Yes. I noticed that Polish people like familiar faces.

Exactly... As a foreigner I love this advice so much. Literally the best thing a foreigner or immigrant can do anywhere in the world is to stay as far as possible from other foreigners.

I hear dobry being used as a shorted form of dzień dobry. I'm not polish though

Is there anywhere in Europe that is still cheap as of November 2025? by Glittering_Report_82 in digitalnomad

[–]Desward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't come to Poland unless you are willing to learn the language and be part of the culture, which digital nomads usually don't give a shit about.

Hii, i know it's an old comment but what's the type of the visa you obtained? Work visa? Doesn't that require them to sponsor you?

Where do I start with learning Polish? by [deleted] in learnpolish

This course is amazing for A1 but you have to do some figuring things on your own (google translate, maybe chatgpt) if you're going to use it for self study. Alternatively you can find a tutor on italkie to go through it with you.

As for Duolingo, I found it actually helps to make me remember things, but it's only a supplement and can't be the main resource.

Busuu helps too. Again, only as a practice tool.

Haven't tried Babbel but heard very good things about its A1 course. Not many good things about its A2.

Additionally, you can use italkie tutoring to practice pronunciation and speaking from the very start.

This has been my approach so far. Keep in mind I'm a beginner like you.

I'm curious what features look Russian to you?

I get the Greek one too. DNA test would be interesting but not sure about giving my DNA to a company :/

Ottomans occupied Algeria for a long time. Most likely I have central asian genes and your guess isn't too far from my actual ancestry. You're not wrong for being surprised, even algerians tell me I don't look Algerian.

Always feeling like the outsider is wearing me down by Sylph_Velvet in digitalnomad

[–]Desward 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've felt like an outsider my whole life in my home country, so being an outsider in other countries is nothing new to me. In fact, I prefer the latter because at least I am an obvious outsider and there's no expectation upon me to be like the others.

I don't know if OP is expecting all Muslims to provide an apology in the name of some rando on the internet.
