Yeah - it's the American who "can't be bothered" to learn your native tongue.
I met a nice Bulgarian lady today who had very little command of English and I did what it took to get this ability to greet you.
Oh, so now you are, perhaps, thinking "Thank You".
And I didn't think to ask her how to say "You are welcome".
Sometimes I'm such a potato head.
I know, I know - start walking the plank, Nick.
Don't stop until you make the splash.
Hangin' out with you Pirate type can really get rough.
And now when I ask the internet for a translation of Hello it says my stuff is bogus.
Well, I'm tryin' and that's gotta count for somethin'.
Such a potato head.

You made my day (night, it’s 11:50), thank you!
Of course it counts, I truly believe you learn something new every day so don’t walk the plank just yet, there is a whole world to experience.

I kinda feel bad now that I said you can’t be bothered to learn Polish, you know it was a joke, right?

You are correct that the average person is so self consumed they would not make much effort to bridge the gap across cultures.
But I ain't an average person.
(Smiling at you now)
So continue writing.
