ha ha! Is this topic inspired by my post? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> As I have written in the other topic, I'm a native Pole, I will be 20 this year. I come from a town in the very eastern part of Poland- Chełm. My town has about 70 000 citizens and is famous for it's chalk <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Actually we have no buildings taller than 5 floors, because they cold sink as chalk is not the most solid ground to build on <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Currently I study applied linguistic in Warsaw, with german as my first and english as my second language. I came to this site because I was searching for english articles concerning pierogi and knedle. I needed (and still need) them for my essay by definition about dumplings. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Somewhat silly, isn't it? But anyway, here I am, and I hope I'll stay here for a while <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Witam i pozdrawiam wszystkich użytkownik�w <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I thought I make some advertisment for my little poor town <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Chełm is an archaic polish word for "hill" and in the centre there is a hill called the Chełm Mountain I found some photos of Chełm, but they are not so good: http://www.ga.com.pl/chelm.htm There are no photos of Chełm Chalk Undergrounds and no view from The Chełm Moutain, where The Basilica from the photos is located though.

Poland is indeed a beautiful country, I really enjoyed the pictures posted here..
What impresses me even more is the new people coming on the forum from Poland, They are so well educated. All of them speak excellent English.. Americans can learn a lot from them..
Witamy was Mikolaj

Mikolaj,
thank you for the presentation. I used to speak German better than English but this was a long time ago.
Thanks for so much information about Chelm, it looks like a beautiful and cozy town! I did not know anything about problems with building skyscrapers in Chelm!
We had on and off threads to welcome our new members but these threads were usually buried in the stock of other posts, this one would stay here... forever!
What have happened to winter in Poland???

I don't know it either... This winter there is no winter in Poland <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> There were some snowy days, but only few, and that in november. I think in January the temperature hasnn't really fallen under 0 C.. I hope the winter does come back, because I really love a frosty, snowy, sunny winter.. And maybe the winter will come back in March or April? Who knows, there are many suprizes our moderate climate can make us....
Ja też nie wiem... Tej zimy nie ma zimy w Polsce <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Było parę śnieżnych dni, ale tylko kilka i to w listopadzie. Wydaje mi się że w Styczniu temperatura nie spadła naprawde poniżej 0 C... Mam nadzieje że zima jednak wr�ci, ponieważ kocham mroźną, śnieżną, słoneczną zimę... A może zima wr�ci w Marcu albo Kwietniu? Kto wie, jest wiele niespodzianek kt�re nasz umiarkowany klimat może nam sprawić.

Как интересно, столько у нас полиглотов! К сожалению я совсем не могу говорить по-польски, но именно через этот форум я теперь умею немного читать на нем! Польский тоже красивый язык, только я пока не привык к акценту.
На работе однажды был мужчина, который родился в Польше. Мы с ним часто разговарвали, он на польском, а я на русском!

Hi Valefor, Welcome! You say >>I found some photos of Chełm, but they are not so good: http://www.ga.com.pl/chelm.htm There are no photos of Chełm Chalk Undergrounds and no view from The Chełm Moutain, where The Basilica from the photos is located though. I have looked at the pictures and wonder what the good ones look like, if thes are only so-so! It looks like a beautiful town. I am the resident Slovak/Rusyn on htis list. If some drunk fell in the river and come out on the south side one night, I might be Lemko or Polish. In any case the Slovak language is a great example for the Polish language, and I hope you adapt our spelling system soon! Your special diacritical notations are very difficult! Kai

Those are fantastic pictures! I would ove to see it up close!
I am a senior in high shool in Colorado, USA. I love most of Europe and have only visited parts of England ad Ireland, but the weather was perfect, some rain, chilly but not cold, and I love the history and architecture of all that i have seen of the other European countries. I am of Irish origion and hope to, one day, call Europe home!
other than that, I have little expierience with the languages (English is my primary one) and they don't offer anything other than Spanish at my school.

Originally posted by Eric N: [qb] Как интересно, столько у нас поли! . . . [/qb] Eric, if you post in Russian would you please also provide the translation. I asked Valefor for double posts becasue it helps me learn Polish. But since English is the language of this forum, I do think posting ONLY in something other than English is, well, rude. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> thanks, Nancy

I have a lot of relatives in Britain (especially in Wales - Cymru), and so I would love the opportunity to visit someday. The closest I have been, though, is to see London from the air while I was landing at Heathrow. Still, it was quite beautiful! Also, my grandparents were in Ireland in the early 1990s, and they absolutely loved it! Unfortunately, not many American schools these days are interested in offering foreign languages. The budget cuts only make the situation worse. Still, if you have an opportunity to learn any foreign language, I would strongly recommend it! It will open the world of a new culture to you!
