    I can get you help. I have Polish people working with me.

    I wish I could speak it. :(

    I'm half Polish and all I can say is "I'm sorry I can't speak Polish, I'm English" :rolleyes:

    Is it text to translate? If so I can get my mum to take a look if it's desperate.

    It's just that I want to know how to ask someone out... :blush: Don't need to say it, just write it.

    My mum's first language is Polish. She's downstairs. Let me know what you want to say, and I'll tell you how to say it :D

    Left to my own devices, I could tell you thanks for my dinner, or that Mr George owns a cucumber. Useful, I'm sure you'll agree.

    That must confuse them if you see what I mean.

    Erm... I don't know. That's half the battle. I'm worried I'll come out with a total anglicism or something. I guess it just needs to say, "Happy Valentine's Day. Will you go out with me?" Or something. I dunno that sounds so clinical.

    Gah! Women!

    :lol: Why on earth do you know that?

    I don't know any Polish apart from that 'w' is pronnounced in the way English people say 'v' and vice versa.

    I know. Confused the hell out of me when they replied with (an assumed) "What do you mean you can't speak Polish??"

    Ha ha, put on the spot the best she could come up with was 'Moc ca?usów kochanie w dzien swietego Valentyna' which apparently means 'many kisses dear (or equivalent general term of endearment) on the day of St Valentine'.

    It's less clinical, I'll give her that :lol:

    Thanks, Kaff!

    I bloody hate Valentine's Day; I've never had to deal with this before.

    My aunt told me. It rhymes (Pan Jurek ma ogurek), and she thought she was funny.

    Ooh, and where it's come out as a question mark, it's actually this letter (basically an l with a diagonal line through):
