Work / I'm 19, born in Poland, raised in the U.S. Moving to Poland..or not? [25]
Korek,
I feel my situation is a tad similar to yours.
I'm an Irish/Pole, however, I was born in England and grew up here my whole life.
I attended polish saturday school up to 6th class.
Then I left, but I continued with Polish language at school (I was lucky enough to have a polish speaking teacher willing to teach me working at my school).
The class consisted of two people, just me and Arek.
Together we completed our Polish GCSE, and A2 levels.
I feel this has kept up my polish language/writing skills to a decent level.
I know none of my Irish family I mean absolutley zero and all my Polish family are in Poland :(
So are most of my friends, and my long term boyfriend also lives in Poland.
I really want to move back to Poland, however I wouldn't do it right away.
I know things with my boyfriend might change so I'm not rushing over to live with him right away, we are both willing to ride it out and wait, I don't think you should be rushing over for the girls either.
I'm planning on staying in the UK for Uni completing an Econ/Russian Degree.
The education here is amazing and cheap for a home student.
I'm sure it would be the same for you in the US, you would also be of more value to potential polish employers.
Although if you wish you might consider taking a TESOL course and applying to teach english at the independant schools in Poland?
You have forever to move their so do try and get some fall back before you take the leap, it might not always work out.
