Work / I'm moving to poland; I got sick of the London lifestyle. Find work? [27]

Hi im and Englishman with a Polish girlfriend and we have decided to move to Poland as we are sick and tired of the london lifestyle, can anyone give me information on how i could go about finding work over there as i dont speak that much polish but am learning now and what would be the best sort of work to get into for someone with limited language over there. We are also thinking about driving our car there to save money on tickets and having to ship our stuff there so any info on being allowed to drive a right hand drive in poland or even being able to sell the car when we get there. Thank you

I m moving to a little village called Kunow about 45km from Kielce, i have the phrase book Berlitz and im amazed at how good it is, it actually helps english people to pronounce the polish language a lot easier. Here in the UK i work as a recovery driver/delivery driver. We plan to move there depending on work but if its not possible we will keep tracking back to UK and work and bring money back to build house and maybe start up a new buisness in the local town, maybe a english themed bar and do kareoke nights as there is nothing like that in the local town ( ostrowiec) although they are really going places there with a new shopping galleria including a tesco so might be an ideal site for a new bar. Still not sure about the driving side tho as i hear from polish friends here that a good bet would be to buy a diesel car here and drive it there maybe a vw or audi as they will sell over there quite easily if you find the right buyer who would be willing to convert it, I also hear that cars are expensive to buy in poland, my girls dad just bought renault megane year 98 for 11000zl over here would cost less than 700 pound.

A polish guy here im friends with said you can take cars there but they need to be converted to left hand drive before you sell them so that the buyer can register it or you just knock it of the price and let them sort it out being converted. I really dont know what to do :-(

Life / Who has moved to Poland in the last year? Swap stories. [115]

hi guys
well im new to this forum, not quite sure how it works yet... but
im irish and still living in ireland with a great polish girl. we have been together a few years now and she has asked me to move to polska with her, but im not sure,

can you give me any advice on jobs for none skilled worker (im a sales manager here but i use english a lot in that) someone mentioned teaching english?????

also what about the language barrier is it as bad as i think. my polish is not near fluent now

Im also moving to poland in few monthes and i think the language barrier is gonna be hard, i found out about teaching english but i think you need some sort of course to be allowed to teach it, im gonna give it a go teaching private as im sure many poles would love to learn from a true english man, if all else fouls guess ill wash cars :-) Dave20910 where in poland you moving too?

So would you say its a possibility to teach english privately, although i dont speak much polish at the moment my gf says many polish people like to take classes in english conversations where you dont speak polish to encourage them to just speak english.
