English speaking? Needed in Poland?

My bf is polish but is trying to learn English, but it's very hard. We can communicate in other ways. The question is does he need to learn it? He has lived here 8 years so I'm wondering if it's necessary

Mess with his mind! Find a Swedish course and convince him that it's English and then follow around as he tries to use his new language skills. Film it and put it up on youtube.

nahh..communication between humans is overrated anyway.

Lol! I'm just thinking if he's lived here this long and managed with only polish then why he needs to worry himself?

yea...fok the system.no need to worry.look at dogs.they dont speak english and they are always happy.

He lives in a polish area and so he's never needed to yet. But I'm wondering if I should learn polish instead I mean we try signs and gesture and pointing

Learn Czech instead and tell him it's your version of Polish. Make him work for your (dubious) physical favors...

That would be mean. And it only became apparent that he didn't know English once we became intimate

what if he learn english and then you find out all he talks is rubbish? too risky.better stick to signs and pointing

Rubbish as in?

wonder what sign he used to get you to bed

Kissing then kneeling.. Etc

So.... you sleep with people before you speak with them? There's a work in Polish for that and it rhyms with eefka...

is that all!!!!!????? all 40 years of my life and nobody has told me that!!!! ooo man!!! all those things i had been doing and spending ll this money and stuff.fok that is unfair

Pointing where?

To body parts

marchewka

ok.let me go and try.wish me luck

I'm sure she could put a marchewka to use. But maybe let's say "rhymes with piwka"....

oliwka... i guess,you could try to put it in but less fun than with marchewka

I think you're being mean about my man

..or how about a Polish tongue-twister five times fastLOL

Recently, I applied to teach remedial English at the local Polish Consulate General in Manhattan. Apparently, they have some call and when I arrived (speaking completely in Polish), I requested to speak with someone in charge who might put me in touch with the person hiring English aka private Polish-speaking ESL tutors to instruct their consular staff.

I was introduced to the "head teacher" for English, a young Polish woman of approximately thirty or so, and was immediately bowled over by her rather decided Polish accent as well as occasionally halting grammar! After the interview in Polish and English, I thanked her and left.

Outside the office with the door closed, I remarked to the secretary that the Consulate should be eager for an native English speaker. "Oh, our staff wouldn't even notice the difference.", was her reply.

I ended up getting the job.
:-)

So what's everybody's view on whether he should learn English or not?

He should most definitely learn English, but his partner should also try to learn some Polish:-)

I know some but it's mainly rude functional stuff

I have a question about speaking English in Poland. I'm interested in how you guys talk, Dreamergirl?

A mix of pointing, signs and broken English and my limited polish lol

Maybe you guys should sit side by side and read books on each other's languages. He reads a book on English, you read Polish. Bonding.

We bond in many other ways lol

Ahem, let's keep it clean, kids! This is a family showLOL

I'm trying to lol i keep getting told off if I'm naughty
