I live here already for 6 months and it always looked like nobody speaks English. However, as you can see I was wrong. So many languages are spoken in Poland, which is excellent. Thank you guys for watching!

Zachwatowicz, the man on the monument, responsible for rebuilding Warsaw after the war. could speak 3 languages: Polish, Russian and German.
Perhaps he also knew some French? He was a member of the Académie d'architecture in Paris (since 1967) and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), which also has headquarters in Paris. Also knowing French was quite popular among educated people of his generation.
I think it's common to know 2-3 languages if your mother tongue doesn't really get you places in the world. Nowadays you have limited employment options if you don't learn at least one more globally used language on top of your main one.
A lot of Eastern Europeans speak at least two languages. A lot of British, American, Australians only speak one language. Native English speakers sometimes don't have the motivation to learn another language because a lot of people in the world know a lot of English or at least some English.
Its normal for eastern europeans to speak 2-3 languages fluently tho, especially for youngsters
Poland is not eastern.

I am slovak from the northeastern Slovakia, close to polish border. Born Czechoslovakia, proximity and very common exposure po poles and polish language makes me naturally trilingual person)) As a slavic person coming the center of the slavic speaking region, I can easy get serbian, croationa, some ukrainian and russian (as I had to learn it at school at 80s...). Even without learning I am very multitasking in languages)))))
Z tym fluently to bym się tak nie rozpędzał.
Quite unexpected that in this video there were several immigrants living in Poland who didn't mentioned polish among the languages they can.... 🤔🤔🤔
It is not easy to learn Polish, so often they don't esp. if they're not from a Slavic country. And when they are Ukrainian it's not so difficult to communicate without learning the language.
@@sylwiatime So do you mean that an immigrant who speak fluent Polish is an exception in Poland? just because the Polish language is internationally significantly more difficult to learn than German, French, etc.? It's just so true that the Polish language can't be compared to German or French, unfortunately. Completely different language than these 2 ones. It’s sad to hear that more than a half of the immigrants living in Poland do not know the language at all. 😥😥😥 Here in Sweden almost all immigrants have good swedish skills and as a swede I’m very glad about that… 😎👍👍👌
@@VolvoMarkku It depends on many things. For one, I think that people native to some languages have it easier to learn Polish than others. Slavic languages are an obvious example but I also know some Arabic speakers that managed Polish quite well. To be fair, there are people from Western Europe who speak Polish, as well as people from South-Eastern Asia, but I also know some that have been living in Poland for 20 years and still can't speak it, not even on a basic level. People from Southern and Central Africa seem to be more shy when it comes to the language. Maybe it's just my own observation though. On the other hand, it might depend on how long people stay in Poland. Some languages, like English, are easy to learn on the basic level, while Polish comes with a steep curve at the very beginning, as in even simple phrases and sentences are difficult grammatically and phonetically. Usually people learn much easier when they can overcome the first stage. But judging by the Uber drivers bringing me food everyday, 90% of them can't speak Polish at all (not even "Hello"). I think the general assumption among immigrants is, that if they aren't going to stay in Poland forever, the language isn't worth the trouble.
Also, when you say "fluent" what do you really mean? If you mean that they can master the Polish grammar, then it almost never happens. Often, not even the kids of Polish immigrants in the US, who learnt Polish as their first language, can form single sentences that are grammatically correct. On the other hand, to a Pole, anyone who can communicate in Polish speaks "very well" and we're happy. Once you can overcome the beginning phase I think the language becomes easier no matter where you're from. Often, the Slavic speakers show more problems then, because they assume they're good too soon. And last, there's always the matter of personal language skills. Two people I met that could speak great Polish (to the point where I almost couldn't tell they're not natives) were from Finland and Tunisia respectively. The Fin man lived in Poland for a long time, the other one worked as a tourist guide in Tunisia. He learnt Polish in 6 months without ever visiting Poland.
@@VolvoMarkkuMate,your people are racist + learning your language is much more annoying than learning german or dutch.And the racism increases the hate immigrants have to polish people.Fix your manners and you will be known as good as dutch people,danish people,belgian people etc.Your problem is you don’t want to change,majority of poles are stuck in 1900 mindset.You hate everyone and ask us to learn your language
@@VolvoMarkku Swedish is much easier to learn than Polish. The film was shot near Warsaw University; most of the interviewees are Erasmus students, and so on. These individuals are not immigrants; most of them will leave Poland.
the volume of the voices is too low ...
general rule and please tell that everyone (because many fail with that): there are many devices around and without headphones most notebooks and mobile phones suck with amplifying the volume. therefor, test always without headphones (or just use the same volume as professional youtubers do who are aware about such standards and sound for a reason much louder).
Huy we perdon 😂
Neniu menciis Esperanton, kvankam tiu lingvo naskiĝis en Pollando.
Yes, invested by the Polish Ludwik Zamenhof but this language is very rarely learned in Poland.
I discovered your channel with this video and my surname is "Özbek". :D What a coincidence that you are from Uzbekistan.
I speak two languages, portuguese and english, but I also want to learn french ❤
Amazing! 😍
Salve conterrâneo
I know English and Spanish fluently, and am advanced level in Norwegian and upper advanced level in Dutch and upper intermediate level in Icelandic / Norse / German, and learning many other languages as well! highly recommend learning the prettiest languages Icelandic and Old Norse and Dutch and Norwegian etc 2gether with French and Gallo and Breton, as they are the prettiest languages ever that are as pretty / refined / poetic as English, so they are way too pretty not to know! Iceland is one of my dream countries, despite the cold weather and the long dark winters - but all should learn Icelandic and Norse and Faroese etc, even those that aren’t moving to Iceland, as the Norse languages are really unique and special languages and they are super fun to learn / speak / hear / see etc!
Moi aussi,Je veux apprendre le français
Music is too loud 😅
Thank you for your feedback! Appreciate :)
I speak English and Spanish 😊
I speak english spanish arabic✨
Starsze pokolenie w Polsce słabo mówi w języku angielskim. Żyliśmy za Żelazną Kurtyną. Wyjazdy na zachód Europy były ograniczone z powodów ekonomicznych i politycznych. Niewielu cudzoziemców odwiedzało nasz kraj. Socjalistyczna szarzyzna nie zachęcała do odwiedzin. Moje pokolenie lepiej mówi po rosyjsku, bowiem ten język był przedmiotem szkolnym. Mieliśmy kontakty handlowe i kulturalne z Rosją. Dziś, młodzi mówią coraz lepiej w językach obcych, ponieważ w Polsce są oddziały międzynarodowch korporacji - znajdują w nich zatrudnienie. Polacy w ramach prowadzonej działalności mają kontakty praktycznie z całym światem. W Polsce kwitnie turystyka. Globalizujemy się. To wszysto zachęca do nauki. Dla osób 60 plus Uniwersytety III Wieku organizują kursy językowe, żeby moje pokolenie jako tako odnajdywało się w szybko zmieniającej się rzeczywistości. Jednak w moim wieku poliglotki ze mnie nie będzie.🙃 Ale mam kieszonkowy tlanslator. Wspaniały wynalazek.
Привет 👋🏻🙂
Polacy są w zasadzie jednojęzyczni. Starsi uczyli się rosyjskiego, ale powiedzmy sobie szczerze, mało jest Polaków, którzy swobodnie byliby w stanie rozmawiać w tym języku nawet wśród tych starszych. Młodzi teoretycznie powinni znać angielski, ale nie znają. Ten Uzbek był za grzeczny, mam tu lepsze przykłady:
Gość z Anglii i co on myśli o naszym angielskim:

A tu gość ze Stanów:

Tutaj gość z UK testuje młodego Polaka. Zaczepił tam kilka osób po angielsku i tylko jedna dała radę:

„Dzieci w Polsce rozpoczynają obowiązkową naukę języka angielskiego dość wcześnie, bo już na etapie zerówki. Szkoła podstawowa ma obowiązek zapewnić przynajmniej dwie godziny angielskiego tygodniowo już od pierwszej klasy. W ciągu 8 lat daje to ponad 600 godzin nauki języka”
English niczego dobry nie daje
Uno parla con 5 o 10 persone e poi constata che sanno o non sanno le lingue...
@@Ntwadumela1 nikogo nie obchodzi co angol myśli o naszym angielskim,wiesz dlaczego?Bo jest ograniczony do swojej percepcji.
Znam polski.
I know English.

私に日本語がわからない

_(I tried to recall just enough German, Spanish or French to say I don't know them either, but I guess I don't remember even that much)_
Muzyka czasem zbyt głośna i przeszkadza w rozumieniu
Wow I am so amazed!
Thanks
I think the volume of music is Ok. It's the voices not loud enough sometimes)
Very cozy vibes from your video 🤗
Love intro and outro 🖤
Thanks! 🤗
I would not really call them polyglots. Most of them said they speak two or three languages, so they are bilingual or trilingual😊
Je parle français,anglais et ouzbek
Keep it up 💯
why do you say language in singular?
0:43 I can hear the “s” at the end, but he pronounces it wrong.
The girl in minute 3:43 is so pretty.
How many languages, not how many language.... ha ha podstawowe pytanie i zadane błędnie....
2:17 - 2:44 wtf is bro on the right doing 😭😭😭😭 hes seeing things no one else can see
Good,thanks
That statue looks a bit like Daniel Craig :D
))
i speak : German , Albanian and English fluently….
Turkish i understand from the turkish serials 😂
i also understand a lot of Italian but do not speak it well…..
so 3 Languages perfectly
Is it normal to see this kind of beauty in Poland? Because OMG
It depends on the city. The largest cities, Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk for example, are very beautiful. Small towns are usually not that neat, but they have their own charm and often have historic buildings
@@Ashuyu_u Idk if you're joking but I was talking about the women 😂
@@SALx96 I thought you're talking about city 🥹 If you ask about women, imo the most polish girls I know are really pretty, it depends on what kind of woman you like tho
@VanquisherOfTroons yup
1:37 secong girl is verry beautiful
I speak three nepali english and hindi
If you are an educated uzbek from uzbekistan then you know russian and could understand what the girl speak in russian, but possibly you are not from Tashkent but from a little kishlak far from the capital, then it's ok, they dont know how to speak russian, here in Russia they work as low quality workers and they dont speak russian.
Thanks for passing by!
Man I speak 5 languages, but i see you are the most educated one here according to your text :)
Poles: Hello, how are you?
Russian: Wearing these boots really hurts me. 😀
There is little chance that this girl was Russian: rather from eastern Ukraine, Bielarus or some other ex-soviet republic.
@@varoth When someone speaks Russian, I will call him a Russian, if they want to be called Ukrainians, they have to speak in Ukrainian and have Ukrainian flag on their heads or I don't care, they are Russians for me.
@@varoth Хакер знает... Для нас все русские.

Asking foreign people how many languages they speak in Poland doesn't make sense. They may be there for 1 week and doesn't speak polish at all, it's not describing "People in Poland"...
Despite the fact that most of them are tourists 😂
I speak 4 2 fluent 2 still learning
Which ones do you speak fluently?
I speak Irish, English and German.
Are you Irish?
@@AlexanderTch Indeed I am. I was born in Ireland and have Irish ancestry.

1:57 What the hell is that dude? she said the she can speak 3 different languages, but when you ask her kindly what the three languages are, she only mention 2 and not the 3rd one. She was probably a little drunk I guess... 🙄
maybe she was learning something like Korean since it's popular with teenagers in Poland, but maybe she wasn't too good at it yet and was embarassed to admit it :D
@@Cypekeh But she seemed to be a bit drunk. If she would have been sober, she probably would have explained the matter a little more clearly… 😁
@@Cypekeh In any case, Poland is a shit country. I’ve never been there and never go. Neighbour Germany takes the win! 🇩🇪👍👌👊
@@VolvoMarkku I don't think she was
@@Cypekeh Do you think so even though her response wasn't very kind? at least I self wouldn't answer that way if I were to give an interview to someone. Of course, people are so different, but in my opinion, that young woman did not act appropiate.
These vids are getting kinda boring. I speak my own language, plus English plus a bit of another language.
Real!
I speak 2 languages in 1
Speaking English, talking b*****ks
