Work / New English 'teacher' in Poland (I have no qualifications). [119]

it makes it more fun for you and your student, i have a laugh with mine and it makes them more relaxed so English comes to them more easier when they are relaxed, I know the feeling when trying to learn a new language and you are nervous you get mind block.

i'm finding flash cards very useful they are sold in either small packs or large and on 1 side it has something in English for instance Happy birthday and in polish on the other side (it also helps me with my polish) i will show them the polish side and ask them what it is in English if some things they don't know i will show them, usually they know when they see it and then i will ask them to tell me about their last birthday or what ever the topic is, i have fun with it because there are so many different topic's to choose from, also English magazine are helpful we pick out something to talk about, i also enjoy the lesson this way and it doesn't seem so much like "teaching" : )

i'm a native speaker in Wroclaw and some off you are right about teaching although i have no qualifications to start with it was hard, i only have conversations with students and its all about making it interesting and confidence is a key because you do have to correct them and the more you do the more they realise you are here to help with their English. I don't think because i'm a native that for sure i'll be able to teach i did do research and alway prepare for my lessons with each individual person.

But i'm still pretty new to this and it can be difficult that's why this summer i'm going to try a teaching course because a lot of schools are looking for this.

Life / Irish man wanna move to Poland [60]

I don't think i went through those stages, Yes I miss my friends and family but iam not depressed over it lol.
My boyfriend is Polish and teaches me the best things about Poland like the culture, history and family, I'm an English native and i come from England I teach English although i'm without a certificate and will be taking the TEFL in the summer i am still working with a school and have many private students.

I like it here and anyone who wants to move here I say go for it, yes it may not be for everyone but enjoy this country and culture and in the summer is the best time to see Poland they show there true bright colours.

i'm an English native and i have moved here with my polish bf 6 months ago and i have had no problems people here are friendly and nice and i was surprised that a lot of polish knew a little English if i ever needed help of course i'm not saying there are no faults as we all have different experiences but just not 2 worry about moving here enjoy it. i'm teaching English here for the first time ever and i actually enjoy it.

Peace and take care

Life / What breeds of dogs are now popular in Poland? [40]

hey i have seen many different breeds here but what gets me is they are not with there owners but wondering the streets i was almost in a accident with my boyfriend when we were driving along and a dog ran out in front of us luckly we nor the dog was hurt

But i am interested in bring my dogs over in the new year but can not bring then in to my apartment as iam not aloud so iam wondering if there is anywhere in wroclaw that may be willing to house them for me of course i would walk, feed and groom then myself i just need housing, until i can find something more suitable.

If anyone knows i would be so happy to hear
