I want to learn a bit of polish as i will be travelling to Poland next year to learn more about my roots. How is the attitude there when talking to people who can barely speak the language, but want to try nonetheless?

I get the difference between pierwsza liczba and liczba pierwsza, but what about demonstratives? In an example I’ve read just today, why is ten used like an adjective, once before, and once after a corresponding noun?

“Widać też, że region ten, jest bardzo słabo zaludniony.
- Na mapie zaznaczona jest miejscowość, a to był tylko, ten jeden dom tutaj? - zauważam ze zdziwieniem.”

So „this single house” is “ten jeden dom”

And “this region” could be “ten region”, but we get “region ten”

Cześć, community! I am a super curious person and Polish happened to appear on my list of interests. I play Wiedźmin in Polish and listen to some Polish music, and I would love to find me a friend who could help me with learning🤍❤️ Would be great if you could also communicate (or maybe you want to be able to communicate) in Russian, it is way easier to understand the grammar when using two languages of the same family.
