Some possibilities

I’ve been considering translating all posts to Polish. Don’t know if it makes sense to do it or not.

Also considering posts entitled, “That’s So Polish”, but not sure I can pull it off. Should be humorous not hurtful. We’ll see.

I think is a good idea:) Translating is the best form of learning, it involves not only vocabulary, but grammar. You can do it!! Misiu can help little, maybe some of readers can correct and with some help, you can have every post in two languages. English for your family and friends in US, and I am sure you'll get more readers from Poland if the posts will show up in two languages. And even if is not perfect, so what, who cares??

I come here because of English, however even if you give the translation I won't stop coming! :) Definitely worth it - I have a friend who sometimes I want to show what you have written and she is not very keen to read in Eng so it's always ending up with: "show her and know that she won't read it or translate it?".. ;) You would make my day with that ;)

And I'm for the “That’s So Polish”! curious to see what will be mentioned. I bet that the Polish-attitude, "how are you? ohhh you know, my wife is sick, my job is terrible, my pet just died and the greenhouse effect is depressing me!" :)))

So I guess I will have to get started translating. That's gonna be a lot of work.....for Misiu, ha, ha, ha.

There are many things in my head when I think "that is so Polish". A lot of the ideas come from my own observations but also Polish people are quite good at self-criticism and often remark that something is "so Polish". Of course, I first think of negatives but there are some positives in there as well. I gotta get started :)

NO!! I can't read Polish and I love Poland! I can only read these in English. :C please keep them in English.

Dear Anonymous-
Don't fret. Every post will first exist in English and then be translated to Polish. Both will appear together under one post title...that is if I ever get around to translating the old posts. Sound good?
