Hi,


(I'll put this over here as well:))


As I ve mentioned I'm in the throws of learning Polish.

I'm just starting to write stuff now (to focus what I know) but am stuck with producing the accents and stuff ona UK keyboard.

Can any one recommend a good way of over coming this?



BTW; also of speeding the learing process....ist frustarting as I would like to be producing some basic conversations at work......but my recall is of about 10% of what I know. I feel I now have quite alot of word knwledge buts its a big jig saw at the moment.

I've doing Paul Pimsleur courses which are excellent......but slow.

Going to Poland is not an (expensive!) option!

Have you installed Polish in the languages on your computer (I am assuming you are using Windows?)
Control Panel/ regional options/ languages

I added Czech in this way, and the language bar at the bottom of the screen has the option to change keyboard to Czech.

Je velmi dobrý pro česky.
 
The Pimsleur courses are good, if basic, but tend to concentrate only on listening/speaking. (My wife is slowly learnning Arabic this way - I quickly learned the Arabic for "I don't speak Arabic!")

i thouight it was fair enough to start here...

AS i've noted on pf.....I feel as though there must be better method....the scale of the task is daunting.

AS the guy said its not about learning words which is what I am doing at the moment.

With the polish language selected:

Ą ą -- [Alt Gr] + A
Ć ć -- [Alt Gr] + C
Ę ę -- [Alt Gr] + E
Ł ł --- [Alt Gr] + L
Ó ó -- [Alt Gr] + O
Ś ś -- [Alt Gr] + S
Ź ź -- [Alt Gr] + X
Ż ż -- [Alt Gr] + Z

not getting this to work

any clues?
 
I'm not sure, but with Czech - once I had installed the language and input keyboard through Control Panel, I selected it on the language bar at the bottom of the screen, and then experimented with keyboard to find letters I wanted. I found that the + sign followed by a, e, y i gave me á é ý í, and the shift and + followed by r, s or c gave me ř, š č. ů was found in place of ;.

It took a little experimentation, and asking czech friends for help with some things.
 
Keeps jumping back to UK kez board

Iąm using a remote control mouse..donąt know whether thats any thing

I seem to have done some thing to the As....

+zs are now ys...


hmmmm....
 
Just just not getting this to work at all.

Its not often I come up against quite such a brick wall.

Could it be because I using a nonstandard (logi tech/ remote) key board?
 
GOt it at long last ....except alt grd E gives me mesh support not a polish "E".

Any one know how to change this?

Unfortunately, unhelpful programs (Internet Explorer, for example) can pinch use of the AltGr key if they feel the need!

What does Ctrl + Alt + E give you?
