Nie żeby coś, ale takie podejście rodziców i nauczycieli odnośnie błędów językowych sprawia, że Polacy umieją mówić po angielsku ALE się boją i mają blokadę. Funkcja języka to zrozumienie przekazu. Głównie na tym ma się człowiek skupić, aby zrozumiano informację, a nie żeby "the" było poprawne. Poprawność przyjdzie z czasem, a gadanie "what did you say? Are you sure you said it correctly?" tylko zrazi dzieciaka :(((

"Blokada" przed mówieniem to cecha uniwersalna, bardziej zależna od osobowości. A ci nauczyciele właśnie od tego są...

The child screaming after "6th sense" was classic!

That's why Polish mothers are the best because they're really hands on Moms and doing everything for their children. Mom is always there to listen and give good honest advice and she knows you're very good husband to her daughter but she see her daughter working so hard too to keep the family strong and together and she want you to acknowledge that too and give her credit because what will reflect on her what kind of daughter she raised. I am sure your mother-in-law wants the best for your family so don't worry about her she is not your enemy. Trust me it's better if she goes to her mother then to a stranger because her mother wants to see you both together and happy and your kids growing up with two wonderful parents.

Thanks Russel, I almost died laughing. Your points about teściowa are 100% true! And also about przeciąg.

About "only English" issue - to bilingual children it is important and helpful (well, learning a language is not an easy thing) that they can distinguish two languages, consistently presented by mom and dad; it allows them to recognise and organise elements of the system. Although I think that it's not so important to correct every mistake they make - languages are not mostly about learning and perfection, it's about communication, they will learn anyway. ;) You are complaining just like a typical native Polish citizen, well done. ;)

Wonderful post! Dziękuję Ci!!

Such a funny story. Thank you Russ

Your video cracks me up! Glad your wife approved first! :D. So I enjoyed watching because my grandmother was one of the firstborn children of Polish immigrants here in the US. She was very very Polish! She rarely ever used air conditioning as far as my father remembers from growing up (of course, they were in NY and I grew up in VA). Also, while she spoke FLUENTLY in Polish and often in Polish to both her mother (surprise... she and her mama were apparently VERY close!) and she also spoke in Polish to my Slovak/Rusyn grandfather, who basically understood most of her, she NEVER taught her three sons Polish. So my dad had NO CLUE about what his mother said to her mother about him, and then they would both laugh maniacally. I am currently learning Polish through Duolingo. It's too bad my grandmother is no longer alive to listen to my efforts... But I went all the way through college and majored in English literature, so I'm pretty sure I have mastered the English language reasonably well. :). Nobody ever complains on yf father's side of the family, either; they are all very reserved, and I think that came largely from my grandmother, too. Probably the only thing you shared that didn't remind me of her were those fish. Thank goodness.... YUCK! LOL :D. Tell your wife thank you for letting you share so that we Americans with Polish roots can look back on our grandparents! :D

Hahaha OMG i shared this video immediately with my greek partner.... i think he will feel much better after seeing that ;)))) he is not the only one with this polish issues. Cheers :)))

As a Polish-American, I very much relate to #3. The number of times when my mom gets annoyed at my dad (Polish) and I when we exclaim, "But you need to be specific!". We're very much data and detail oriented - literally hard-wired into our DNA, and I clearly got the Polish DNA. Just the other day, my mom tells him, "Get the jelly from the container with the blue lid", and my dad could not find it. The lid was actually cyan. I also have slacks that are dark olive brown, but my mom insists they are green. Me - "No! Clearly it's a muddy brown!". Also, my Polish grandmother practically worshiped the sun. I don't think she enjoyed air-conditioning, either, and neither do I! I *will* open my windows in the summer! lol

Holy crap, all of these are so true! 1. Only English - this actually seems to be the case in most mixed marriages I know, the unwritten rule being that each parent speaks to the kids in their language. 2. Tesciowa - yep, gotta know your place in the pecking order. You're forever a conscript on your first day of boot camp and Tesciowa is your drill sergeant, except that you will never, ever rise in the ranks. Just accept it. 3. The "precision" thing - my god, it's been annoying me my whole life, and you're the first person I've ever heard put it into words! Here's me telling a story to a Pole: "So I take this train to Warsaw at like 5AM..." "The first one departs at 6." "OK. So the flight I need to catch cost me pennies..." "Impossible. They start at 50zl, tax not included." "Yeah. Cheap. So I got nothing in my luggage but booze..." "No way you didn't have at least a toothbrush and a change of clothes." Etc, etc. WTF is this taboo against colorful exaggeration when it's entirely appropriate? I'm not dosing your morphine, I'm trying to tell a funny story, FFS. :/ 4. No AC. Yup. Just like ice in drinks, drafts and wind - all created by the devil to make you get sick and die. 5. Stinky fish. You're lucky it's not boiling liver, or flaki. Stinking up the house on a regular basis protects against evil spirits, at least that's the only explanation I can think of. 6. Shitty customer service - very true, but alas it's not an exclusively Polish thing. Here in Belgium for example it's every bit as bad, and complaining needs to be ruthless and sustained to get you anywhere. Maybe it's a European thing? Keep up the great work, I love your videos!

Russell, nikt w Polsce nie bierze na poważnie zażaleń klientów (chyba, że ewidentnie słusznych), zwłaszcza w formie 'książki życzeń i zażaleń' bo Polacy mają w genach narzekanie i marudzenie. Powiem więcej... w zdrowiej i uczciwej (!) firmie kierownik zwykle albo 'domyślnie' trzyma stronę pracownika w każdej roszczeniowej sprawie bo czasy się zmieniły i nikt raczej nie próbuje nikogo oszukać. Klienci są czasem tak upierdliwi, że życie ewolucyjnie wymusiło taki system aby to oni udowodnili, że problem z którym przychodzą jest w ogóle sensowny. Wtedy dopiero ewentualna skarga jest brana pod osąd. Jakoś tak mniej więcej to wygląda ;) To, że nikt nie przejmuje się 'skargami' to wina samych klientów.

@@tracy4aminute376 Looking at it as caring is one way. To us in Europe this overweening "friendliness" and "caring " really come off as very, very fake. The exaggerated obsession with customer "service" has also created a toxic culture of "the customer is always right" , of servers and the served, where the servers are treated as slaves to the whims and abuse of the served. And often insulted and direspected as "minimum wage earners". If that's your idea of "greatness", then, well, it's too bad. I'd rather sometimes receive subpar service (which i agree is very annoying), than be served by someone whose livelihood depends on the good intentions of random assholes, instead of being paid a living wage (so restaurant and dîner servers) in the US. That's disgusting.

I'm so with you concerning point 6. It's gotten to the point where I will just issue my complaint in English. Just for me to have said my piece.

At front of you her daughter never do nothing wrong but she definitely telling her daughter in pravite if she see something what her daughter done wrong or could done different way. That's Mother's love it's nothing wrong with that. Take a easy relax and love your wife and kids and appreciate your wife for all the good things she does for you and your kids. Nobody is perfect we all have to compromise things to keep the peace and happiness.

I love AC and I came from Poland but I been in US for so long that's why.

I recognize the Houston shirt! We are use to telling tall tales / exaggerated stories that most other Houstonians recognize as... momentary satire? Idk how to explain it lol

Hey thanks for telling us about your marriage. Look at it this way: my (ex)wife once said she'd only stay married if we bought a car with a/c

Try to tell your wife that you are going to take an 1 hour nap and wake up after 1,5. You'll be immediately informed that you have been sleeping for 2 hours at least :D (works better when you have some chores to do ;)

I believe the AC thing is true for all of (central) Europe. At least here in Germany nobody has AC in their homes either and every time my family visits the States we all complain how cold your grocery stores and restaurants are. It's like a freezer to us. Very uncomfortable. It's summer and we have to put on sweatshirts before we enter Walmart... Froze my ass off staying at a friend's home in Arizona, lol. I'm a skinny woman who'll wrap a blanket around her legs in summer because it's cozy. Room temperature 26 degrees. :D So the AC craze in the US is especially insane and unpleasant to me.

Of course. Wherever there is air conditioning, I feel too cold. 21 degrees is the minimum. Below it ends with a cold for me.

Ad. 2. I think it depends on the woman, but I could relate to that. On many occasions my mother didn't tell me about important things (e.g. death and funeral of my cousin). When I still lived with my parents and older sister, I was the only one to not know or the last one to get to know about something. My wife has similiar "traits". My father-in-law is very proud of his flowers and on many occasions he sends photos of them to his daughter - my wife. Also my brother-in-law sends pictures of his little children to my wife. In most cases I don't get to see them and when my father-in-law asks me about his newly bloomed flowers or about his grandchildrens' photos it becames awkward. My ex also had a tendency of not telling me things like "we're going to my parents/grandparents for dinner" - it was very frustrating when I got back from work, took my shoes off and wanted to relax and she told me we go out in 5 mins... Ad. 4. A/C could be actually very unhealthy and even fatal. There are many fungi in A/C devices and A/C needs to be cleaned very often, but many people don't do that. Also when there's a hot day and you go outside from a cooled room, you can get cold, headache or worse. Ad. 6. In most cases letters of complain don't work at all. You either get no response or get a response "we're sorry, we're doing our best to satisfy our customers..." (but next time you visit the same place nothing has changed) or something like "we've checked phone call/surveilance recording/documentation and found nothing wrong". However sometimes letters of complain do make change. It's rare, but it happens.

"My wife and me are a team" Oh boy... here we go again...

I'm polish living in USA and I love AC.

hahaahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂 this is one of your best videos.

Więc Karen nie może „Karen” w Polsce. Po prostu kolejna rzecz do kochania w tym!. Pozdrowienia i najlepsze życzenia z Austin w Teksasie. So Karen's cannot Karen in Poland. Just another thing to love! Greetings and best wishes from Austin, Texas.

We have Karens in Poland, but they are named Karinas - which have Brajan and Dżesika kids. There are also husbands, usually Sebas or Januszes.

Oh my, now I have a taste for Szprotka :) luckily I have a few :)

English guy in Poland since 2004, sprots, smoked , love them! If you eat enough you stop noticing the smell and just savour them. Get a bottle of cold Chablis and sit there and scoff ( make sure you eat the whole sprot). As for the Polish administration and queueing, simple just take a book to read and get in the line. My Polish is always good for a laugh by the time I get to the head of the line, in fact it was how I ended up getting citizenship. i was just going to re-new my Pobyt Czasowe and ended up applying for full citizenship all with some help from the rather bored military guys who were filtering out the no hopers. Super service and they helped with the 60 page application form. I was back and forth and we became firm friends and came to the ceremony when I obtained my citizenship. Do not knock the system it does work you just need patience and time.

Cześć. Pracuję w wielkiej korporacji i zajmuję się kontrolą jakości obsługi. W tak dużej firmie bardzo serio podchodzimy do skarg (szczególnie do pisemnych:) ). Myślę, że to bardzo zależy od firmy. Co do instytucji rządowych - nie wypowiem się. Tam często nadal panuje komuna. Napisałem po polsku żebyś sobie poćwiczył :)

We don't care about complaining customers, as there is always one unhappy that will complain about something 😂

Well actually it'd be also nice to hear what you both like most about hoyr hubby connected to your nationality/mentality.

omg number 3 cracks me up lol

Russel, since you mentioned country music, what's your opinion on disco polo? Would you say it's the Polish equivalent?

Both are bad. My coworkers sometimes turn it on. It takes the rest of the day listening to rock or classical music to get sanity back

I'm working in the field of consumer protection and I admit- complaints are often ignored by companies, even when justified. Also, many companies refuse to settle disputes amicably (probably knowing that not that many customers are determined enough to take the case to court and even if they are- the case in Poland can take years). On the other hand - from my experience the Americans are quite... difficult as customers. They assume they are always right, even if there is no legal basis to their claims.

I agree with you Anna Myrczek

I've been married to a polish girl for 11 yrs, debatable according to her, I relate 100% good sir! Only difference is while in Tarnobrzeg shopping for a file with my mother in law, they told her i couldn't sharpen tools with it therefore they don't have any files but this machine is better....she wasn't having it 🤣. Needless to say I walked around Stihl with my "body guard" until I got a file. My experience being a Tn hillbilly married into a Polish family has been the greatest thing I've ever done. These women are Strong, Intelligent, Proud, hardworking, determined and as stubborn as my grandma.

I am from Poland living 33 years in Canada. I can’t imagine to live without AC during summer months here. When I was visiting family in Poland we rented apartment with AC ( and we are both Polish)😂😂😂

Szprotki doskonałe!

I get it ... I married a South Korean Princess... My children speak two languages and having that 2nd language improves their life advantages.. We had two refrigerators.. One for the Aroma of Korean Food the other for American... I have a Grandparent who grew up in town called POSEN / POZAN.. But they spoke Dutch / German...

I am married to Polish woman and we live right outside of Warsaw. I cant agree more with the relationship with her mother. She is very over protective of our son and scared of everything. Also same thing with the AC but the microwave is in that group! Thanks for the video Well Done
