Please consider writing to me on my Silesian or Polish discussion page. Then I'll answer your question faster. Anyway, any comments or messages here will be also appreciated.

Angielski

Witam Pana Serdecznie! Och, strasznie przyjemnie mnie spotkać rodaka zza morza! Mieszka Pan w Anglii czy w USA? A może jeszcze dalej — w Australii? Oczywiście podstawą znajomości każdego jednego języka jest przede wszystkim używanie jego na codzień. Bowiem to, co człowiek nauczy się w szkole, nie zawsze odpowiada parktycznym wymogom. Szczególnie wtedy, jeżeli człowiek uczył się tego języka 40-50 lat temu i później wcale nie używał jego, bo po co? — tak jak to było w moim przypadku! W szkole uczyłem się rosyjskiego, angielskiego i niemieckiego. Rosyjski i niemiecki z przyczyn politycznych strasznie nienawidziłem. (Dziad jako oficer historycznej I-ej Brygady [a wcześniej Powstaniec Wielkopolski] wziął udział w wojnie przeciwko sowietom i od rosyjskiej kuli padł na Polu Chwały pod Lwowem. Dziad i pradzaid jako mieszkańcy Poznania walczyli przeciwko Niemcom, wujek i ciocia zosatli aresztowani przez Gestapo i trafili do obozz, z którego wujek nie wrócił, a ciocia została kaleką na całe życie.) Piłsudskiego Miałem wię “naciągnięte“ trójki. Angielski uwielbiałem i do końca miałem z niego piątkę. Ale w Anglii, USA itd nigdy nie byłem, języka nie używałem więc. Ponownie zaczynam używać go dopiero dzięki wikipedii, jeżeli oczywiście ktoś pomoże mnie w tym. I o ile dobrze zrozumiałem, to pan akurat zgłasza taką chęć pomocy, za którą z góry serdecznie dziękuję — przyda się! A rosyjski? Nienawidziłem jego, ale ponieważ tak się złożyło, że w Armenii — chwała 150-letniej rosyjskiej okupacji, większość Ormian mówi po rosyjsku a nie po ormiańsku, kiedy w latach dziewięćdziesiątych byłem dwukrotnie na ponad półletniej pielgrzymce do świętych miejsc Armenii (państwo, które pierwsze na świecie przyjęło chrzest!) — nauczyłem się świetnie nie po ormiańsku, a po rosyjsku! Bo jak już na wstępie to wspomniałem: praktyka dużo pomaga! A muszę jeszcze dodać, że na Węgrzech powszechna znajomość rosyjskiego jest więcej jak kiepska, bo za komuny wszystcy z nienawiścią gwizdali na rosyjski, nawet nauczyciele nie nauczyli się porządnie wymawiać rosyjskich słów! Dziś dzięki temu przydaje się moja znajomość rosyjskiego i języków państw ościennych. Ale Anglia i USA leżą tak daleko, że nawet na dwudniową wycieczkę nie wypuszczałem się tam… Z głębokim szacunkiem i poważaniem, jeszcze raz dziękując za zadeklarowanie pomocy: --Roland von Bagratuni 04:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC) In English...[reply]

Great job! Thanks for answering! Meldshal42 11:46, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Languages

Hi there, thanks a lot for your message - unfortunately, I won't be of much help since I basically "acquired" both languages rather than studying them formally - I did, however, take Ladino classes in college. So, no books or anything I could recommend. Sorry! Maphalda 16:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)--[reply]

Hey. The answer to your question can be found on my personal FAQ. Basically, I learned Kazakh originally in Kazakhstan on my own, and then studied it at Indiana University (Bloomington) over the summer. The have a really good summer programme. —Firespeaker 07:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hi Timpul. Just checking up on you. I wanted to wish you a happy November, and thanks for being so supportive of me! Sorry I haven't gotten to say hi lately, I've been busy. Sincerely, Meldshal 42 01:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Angel of Sadness

Hi Timpul, I noticed your note to Angel, as I have her talk page on my watchlist. I wanted to let you know that the "warning" that was given to you, was not done by her, as you can see by going into your talk page history, the edit was placed by an anonymous editor, who simply copied her warning to the anonymous editor, and for some strange reason, placed it here. Just so you know, Angel did not do it, and was most likely unaware that the anonymous editor did it, and you were right to remove it. I am sure if Angel had known about the anonymous editor doing such a thing, she would have removed it from your talk page immediately, she's a really kind and helpful editor. I hope this helps to clear things up about this! Unfortunate, but sometimes things like this happen, nonconstructive editors copy another editor's message/signature and place it as though the message was left by them.

Wicked Bible.

Working on it. It's not too bad. :) · AndonicO ^Engage. 20:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job learning thirteen languages, by the way. I'm quite jealous. · AndonicO ^Engage. 20:11, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I speak and read perfectly, but my spelling is terrible (and the accents kill me every time). You seem to be quite proficient in that aspect. Also, no language is useful, you're just either in the wrong place or time. ;) · AndonicO ^Engage. 22:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats!

You acquired adminship today on Silesian! I'm sure if I could read that userpage it would sound great... Congrats, Timpul. I'm trying to become an admin here now through coaching, and its quite tough. --Meldshal (§peak to me) 18:14, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Silesian

Hi Timpul, as a return, if you can. Could you translate the article Sugarcult into Silesian? Btw, Tq 4 ur message to my English talk page. I appreciate it very much. :) — Imran Al-Sahih 12:39, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silesian number of speakers

Hi,

I saw that you are requesting translation of the article Silesian language to other languages, for example at User talk:Chagai.

Do you have a reliable source about the number of speakers of this language? If you have a reliable source, please add it at least to the article in English. If not, then please stop requesting this translation, because you're spreading dubious data across Wikipedias in many languages.

Omniglot is not a reliable source - see my comment about it at Talk:Silesian language.

Thanks for understanding. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 08:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He continued vandalising so I have block him for 24 hours, just drop me a note anytime if it happens agains. Davewild (talk) 19:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, editing each others talk pages at the same time! Davewild (talk) 19:59, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have graduated!

Re:Polish

I called your edition vandalism only because of the division between linguists and "Polish linguists" you tried to introduce. Neko85 (talk) 13:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Right of way (shipping)

The article Right of way (shipping) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This stub is in poor English, it is unclear in what it is trying to say and uses a term which navigational textbooks never use. There is no "right of way", the regs only refer to a "stand-on" vessel (see rule 17).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
