how not to make stupid mistakes in my entries?
I came across a nice journal tonight only to realize how poor my English is. I wonder if I will ever be able to become multilingual. Plus, after meeting prof. Majewicz I can no longer think that being fluent with more than two languages is impossible. He's fluent with ten. And able to communicate in another thirty. Amazing, isn't he?
For me, I'm in constant lack of vocabulary, not to mention grammar mistakes I tend to make out of laziness. You know, English has tenses, mysterious creations that produce a maze out of simple was, is, will be. I somehow know that objectively speaking, my mother-tongue is far more complicated (in different fields though), but it is no use outside the country. Being proud, fluent Polish-speaker won't lead me anywhere.
If any people from western EU countries were reading this post, they could probably thing something along the lines of 'great, another Polish trying to steal our jobs instead of setting up a business on her own ground'. From one point of view they would be right, only they probably never tried setting up a business in such a crazy place like we have here. Another thing is that I simply need to live in a big city. Bigger than our sorry-one-and-a-half-million-ass Warsaw. I don't care where it is (albeit I would fancy a warm place), just let it be a metropolis.
By the way, in this day and age, what does it mean to 'be' Polish, German, South-African etc? Am I glued to a country just because I was born in there? If the place meant for me was set up on Moon, I'd certainly go there. Just need to learn Moon-inhabitants language before. And that's where the circle closes.
