Polish people are like an onion - you peel those layers one by one as you are becoming their friend. Once you get to a core of this onion, they are the most loyal individuals you can find: they will stick with you in good and bad times, they will introduce you to their families. The last thing, Poles are not interested in superficial friendships but the real ones so their circle of real friends is not wide.
I know, that it is a old video, but I want to share my experience with renting apartment. I'm white Polish and I had the same situations many times when I was looking for a new place to settle. I made an appointments, only to get text hour after, that it is already rented to someone else. Or I ride to the place and could only kiss the handle. Owner didn't pick up the phone, nor answer texts. Sometimes I was welcomed with short sentence - already rented. Honestly I don't think, that people didn't want to rent you apartment because of your skin colour - it is just really hard to do it for anyone and you have to be very fast. Once I called someone 10 minutes after ad was published and... it was already rented! There is just not enough housing in big cities here.
Even in Gdansk region, some landlords do not wish the rent their apartments to "dark skinned" expats. Some make it this much clear. Someday we will all get over this perspective and bias.
@@sworial this has nothing to do with you being a dark skinned immigrant. It’s just as hard for indigenous Polish people to get a place to rent. It’s literally a hunt. Don’t bring all your difficulties down to your skin colour. You’re ignorant.
@@yasmina9485 Yasmin your rudeness and lack of understanding might be normal for you but please visit your psychologist for further assistance, not your sugar daddy.
@@sworial what lack of understanding? Just told you, that the struggle is equal for everyone. You’re an immigrant or indigenous, doesn’t matter. The struggle to find a place to rent is the same. You’re rude and ignorant to judge people like that. To be honest I’m glad that you struggle, because no sexist, misogynistic pig should have it easy in life.
Do 1. learn polish 2. learn about polish history to understand why the people are the way they are. 3. Dont do 1 and 2 and you will have all sorts of problems.
So you think that we Poles are not friendly enough ? Maybe it's because when we call someone a friend, we really think so and we really mean it. I know that in other cultures it is enough to stand behind someone in a queue to call him a friend. When I can't explain it to someone, I just say, "Poland is different"
Based on the history, one will understand why Polish people do not warm up easily, However, for someone meeting a Polish for the first time in Poland,I will say the reception is rather different🙂,
There is a massive difference between "friends" and "being friendly". Poles can make good friends in the long run, but are NOT generally 'friendly'! I AM a Pole who moved to Canada 35 years ago, so -believe me- I know the difference. Poles are generally reserved, keeping their distance, NOT easy to approach. The only Polish friends I still have in Poland are the ones I grew up with before I left the country (at the age of 22). These days, when I visit Poland, I can only see degrees of 'friendliness' or 'unfriendliness'. (Not to be confused with being 'polite' or 'unpolite'.) Even though I still speak the language fluently, I am no longer 'from there', I am a bit of a 'stranger', a 'foreigner'.
Polish people are at first distrustful, because they're afraid and shy/insecure. Hence this wall between you. But like you said, once they warm up, it's friendship HARD. Provided you find the right people, they're very loyal friends.
_"Polish people are at first distrustful, because they're afraid and shy/insecure"_ *** Now compare the Poles with the Japanese. In Japan, you can literally break down. :P
Nie wiem co powiedzieć. Wszystko zależy na kogo trafisz po drodze. Ale generalnie w przeciwieństwie do wcześniejszych czasów ( przed przystąpieniem do uni europejskiej) gdzie powiedzenie gość w dom, bóg w dom było wizytówką polaków ( może nie wszystkich), dużo się zmieniło. Więc jeśli nie chcesz doświadczać dyskomfortu, lepiej mieć przyjaciela lub przewodnika. A jeśli chodzi gdze popadniesz to zależy od przyjaciela lub przewodnika. W każdym państwie jest wiele światów i przestrzeni.
6:50 and there is about this topic a weird thing that when Polish people go to more open and more social countries they feel FREE as birds. There is in Poland this aura of hostility and distrust toward other people. Actually when foreigners come here they have easier to socialize be cause Polish people have distrust only toward eachother - toward other polish people. It's weird. Our country has been polarized for centuries by occupants. To this day we are polarized. People who rule this country practice an old roman empire motto "divide et impera/divide and rule". They constantly initiate conflicts in society in order to remain power - we have 2 party dictatorship like in america. Country is being constantly divided on 2 political groups. I think this is why Poland is not very socially open. Our occupants in warsaw are dividing us every day - this is how they remain in power which give them oportunities to rob us in taxes everyday. Unfortunately Polish people dont see this cynical game they participate in - they are totallu unaware of fakeness of those conflicts - those conflicts are initiated only to steal their money and freedom. A country and society that is divided from within and have huge distrust toward eachother is easy to control - those political mobsters know it and they ruthlessly use it against us.
Hello sis, this issue of the Language, I'm hoping to come next year as a student by God's grace. Pls is it a must i speak Polish to survive and to get a job aswell? What type of jobs are available for HR after studies. I've watched some of your video BTW
Most young people speak English at least a little but to feel comfortable you should learn some Polish you may use in everyday situations like shopping.
don't worry about anything, most your problems come out out the fact that poland is very homogenous coutry, and pepople are just shy and insecure meeting non polish speaking person. I speak perfect polish with different accent and I'm always pointed out, so just keep doing what you're doing, you cant make everybody happy :)
Poland is undergoing the process of transformation from a closed society into an open one so things will only get better. More and more Poles speak English, they travel a lot and are exposed to different cultures. With your pleasant personality, cheerfulness and positive attitude, I'm sure your future in Poland looks bright (if you decide to stay there). Good luck.

Just eat fatty foods for colder climates like duck fat pig fat spread on toasted bread with 🥓 bacon , vodka shot...(you burn it walking a lot in Poland, Europe) layer up not just cloths LoL (check out also Kalesony), oh and Poles use fatty or I should rather say havy oily skin cream like Nivea .. Anyways Best of all from Pole in USA.
This is the 3rd video that scare me and decide to stop my planning study in poland bc in other video I heard about pole people see black people like puckish and don't treat like other by renting apartments and in bus they first check black people's tickets, that's bad.

im native pole and sadly i have to agree:(( many poles arent like that but older (sometimes young too) are gonna treat u bad if u are not white, if u live in the capital or diffrent bigger city its not that awful but its more expensive as well and if u dont know polish u will have a huge problem with finding good job or talking to someone. I would say that if u only gonna stay here for studies then come but i dont know if i would recommend staying for longer:(
@@klaudia161 oh God 🤦♀️ I know there are some bad black people but not because they're black and Africa is a continent so there is many different cultures and personality we're not bad 😒 anyway I'll reach poland in march 1 I have to tolerance this situation for my education up to 3yr let God bless me a patience
@Tewobstya Sissaye , You don't have to be worried about that. Like Klaudia ha as said, not all people are bad. Polish people are nice when you find the good ones. So come for your studies, you will be fine. 🙂
@@princesschichi i agree!! and if u are not gonna meet poles then probably u will have a lot of friends at ur university who are in the same situation as u are. just be urself and try to not care about mean people. i'd also recommended to learn few basic polish words before your arrival:)
I am Nigerian and I got admission to study masters in management in Vistula university and I am resuming February next year. Is there a way I can get in touch with you for you to take me on basic steps to make my stay in Poland better? Or someone's contact please thank you looking forward to your feedback.

Regarding talking about politics. First of all, it's a bad idea to talk about politics if you're in a foreign country. It's not that it's inappropriate, it's about competence. Such a conversation will at most boil down to comments about who has a nicer tie. Secondly, unfortunately democracy has reached such a level that most people (voters!) aren't able to talk about anything other than ties and emotions. These people have been deliberately led to this point. One politician put it bluntly - that the only topic should be whether there's hot water in the tap. It's just easier to manage that way. The result is that a patented idiot is elected as an MP, who in the face of a hybrid war arranges comedies on the state border. His voters weren't even convinced by the further, predictable development of the situation to a full-scale war. It's not true Poles don't talk about politics. The older generation even talks too passionately. Most of the young are deliberately distracted from serious topics. And it's done openly, just like this message about hot water - it's enough to look at the cultural message and its reception. But democracy in general is a management of emotions and people are also just tired of the subject. I don't know what form conversations about politics take in Nigeria? Small talks?
