      Considering that the source for this map is Instytut Danych z Dupy (i.e. stereotypes), pretty much anyone will appreciate someone trying to learn their language, even if they will communicate in English with you for convenience.

      It doesn’t matter whether it’s American, French, Martian or whatever – we know that Polish is hard and no one expects you to get it instantly. But:

      1. It’s a good sign if someone at least spends some time for basic sentences (please, thank you, good morning) – I think it applies to all languages. It just shows that guest wanted to know more about the host.
      2. If you’re going to live here for a longer period of time, you will have a hard time if you won’t try to start learning Polish. Don’t expect that everyone will speak English in like grocery shops, city services etc. Again, it applies to other languages as well – I don’t expect to get far with only English if I’d like to live in France for couple of months or years.

      To be honest when I hear a foreigner speak Polish I’m typically impressed for the first 5 seconds then try to see if they speak english because it’s likely easier to communicate especially people from English speaking countries.

      I live in my own country so I expect people to speak polish at least at the basic level.

      What’s your definition of learn Polish?

      1.Kurwa, PIEROGIES, dzień dobry, bober?

      or is it

      2.Jestem John, uczę się Polskiego, miło mi poznać.

      The former will just piss people off. The latter is appreciated.

      Depends. On easy topics, polish is welcomed. But If I have to take complex conversation with someone lacking skill to speak Polish I will insist to switch to English

      Polish people are quite happy when other nations learn polish and they are chill when people make mistakes. Only when it comes to ukrainians they expect only the perfect polish

      I always switch to English with foreigners asking for directions or whatever because I don’t have time to struggle through decoding their attempts. Sometimes they will straight up tell me it’s rude because they’re “trying to practice” and that’s great and all but I don’t care and am not a teacher

      From personal experience reactions to a foreigner speaking Polish goes like that:

      Zabka level – WOW OH MY GOD 😍

      Intermediate – Well actually… 🤓

      Upper intermediate – No one kurwa talks like this, it’s 21st century 😐

      C2 certificate obtained – Spierdalaj na front 😡

      This map is sooo incorrect.

      Every time I tried to speak in Russian to a Russian person (I used to be pretty fluent), the first reaction was almost panic, like ‚what did he hear when we were taking and didn’t realize he understood‘?

      I usually applaud them for having enough willpower to commit time to it. I know I wouldn’t.
