UK, Ireland / To Polish people living in the UK - how much your English improved? [16]

Hey,

I was just wondering to anyone who may have come to work in the Uk, what level was yuor english at and do you think it has improved, if so how and how long did it take before you feel comfortable?

The reason I ask this question is my girlfriend is here now and she is learning well but is lucky to be having lessons, her teacher mentioned he knows some polish people who have been here for 4 years and still have only a basic understanding.

Love / What to buy my Polish girlfriend for Christmas? [9]

Hi,

Well i will be spending Christmas with my girlfriend (who is Polish) this year in England, its the first time she's been away from home for Christmas so i want to make it special, what can I do that might put a smile on her face or can you recommend any gifts that she might not expect, it doesnt have to be expensive but something she would be surprised.

Thanks.
