Does anyone know where I can do crosswords in Polish on the internet? I think it my be a good way to improve my vocabulary. With English clues would be great. For tablet PC even better.

Language / Parallel texts - a useful learning resource? [7]
I'm getting to the stage where I need to practise my reading skills. Googling "Polish parallel texts" doesn't bring up many results so I thought maybe people could post some links here.
e.g. lonweb.org/daisy/ds-polish-nightwatch.htm - POLISH NIGHT WATCH

I got a taste for barszcz czerwony on my recent trips to Poland. Can anyone recommend any particular brands of these that you can buy in packet form. I have already tried "Wariany", which I quite enjoyed.

I've got MSN music streaming (which costs me £6 a month). There seem to be some Polish artists on there (not sure how many). You need to know the name of the artistes to find them, there doesn't seem to be any sort of browse by language/country option
Does anyone have any ideas?

There were lots of roads being dug up when i visited Krakow (this March), not too far away from where Polishgirl's lovely photo was taken.
