Who has moved to Poland in the last year? Swap stories. [115]
Hi Dave!!
'm sure this is a bit late but USIT and prob others offer a weekend / week long TEFL course at home. you might be able to do it over christmas if you're already in Poland. its worth having it
I moved here in Sepember this year and so far I love it. I'm lucky in that my boss is an angel, so insurance numbers etc are all organised for me, she even deals with my landlord, I've never even met him!!
its a lo different to home, I will admit that, but then again, I worked in Dunnes Stores for a year, I'm used to being surruned by people speaking Polish all day lol.
I've been taking Polish lessons (organised by my boss again gotta love her) for a few weeks, and this is a smallish town, so people are amused by my lack of Polish rather than annoyed by it, as people would react to a lack of English in Ireland. I work in a private school, and the younger students get a kick out of teaching me random polish words and my mangled pronunciation. they are starting to get wary of how much I understand though... shot themselves in the foot there!
I havnt got a bank account so far. Im not brave enough to chance it! maybe this month when I get paid. Same with a mobile phone. I'm using my Irish number.
ts hard to make friends though, which I hadn't really thought about before I got here. luckly I like my own company and I brought all my Killnaskully and two pints DVD's!!!
if anyone can lay their hands on some salk and viniger tayto / hunky Dorys even walkers or a can of Bumers, I'll swap you 40 barrys teabags!!!
