A Glimpse of Poland - Radom

A Glimpse of Poland. A few minutes long video clip of my town, and only my town - because why not promote the whole country by showing just one city :-). Besides, heck, Radom also deserves a promo video, even if an amateur one.
Radom też zasługuje na eksportowy klip promocyjny - nawet, jeśli tylko amatorski. Jeśli cudzoziemiec - a w szczególności Amerykanin - zapyta Was, jak właściwie wygląda ta Polska - a w szczególności jak wygląda Radom - to być może mój filmik na coś się przyda. Innymi słowy kawał dobrej (ok, przynajmniej według mnie), nikomu niepotrzebnej roboty :-).
Zapraszam na lekcje angielskiego - www.e-korepetycje.net/padawan1...
Tłumaczenie tego mówionego początku:
„Jak wielu z was potrafi powiedzieć kilka słów o Europie? Podnieście ręce! Jest całkiem zróżnicowana, co nie?
A jak wielu z was potrafi powiedzieć kilka słów o Polsce? No właśnie, jedynie garstka. Ponieważ Polsce, jak się wydaje, zawsze brakowało właściwej promocji. Ale jak wielu z was chciałoby dowiedzieć się trochę o tym europejskim kraju? Pozwólcie mi więc być waszym gospodarzem, albo przewodnikiem, jeśli wolicie... W końcu Polska jest moim domem."

Dziękuję, za tak pięknie pokazane moje miasto Radom 👍🏻😊

[@lidia4709]

I currently live in the UK but one of my grand lives in Radom. And although I visit about twice a year I love seeing other people go there. I remember all the places and it make me happy.

[@danielspoerle9657]

I love your hometown! I hope to live in Poland someday 🙂

[@nated0gggg]

Thanks for this video. My grandparents were Jews born in Radom and I have never seen any photos or anything.

[@wayfaringstranger8586]

Wow, so nice to hear that... Before the war the Jews constituted about a third of the city's population. I could have included in my video a monument which currently stands in the place where Radom's synagogue once stood - before the Germans burnt it down. As far as I know this monument is the only sign of Jewish presence here at the moment... At around 6:30 mark, when you can see the yellow-white church, I am filming from where the ghetto was located during the occupation - the synagogue was just two blocks away. Your grandparents must have walked this street... and must have seen most of the places shown in the video - besides the ones that hadn't been built back then :-).
Your grandparents are/were Holocaust survivors, am I right? And you sir, you live in Australia. Twisted, people's paths are :-).

[@nated0gggg]

the.bilingual.sparrow I'm so sorry for not replying! I don't know what happened :-\
Thank you so much for sharing that information. That's just right. They came here after the war because they found out someone had moved here beforehand.
I have never been to Poland but I'm considering trying to visit in 2015. I'm also considering learning a bit of Polish (but I don't know when I'll have time and mental space with my other languages and university :-\).
It looks like a lovely place! I can't express how thankful I am for you sharing it :-)

[@wayfaringstranger8586]

nated0gggg Good to hear from you again! Say... I teach English to Polish people at home, and even though I've never done it before I could perhaps do it the other way round - that is to teach Polish to an English speaking person. I've got a decent camera so Skype is certainly viable. The problem is I'm somewhat out of date and depend heavily on old-fashioned printouts... But if you were ever up to it at some point, drop me a line. Also, if you ever come to Radom, I'll try to show you around. It would be nice to get to know someone from another part of the globe.AND I'm just about to upload a new video about Poland... perhaps it'll give you another glimpse of the land of your fathers. I'm having some issues with YT not being able to process my video (so I'll have to make do with poorer quality), but it should be up either today or tomorrow Polish time, so stay tuned :-).

Dzięki za miłe słowa, bo takie było zamierzenie :-). Chciałem pokazać Amerykanom (z którymi od czasu do czasu komunikuję się na forach czy mailowo) jak wygląda Polska, bo o ile wykazują oni duże zainteresowanie Europą, to o naszym kraju nie wiedzą prawie nic. A że dla mnie Polska od jakiegoś już czasu to głównie Radom, to chciałem, żeby tytułowy "rzut oka" dotyczył naszego miasta. Jest flaga, jest godło, są ludzie... Jakoś ten filmik - mam nadzieję - prezentuje obcokrajowcowi Polskę i Radom :-).

[@woutschouten3142]

Nice to see this picture of Radom the homtown of my Polish sweatheart, been there once but wil surely go there more often.

[@wayfaringstranger8586]

Wout Schouten glad you enjoyed the video :-)

[@kasiawegorzewska8588]

Radom! My home! ^.^ My home is Radom! ^.^

[@wayfaringstranger8586]

Thanks to whoever gave the thirty-fifth like - this video lacks likes, heh.
Dziękuję za trzydziestego piątego lajka :-).

[@kasiawegorzewska8588]

Ja z Radomia ;p

[@j.m.7880]

Radom-This is my City

[@Schothorst24]

[@luk9344]

[@wayfaringstranger8586]

Thanks :-). Titles of the songs are in the description, you need to scroll down. Przewinąć opis trzeba :-).

[@luk9344]
