You are helpful as usual

Yes, All Saints Day I think. A very big thing in Poland, people go to the graves of deceased loved ones and light candles and such.

Here is a nice article on it.

This has been a great help

Vincent, have you seen the book "Basic Polish: A Grammar and Workbook" by Dana Bielece. It's not cheap (per page) but it is pretty good... Bite-sized lessons and exercises.

Love / Polish Girl ruining my sleep [30]

Seriously Francoise, if you can't get the Polish girl to go out with you after a year then it's probably not going to happen. She probably sees you as a brother or father figure now.
