just want to put my name in the hat as another interested in a Polish team for
2014. What exactly is required to get a team going? As it seems like there are a few of us. Certainly not as many as some of the more popular languages, but I'm trying to understand why that's a problem? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Duan,
Thanks for dropping by, it's great that you're learning Polish. Basically, this Polish Team ('Żubr') is disbanding at the end of the year. Even if someone is prepared to lead it, I think the momentum has shifted and TAC 2014 is upon us. I won't be participating in TAC, and there are only 2 remaining active members left. However, all is not lost since these members are in a proposed Polish-Ukrainian Team which is gaining quite a bit of interest. So my advice is to make yourself known to the guys in this new team, and tell them you'd like to join as a Polish learner. I should stress that nothing is finalised quite yet. To start your own team, make your proposals here (I noticed that you have already expressed your interest here). From your proposals you could devise an alternative Polish(-only) team and create it's home page. But this would be a potential rival to what is already taking shape, and although you're free to try it, it's not something I'd recommend. So in summary: If you strongly want to make a team, you can. But as a Polish-Ukrainian team is gaining momentum, my advice would be to join that instead. Edited by Mooby on 20 December 2013 at 8:29pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Mooby,
Thanks for the explanation. I searched for a thread regarding this before I posted my original message and I guess I must not have noticed it. Fair enough, I will head over to the Polish/Ukrainian thread and let my interest be known :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's great Duan!
There are some very experienced people on the Polish/Ukrainian team so you'll get loads of help and inspiration. All the best for your Polish studies next year! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Since this has been posted, I can say that I've accomplished these modest goals in that I did finish "Polish in 4 Weeks" in November and got back into "Kiedyś wrócisz tu... Gdzie nadwislanski brzeg". See here for my plans for 2014. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Not sure if you guys are interested in collocations, but in case you are, there is an excellent online resource available: the Narodowy Korpus Języka Polskiego.
For instance, a search for "książka" gives the following collocations: książka adresowa książka kucharska najnowsza książka książka ukazała tania książka książka zawiera ulubiona książka książka o ... and many more A search for "granica" gives: górna granica granica biegnie granica skręca dolna granica granica między wschodnia granica ... and many more The results are sorted by significance. If you click on one of the results, you get additional information and examples, for instance clicking on "granica między" gives granica między dobrem a złem granica między sztuką a rzeczywistością granica między życiem a śmiercią jest bardzo cienka Zdaniem wójta Mikulicza granica między gminą Kunice a Legnicą powinna przebiegać wzdłuż potoku Wierzbiak Granica między Tadżykistanem i Afganistanem ciągnie się przez 1,5 tys. km, wzdłuż rzek Piandż i Amu-daria ... and so on. For each of those examples, the full paragraph the expression is coming from is availabe. Note the use of "a" versus "i". There's also Korpus Języka Polskiego Wydawnictwa Naukowego PWN which shows occurrences for all forms of a given search term (declensions, conjugations), but doesn't seem to have the powerful statistics provided by NJKP. I personally like to play around with corpora, and in particular collocations, when I struggle with a particular word for one reason or the other. Looking at a few examples, and maybe adding them to Anki, can do wonders. Looking up, or checking, collocations is also useful when writing essays. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||
