There's a town on the border of the Czech Republic and Poland called Cesky Tesin/Polsky Cieszyn that has a market where you can hear all the Czechs, Poles, and Slovaks chatting away with one another as they buy and sell their stuff.

I struggle to understand pretty much any of it when it's been spoken as well - usually can catch one or two words every now and again but that way that all the words seem to just merge into one long continuous word makes it difficult to get a foot in the door most of the time, reading it is much easier to understanding it being spoken, and speaking it is harder than reading it but still easier than understanding it being spoken i find

I find the same with French French speakers but not so much with French speaking African countries or Belgians.
It's disconcerting to speak to somebody in their own language and not understand their answer.

You've got to hear it constantly for a couple of years to really pick it up. Living in the country is obviously the best way to do this as you're totally immersed in it most of the time.
And at least the Poles don't usually start saying stuff like, 'What the fuck are you looking at? Jimmy.' Or 'Calm down, calm down.'
That's a pretty loose defınıtıon of 'socıal capıtal.' Some would call ıt 'braıns.'

Just a bıt. Ever read thıs notorıous account of TEFL teachers ın Cambodıa? It features at least one U75 poster (my lıps are fırmly sealed).
On the contrary, the dıfference between what people can do and what they wıll do never ceases to amaze me, and I fınd that partıcluarly true of posters on thıs thread.

I think I did read that a long time ago. I'm going to give it another go now.
my relationship with my local shopkeeper changed dramatically the first time I asked if I could use a milk token to buy fags
still, he said yes, so that was useful

I never had a bad reaction to milk tokens maybe it's because they're not that unusual for this area. And I could hand them straight to the milkman as well.
I actually think there were some I didn't use.
