Hello! As you could guess, I'm from Poland, from a smalll city Toruń, yesterday I had my 21st birthday )) My name is Marta (but I like, prefer Johanka )), I'm studying at University of Torun Czech Philology. In free time I talk with Cechs, play with them piškvorky and learn of course beautiful czech language This would be all for introduction, everything will see the daylight at discussion, že? Zdravim, Johanka
Hi Johanka! I'm from Poland too. It's nice to meet you . Unfortunately, the notch of my Czech is really low, I'm just starting or I haven't even started yet.
Hi Johanka or is it Marta? I see you are from Torun, isn't that the lignite minig area in SW of Poland. I have visited there a few times with my job as mining engineer. I am UK citizen, but remember well, my visits there. The people their were very hospitable and I have good memories of Torun. I also travelled a lot to Czech, and over the years fell in love with the country. So much so, my wife and I have bought a house there, and plan to relocate in September. Although we don't speak any Czech ( or Polish) as yet, we are keen to learn. Hope your studies go ok and for now Gin dobri , or is it Nazdravee? regards Rog
Czesc Johanka z Arcu (Joan of Arc? ) Welcome to the boards! It's nice to see someone from Poland here Beautiful country really, I was in a small town near Krakow a few times and I really liked it there. Then the road from Poland lead me to the Czech Republic and Prague I am really curious about the relationships among the people of these two bordering countries, both Slavic but with a different history... I have been learning Czech but I like Polish so much as well Rog, "Dzień Dobry" means "Good day' in Polish while "Na zdraví" is Czech and it means "To health" and it is what people usually say when toasting. Dowidzenia! Lorenzo
Hi everyone, it's really nice to read such nice posts Sova - jooo, to je zivot adder - another Pole, how nice )) We can learn together thi beautiful language at this board vivaroztoky - I don' think so, Toruń is in north of the country (near Bydgoszcz) Lorenzo - I don't know much about relations beetween our countries, I've meet lots of Czechs, but they are mostly young and veeery nice, so I don't feel any negative reactions, but I probably will be able to write more about this when I'll be back from monthly holidays in Prague at July this year Personally, I'm very surprised, that my country interested so many people ;-) But I will be trying to explain all matters Ps. Na zdravi is of course czech, but polish version sounds (and looks ;-)) qiute similar, and it would be very helpful, to know this word being in Poland ....it's NA ZDROWIE
Well, I wouldn't say that Toruń is a small city, though smaller than my Lublin. I hope to learn here how to speak Czech better too.
