    Should it be not up to the Poles to learn fluent English when they come to an English speaking country?

    I used to put up with it before trying to understand what someone who had a grand total of 3 words of English was saying but not anymore.


    In countries like Australia people have to be able to have a good working knowledge of English before going there, seems like a good idea to me.

    It should of course. Would you move to Warsaw with no Polish and expect to get on in life? I wouldn't! But it doesn't work that way in this country, unfortunately. We more or less signed away our right to decide for ourselves who can stay and who must leave if they are EU citizens, and we seem to have ended up stuck with a lot of people, many on welfare, who have no command of the English language.

    Can't be bothered to read the whole thread to see if anyone has said this before but:
    Lots of Polish people in Ireland have married/had children with Irish people. Their family members come to visit and and while the Poles living in Ireland have good English their families don't. I have heard loads of people talking about the difficulty of speaking to their In laws from Poland. People should make an effort to learn the basics if they are in that situation. I know I definitely would.

    I never understand why some people almost take pride in the fact that they make no effort with Languages other than English - the more ways to communicate we have the better.

    How much is ''lots''? Although I suspect there are a fair few considering the sheer volume of Poles who have come to these shores, I would have thought the overall number of marriages and relationships would be negligible. But I don't know. I personally don't know anybody who has been with one, so maybe the number is more than I think.
