What's it like for a Brit to live in Wrocław, Poland? | Pt. 1

Wrocław is a city built over a swamp and there's bridges everywhere. That contributes heavily towards how badly traffic is handled here. Wrocław is one of the worst cities in Poland when it comes to traffic.

Poles can be very sarcastic, too (for instance when they are joking or commentating on things that have gone bad or which they disapprove...). Sarcasm was one way of enduring the absurdities in the imposed Soviet command economy. Another coping strategy was improvisation, that's what you could observe as Polish driving style... PS: Check some films by Stanisław Bareja, the Polish king of black humour, if you are able to watch them in English or with English subtitles. Many of them achieved cult status, the most famous one is probably "Miś" (Teddy Bear)!

Everything you said guys it’s true we have rubbish roads terribly design it while I was in UK I love them the way someone prepared design and finish them. There’s a lot for us to learn.

I have to say that Rob's accent is easier for me to understand what he is saying or maybe it is just because in my opinion Rob has a very pleasant lector voice. I'm glad to see you back in Poland (you are probably not in Poland any more).

Hi check the links below please...

And You are musician so what You think about this 2 links...?

I want native speakers to correct me! That's not offensive. I would rather say it's priceless! :)

I don't mind if someone corrects me on the fly.

Two Englishmen and Delicje. Someone should paint it.

The Brit is really sarcastic, arrogant and haughty. But how can he call himself a Brit ? There are no more brits for 1700 years there -) But the straight Scot seems to be pleasant and more …polonised. The latter one noticed that we poles use Pan and Pani instead of you. Spot on. It is highly offensive to say you to an alien person in Poland. I assume that the Scot’s chemistry to his girl will fade away soon after having been together for 3,5 years and other polish girls might benefit on him. What a pity he isn’t gay -(

About this part with correcting someone - in my case I'd be offended. During my university times, when I was living at dorm with a native speaker I asked her to correct me if I make a mistake, to speak better English. She said she would that but I'm pretty sure she naver have done that. I guess my English was terrible (and probably still is)

Why aren't you sold on the black market yet English.

I used to live in UK for 14 years and as a Yorkshire Man, naturalized obviously, I have to say that Kane is not an Englishman. His accent is not of Yorkshire, Manchester or Liverpool. Newcastle or Sheffield either. Northern Ireland- now way. Scotland - you make me laugh. I lived in north England long enough and drove a van 5 days a week on my weekly work routine to be certain that Kane is not an Englishman. I can recognize accents from different parts of Britain, because I have been speaking to people from different parts of Britain. And Kane doesn't look British.

I've never been offended by someone correcting me in any language.
If someone wants to be rude, they'll find plenty of other ways to act like an as**le. Correcting isn't the best one ;)

As for calling people names, we do it as well, but I think you need to be much closer to someone than in the English-speaking world.

Git Breslau !

To prawda. Kobiety w UK bardzo brzydkie.

Interesting channel.

Dont know if someone can confirm my spot but onomatopeically, Ken comunicates more as Polish than English, to me.

I'm Polish living in UK - so driving in Poland - naaah... prefer England. And it's not about roads: culture of driving, way how ppl driving in England compared to ppl driving in Poland. England defo wins in that matter :)

My late wife hailed from Wroclaw, and she introduced me to the history, culture and incredible food of Poland.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I live in Donny for 19 y. luv my city!! And I am Polish!!

Enjoyed your video. We are a retired British couple and moved to Poland in 2014. My husbands Father was Polish but we did not speak Polish ! It is a fantastic country and as you say people have a weird idea about it but visitors are amazed when we show them round.

As for the driving I must admit... not considerate is a pretty accurate description. Still learning to let other people in or not act as a 'king of the road', but I do believe we'll get there :)

Where did you got this guy from? We correct ourselves in grammar. If you correct someone it doesn't mean you're mean. Scott's got it betta than you pals

It does not matter how strong zloty is to pound. What matters is how much of these zlotys you are making...

Nie trzeba nam zdradieckich pedałów 🎉

and I want to thank you a lot for making me depressed, anxious for many years after just one year in england :) I do suffer from PTSD till this day after I got jumped for speaking Polish. I don't care you are not responsible for that, but I want yall to feel the same

I had english friend and never liked her calling me those silly names, i think some cultural differences has to just stay the way they are...:)

Yeah, no, our roads and drivers are both genuinely shit. XD

sama słodycz!

Wrocław and near areas... Yeah :D this is not a cut of the country where roads are fine and something to be proud of.

About driving. I agree. I have made couple of thousands KM around UK. They are quick, dynamic. They have to ;) it is so tight etc.

I think Polish people like to be corrected, That's how we learn.

Probably the most famous English musician living in Poland is Nigel Kennedy.

"Delicje" on the table... Starting with "kobiety"... I'm hooked already, running to get my tea and watch the entire video.
15 minutes later: I'm sure a lot of British (and not only!) people are going to appreciate just how practical the presented information is, and your manner of presentation is so natural and laidback. Personally, as a teacher, I enjoyed all the references to language most. 🙂

Enjoy living in beautiful Wroclaw 🇵🇱 ❤. Nice movie. Nice content. Greetings from Leicester 🇬🇧.

I'm glad Brits correct me😊

You should correct us. That is only way to get better. So, please do!

Iv been here ten years, here for good. Great place to raise a family ❤

You both look so polish, I would never tell 😂🎉😂

What part of the UK is the guy on the right exactly from? He’s got a very clear accent.

Kane's hot

Canadian considering a move to Wroclaw and I found this video VERY helpful.
