The majority of it is in English, but I've translated the Polish parts of this interview :P
"I'll try to say it in Polish. My mom, Agnieszka, and my dad, Tomek, they were born in Warsaw and they moved to the USA when I was born. At home everything was in Polish. When I was little we talked in Polish [Paul says the rest of this sentence in English]. But right now it is only English. I speak Polish a little bit. I'm trying."
That's it. Some of the sentences sound clumsy in Polish, so I kinda kept their original structure (hoping that English is much more flexible than my native language). At the end of this clip Paul apologizes for not being fluent in Polish. :)
You're welcome :) His Polish is really good, all things considering. I think he was struggling with certain words, but that's understandable. His accent is not that bad either. In my opinion his biggest problem is that he's too shy to truly show his skills.
Thank you very much for the translation. I've never heard Paul speaking his native language and I thought it was great to hear it because I'm a language lover (:
I understand he being shy to show his skills, because I'm quite shy to speak in a language I believe I'm not so fluent, so I really understand him.
Thank you again (: btw, the names in Polish are so cool!!!
