Comments on: Is It Still Polish? http://www.transparent.com/polish/dialects-and-regional-variations-of-polis/ Language and Culture of the Polish-Speaking World Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:42:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michele http://www.transparent.com/polish/dialects-and-regional-variations-of-polis/comment-page-1/#comment-1647 Michele Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:24:13 +0000 http://transparent.com/polish/?p=2#comment-1647 I hope you can help with geography of Galicia in Poland. My grand parents listed Alsanicza, Galicia on their immigration records but I have looked at maps of Poland from various years(after reading about all the name changes based on changes in countries that held Galicia), and cannot find this town. When I've searched some Polish immigration records I've also seen Olsanicza. Is this the same town. Can you provide the name of a town near Alsanicza that may be larger and therefore on a map? Thank you very much. I hope you can help with geography of Galicia in Poland.

I can't promise anything, but I will do my best to round up some native speakers for a little language exchange with you. If you use skype (you can do voice chat computer to computer for free), then it will be much easier to find a conversation partner, as they don't have to be physically in Oz. But we'll see what we can do for you! :) Waldemar,

I am similarly delighted to find this blogsite. Pracowalem we Polsce bylo czternascie (40 years) lat temu. Bylo szesc miesance dla budynek na Warszawa dla Ministerstwa Zdrowia i Fondacja Sue Ryder. Jestem Nowe Zelandczychiem i mieszkam na Australie. I live in the wonderful suburb of Manly which is better for swimming than Bondi in Sydney and has maybe fifty coffee shops! Ja lubie bardzo Polskie Jenzyk and wish I could meet with a native speaker at least once a week to refresh and extend my modest grasp. I loved the subtle colours on buildings in Krakowskie Przedmieske where the King's Palace was still a field of rubble! I was staying in Hotel Orbis. Then people who broke a pane of glass in their high rise apartment had to buy a thin fragile replacement and take it home in crowded buses! I had to queue two hours with official documents to buy one kilogram of skinny nails for repair work on a szpital! I was always impressed by infinite Polish goscinosc. I think the cupboards were often bare after my visit! I took my two children (then 6 and 7 years old) back to Warsaw in 1989 and visited some friends I had made. It is a beautiful country and I hope yet to return. Let me know of anyone in Manly who would like to meet occasionaly for conversation. I don't mind two-way coaching in English. Dowidzenia, Waldemar.
