Polish hip hop bible and language
Polish hip hop bible and language learning
A while back I bought a Polish bible to help me learn Polish. It made sense as the stories I knew, the vocabulary was basic, and it was something I enjoyed and could read over and over again. But the problem was the most modern Polish translation was in my opinion a little more modern than the king James bible. And learning Polish sentence structure and vocabulary turned out to be, rather, interesting. Further I did not want to walk down the street using a Polish that would be like Shakespearean English.
Polish hip hop bible to the rescue
I found a Polish hip hop gospel of John, translated in a respectful way but using the language of today. It is amazing in the way they creatively use the language and the vocabulary is the most current there is. In my opinion it is not how a person speaks, but what he has to say that is important and communication is best when it speaks the language of the people who are listening.
