To-infinitive

Okay, I landed in Poland. It's time for me to see my father

The imperative

Let's see how this is gonna go. I think we gonna have a good time

Let me remember this forever.. having my first beer with my dad

Hey, so here's something different. I'm in Poland right now.

he told me that he was gonna be visiting Poland so he could see some of his family and after Martina's father passed away

she told me that I should really go because this is a chance that I might not get again in the future

I've never been to Poland with my dad and now that he's getting older

I'm not sure how many more chances I'm gonna get

This is gonna be a chance for me to connect with my roots in a way that I've never been able to do before

I'm visiting my father's hometown in Płock

I know nothing about it. I know nothing about the family that we're gonna meet there

talk to them and hear their stories and in the process learn a little bit about myself as well and at the same time

this is something that is really making my dad really happy, so I'm..

thrilled to be able to do this and I hope you like the video that I show you today

My dad really wants me to eat cow stomach soup. It's a very polish thing to do

Oh yeah, how you doing big boy? Oh, yeah. Look at you, you big old doggy..

You see this big dog I want a big boy like this

Fortunately, he's a Polish dog. So he doesn't understand English

You sweet boy. Oh, you sweet boy. This is my video of Poland from now on. No more family. Just doggie

When they finally pried me away from Max we drove over to Andrzej's just

beautiful beautiful house, and that's where we're gonna meet a surprise relative

Andrzej told my dad that he'd have to guess who this person was

Because they haven't seen or spoken with each other in nearly 40 years

more of this amazing men story in just a bit

Well, that was a hell of a night for me last night and one that I'm not gonna forget

Last night was a very different experience for me because I don't speak Polish as well as I speak English and I found myself

Stumbling. I'd want to be able to convey something but there're words that just don't know. Now, I would lose my momentum and I'd get frustrated

And I actually had to apologize because of I said

I'm usually a lot faster and I'm actually funny in English

Sometimes not all the time, but sometimes and I couldn't really convey that

So a lot of last night I spent listening. I got to hear a lot of other people stories

I got to hear a lot of stories from my dad

That I never heard before and just sitting back and listening for the nights

Because I saw the way that my dad was able to

talk to everybody the way that he could tell his stories the way that he got everybody to laugh and the way that he really

controlled the crowd in some ways in ways that I really haven't seen him do

..in English and I felt really proud, you know felt really

Just real nice to see my dad in that light

Dad, you're real cool, dude, and I wish that I could hear you speak more Polish more often in crowds like this

But while I'm here and while I have your attention allow me to introduce you to some of the family members

I don't know how this cuts gonna go. But let's hope it turns out all right

This guy is my dad's uncle but thirty years younger than my dad because I think

By the way, if you're 60 and still having kids it's time for you to get snipped. All right, just... just leave your poor wife alone.

S: Which one; the third, fourth?  D: In the middle

In the first part of the video I was with my dad in Płock

and I got to see his side of the family that I never got to meet before

And I'm visiting my auntie Zuza who's on my mom's side of the family and 20 years ago when I visited

Poland and I was here for I think I was I think it was a month that I was here

and it's... it's great to be back. It's great to see my aunt still doing well.. her husband

now my cousin has two of their own kids and it's weird because they've seen my YouTube videos and I'm kind of embarrassed

But the point is I get to play with doggies and that's the most important part of this trip

I get to play with lots of doggies. Come here. You beautiful doggy you yes, you are

I can't tell you how happy I am to play with all of these nice doggies

When I visited my aunt last I couldn't actually eat any of her food because I had my braces done and

today was the first day that I could try her home cooking. This is tomato salad with breaded chicken
