Temat postu: Something in English
Well, well - eventually we've got something in English!! That's very nice. I hope that this will evolve into a popular part of our message board. Let's work on it together.
kisiol - 2009-07-13, 09:06

Nice... so what is the status of the new "english" idea? Has it already been opened? At last...
<a class= - 2009-07-13, 10:14

Well, despite the fact that you regard the English part of forumbrzeg.pl bad idea, I warmly invite you to visit. You may even use this mix of Polish, German, English of yours, however you must be aware of the fact that you will definately be laughed at by people who speak and write English much better than you.
szaniec - 2009-07-14, 17:03

but po cholere to - są korepetycje i portale językowe - a wątpię żęby zagraniczniaki tutaj wchodziły. :]
Grzech - 2009-07-14, 17:09

Well, as I said - I warmly invite you to visit, but please - stop using Polish here. I am sure that if you are smart, you won't do that again. So, we will have a chance to see if you are smart. See how forumbrzeg.pl in English works?;-)
torro - 2009-07-14, 21:48

are there going to be topics for us to discuss in this section of forumbrzeg.pl or is it just a place for certain people to ramble on about nothing only to show off? :?
Grzech - 2009-07-14, 23:01

Dear Bull:-), there will be topics, sections etc, but first we - yasiu and me - are going to meet up to think the idea over and come up with ideas. So, be a little patient and do not hesitate to visit and participate when everything's ready.
torro - 2009-07-15, 00:21

Dear Sin:), speak of the devil... :evil:
ok, I'll be patient and all...

Trifonas - 2009-07-15, 14:27

It's not a bad idea to have English part of a board. Even not in constant use it may be helpful for foreigner to ask for something.

By the way, what English will be in use on the board? Queen's English? I'm not really big fan of following all language rules, ie. I use "ain't", as a negative, "coz" instead of "because" and other short forms. What do You think?

szaniec, do what u want. It's a free country. Wanna go for expensive lessons then go, have fun, your money. Carying on a debates in other language may be fun, and good for language development, so shut your face, and stop spoiling every topic with your "anti-everything" stupid crap.

Since i'm back from UK (in 2007) I'm really missing English and my language skills are constantly getting worse and worse, while tho years ago I was fluent in spoken and written English. More than that - I was thinking in English (what I mean all my thoughts were so).

sikork - 2009-07-15, 14:46

hmmm ... The first topic is already in English, only the damage that the squabble instead of a specific topic
torro - 2009-07-15, 20:01

Spiros, can you see any queens or kings here?:) I guess, you can use whatever English you like, jargon,slang, dialect... could be Cockney, Scouse or pure Oxford as long as you don't offend anyone and as long as they "are not laughed at because their English is worse than yours" 'cause I don't think that's a place for that.(sorry, Grzech- nothing personal, but I don't really like the suggestion).
Am looking forward for some interesting ideas in this part of "forum" and for some topics we can discuss.

sikork - 2009-07-15, 20:20

can learn a little English, in short, my language is tragic
Grzech - 2009-07-16, 07:16
Temat postu: a short explanation
Torro, frankly speaking - I lost you. Thus I am sure you'll use this explanation - I said szaniec would be laughed at because of this: 'oh maj gat.... der ar a lot of poliglotus pipul. inglisz dział on de polisz forum łer lukają mejbi 4-5 osoby aj fing tat is to ass idea.' Is it clearer now? I will not laugh at people who make mistakes while typing English. I don't do so while teaching, I won't do so while directing this meesage board. I will laugh at people who criticise my 2-year-old idea of intriducing an English part of forumbrzeg.pl using this kind of - well, what to call it? - Ponglish. Purely because Ponglish is not English, and this part of our message board is intented for people who are not afraid to try their best to type English as well as possible.
By the way - who says I won't make a mistake while typing English? It is not highly likely, but at the same time not impossible, right?

torro - 2009-07-16, 13:50

I perfectly understand to whom and what you meant, but anyway, for me the bottom line is: you are a worse English speaker (writer)- you'll be laughed at. Everybody makes mistakes (minor, major-any) and, as you mentioned, you make them too (spelling ones, but anyway). Of course, szaniec and his "English" is another story, but still, he should be politely asked not to use it instead of being laughed at. If you are an English teacher, the idea of lauging at others because of their inabilities should never enter your head. Nevertheless, I do like the idea of this English version o "forum" and I hope it'll evolve into something worthwhile.
Grzech - 2009-07-16, 15:42

Dear Torro - I don't make spelling mistakes. Do you call 'intriduced' a spelling mistake? If so, you are wrong. It is a typing mistake, a totally different story. If you find one spelling mistake made by me, please let me know - I swear I will correct myself and learn the correct version of the word. But it must be a spelling error, not a typing one.
As regards the 'laughing at' part - it seems you didn't fully understand my point, but I believe that is just the way it is when people talk. I have already explained myself, I believe it should be enough. Just to make it clear - I won't laugh at the said user because his/her English is poor, but because of the way he/she tries to criticize my idea of introducing this English message board. If he/she wants to say he doesn't like it, he/she should bring his/her own idea to the table and try to work on it. If this idea is better than mine - let's introduce his/her one. Writing/typing English the way he/she did is just funny. The English message board (I mean - myself, but through the message board) would like to encourage such people to learn English in order to avoid such mistakes.
In the immediate future I am going to meet up with yasiu and decide on technical details. I hope I will have some associates (what about you, torro?) and we will take off as soon as possible.

torro - 2009-07-16, 16:17

As I mentioned above, I like the whole idea and am ready if needed.
and btw, I meant the word "definately", which is one of the most often misspelled forms of definitely and is not just a typing mistake;)

Grzech - 2009-07-17, 14:52

Unfortunately for me it is a spelling mistake and you are right. I am shocked, because until 10 minutes ago I was sure I could spell it correctly. I am also highly ashamed for it turned out it is possible for me to make a spelling mistake. Yesterday I said it was not highly likely:-). So you hit a jackpot with this, let's say, 3% high likehood. I sincerely thank you for correcting me. I am ashamed, but this bitter feeling turns out good - I will not make this mistake ever again. Frankly speaking, I don't remember if I have ever written this word in my life.
May I ask how come you know English well? I mean, what do you use it for?
And does it count that even educated English natives make the same error? Well, for me it is not a very good excuse...
Thanks again...

torro - 2009-07-17, 15:11

It is possible for everybody to make a mistake, let alone a spelling one, so don't be ashamed:)
I studied English philology. I used to be an English teacher. Now I'm in the UK and I use it for everything: reading books, watching films, helping my kids with their homework, talking to natives, and I'm my hubby's secretary :lol:

Necia - 2009-08-07, 21:57

Hi, I'm really happy, because now I can develop my English.
I hope so now i don't forget more words :)

conix - 2009-08-08, 12:02

Huhu.. English version?!
i dont understand why..
Of course maybe this is good idea, but i think english topics can't be popular beacuse we live in Poland, in Brzeg.
We dont have more peoples from other countries, who are here :D

(Sorry for my bad english.. i just try say something good xDD)

Temat postu: let's talk local business here!
Who says we must talk English affairs over? Let us talk about local stuff, each topic can be discussed in English, can't it? My two-year-old idea concerning English part of forumbrzeg.pl was not aimed at bringing English-speaking people down here to chat about new railway connections between Cromer and Land's End in southern England. I want to talk forumbrzeg.pl users into using English for everyday conversation about everyday problems in and around Brzeg.
I know it is not very diplomatic to admit that the idea to create English part of forumbrzeg.pl was on my mind as early as April, 2007. But, as they say where my grandfather came from - better late than never;-).

Temat postu: Foreigners in Brzeg

Temat postu: detailed introduction
Well, intrduce yourself in more detail, please. Then we might get you familiarized with Brzeg and stuff. And thanks for joining.
nadrifilozof - 2009-12-01, 19:05

Czesc!
Well indeed I could introduce myself in a proper manner.
So, I am Croat and now living with my wife, which is Polish, in Brzeg, getting familiar with the town, and also learning language. (I hope that all of you know where Croatia /Chorwacja/ is, so there's no need for further explanations.)

Among other things I'm interested in nature and culture, so if there is some interesting things going on on this field - it could be nice to visit it.

And for the end of this post maybe one or two questions.
What to do in Brzeg in this time of year?
Are you familiar if in Brzeg are more people from Croatia or even from former Jugoslawia?


Na razie!

Trifonas - 2009-12-22, 22:23

Yes he is. But he's father might not be, while he lives in Brzeg as well.
Grzech - 2009-12-23, 19:42

So, what nationality is he? Do you happen to know?
<a class= - 2009-12-23, 19:45

I meant the father, of course:-)
<a class= - 2009-12-23, 19:47

Croatian?
Mother Nature - the boss will tell me off for these three messages one under another:-)

nadrifilozof - 2010-01-21, 11:43

So, are there any Croatians here living in Brzeg so we could make some domestic atmosphere or how?
