The Importance of Learning Polish

When I first started learning Polish, it was on a whim.  I didn't really expect big things from it, but it has become the single most important thing that I've learned.  While in Germany, I was  able to get out a few mangled sentences to the Poles there and their hearts melted.

Now, years later, I still struggle with Polish but everyday I am more and more thankful that I picked it up.

Here is an article, which I found immensely entertaining, about some fellows in Ireland (the Police) who ought to have had a few Polish lessons themselves.
