Life / WHY POLISH PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR NATIVE FIRST NAME WHEN ABROAD? [136]

my ex was called Piotrek too and it always annoyed me when he told people his name was Peter because Piotrek isn't difficult to pronounce! The one name people always had problems with where I worked was Przemek, it took ages for people to get it right! As for surnames, well thats another story altogether!

Life / WHY POLISH PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR NATIVE FIRST NAME WHEN ABROAD? [136]

the majority of Polish people I've met have always introduced themselves with their real names and no ones ever had a problem, though out of all I've met there were only about 6 names between them with 3 or 4 people working in the same place with the same name, usually Tomek, Radek or Marek. (ok they didn't use the long version, that may have been a bit difficult for us paddys they were working with!)

love the Polish names so hope more stick to their real name and not with the 'English' version.

Work / where to teach in Poland? [5]

i did that already but they're mostly about the qualifcations you need and I know that already. My question concerned where would be a good place to go both for teaching and enjoying life in Poland from a native Poles and other teachers perspective.
