YEs michal. But look you are on an internet forum and look how many people you manage to offend. Also when people try to translate something to English, you take great pleasure in laughing at them and putting them down(not something a teacher should do) also you have nothing good to say about Poland. Can you imagine what your free conversation classes would be like??? Ha ha. Also all you can talk about is when you were a student, can you imagine telling this to a group if teenagers?? They would fall asleep in minutes.
I have no doubt that you could get a job as an English teacher here, I just wonder how long it would be before they would say "dowidzenia Michal".
The strange thing about you is that you mentioned you had to study Polish, so at some point in your life you must have spoke Polish terribly, however when someone else cant do it you put them down. Again this is not the behaviour of a teacher. I think you have made a smart choice not using your TEFL anywhere. Also most schools look for CELTA now.
Michal it is an English school. There are hundreds of teachers who are teaching English in schools that dont know how to speak Polish. I didnt believe this and that is why I didnt think I would get a job here. At the end of the day people go to and English school ,believe it or not, to speak English. If there are any problems with translations there are many teachers on hand to help. It can actually be good for a student when they cant remember a word , to have a teacher who cant help them because then they must find a way to describe what they want to say. This in turn leads to us discovering the word and also helps them to prepare for the time when they will be speaking with someone English and they are not able to remeber a word.

If you can not even speak Polish then how on God's earth can you do tranlation work in class
