I would like to be this guy
Answering to the question of the month, i would like to lean on my own experience. I moved to Poland three years ago without knowing the language. The immigration was so spontaneous, that I didn't even think how i'm going to study here. When you're 17 years old you didn't think about that kind of things, you have a head full of the dreams and plans with having no idea how to make it real. I am persuaded that if you want to achieve a success in the country with no support and family, you are obliged to learn the language as well as you can. That will help you to feel more self-assured, that will bring you a power when you're upset and lonely. That will help for sure, because thanks to that foreign language you could give yourself a break and find new friends in the bar for example. However, I would like to underline that not everyone has a gift, not everyone can learn a new language really well and fast and to speak it fluently with no accent. For those people the joy of making new friends or of reading a book in this language can postpone.
To sum up, if you are planning to go somewhere, where you would like to spend your long and happy life, it'll necessary to learn the basics, and then to go to this place and develop your language skills in the country of you dream.
P.S. If you're reach, you don't have to worry about anything, you can do whatever you want, just like this guy.. ;)
I'm sure your story is more inspiring than his, believe me :) And, as we can see, being rich can be a curse to people who don't know how to use their money wisely.
OdpowiedzUsuńI agree with AgataL. Don't worry, just ask when you don't understand :). Some people can't speak in their native language, because they don't want, so they should be shamed:) Not you :). And if someone is so hard learning to not have an accent in foreign language, he can lost his native accent. So for me, it's better to speak with a little bad accent in foreign language.:)
OdpowiedzUsuńit's very impressive how well you speak polish after just three years, I know that you were" soaking" this language when you were studying here and meeting people, but still I think it's amazing ;)
