May my remark was misundersood. I meant that people generally have some kind of prejudice about foreigners. E.g. they are worry about their job to be taken by foreigners, or sg like that. Despite this, they can smile or not it doesn't matter if they have a general attitude towards foreigners :)

I hope nobody misunderstands my words. I only think that, there are some more open-minded nations who do not care with where you're from (!Vancouver!)

I'm gonna take my bike, what do you know about biking routes in Kraków? Which part of the city is the easiest to cycle? I haven't chosen accommodation, yet. which part do you suggest NOT to move to?

Sean! Thanks for your encourage.
I know it won't be easy but to learn the polish language the best way is to move there for a while, i think.

My father is Polish(living in Budapest), i used to speak native polish, sadly i have forgotten because we never used it at home. Now, it's high time for me to pick up the language in an acceptable level. i just graduated this year, my contract with my previous employer expired, so i thought the time has come to deal with Polish; easy until i have no bounds...

Necramancer!
I have read some writings about the decreasing culture-level in Kraków, and due to this the locals' unfavourable attitude towards foreigners. because of this i'm worried a bit, but i hope since it's a student city I will find multicultural companies too to entertain and help each other.

I involved the accommodation costs, maybe you are right...
and how about the deposit for an appartment? is it regular in Pl? for how many months do they ask in advance?
I hope it's not requested by all... :)

Thanks Polson!
I'm expecting to get there :)
Anyway, how much is the minimum salary in Poland?
I just counted, about 1000 zl could be enough for a month, and as an occasional worker (I don't know how it's said in english), you know: help in a café, in a kitchen or somewhere I can drive myself in english..., how much could I ask for an hour? :)

Another question:
labour-exchange
anyone knows a good labour-exchange in Kraków? mainly for students, or for people with 6-month experience

cheers

Language / Polish Language Exams [4]

Wow! :)
Thank you for the answers! I didn't suppose so helpful people :)
As an addition I would have another question. In Hungary there are two types of the language exams: general and professional (e.g. economic ~ : the main topics are relating to economics, and it certificates your business language skills). In Poland are there any similar one to the second?

I tried to study this page: buwiwm.edu.pl/certyfikacja/ but it's over my Polish knowledge... :(

Thank you for everything!
