Law / Do you need a work / residence permit for Poland (EU national)? [9]

Hiya

I'm an EU-national (Brit) going to work in Poland for a few months; obviously I don't need a visa, but I hear some countries require additional work permits or residence permits to allow you to stay there for an extended period of time. Does anyone know if I need to apply for anything like this?

Thanks :)

Life / Spending a few months in Poland [23]

Hi :)

I'm considering moving to Poland for a half year or so with my work (tri-city), but I've never been there before so I thought I'd get some more information about it.

I don't speak any Polish (although I'm trying to learn :p) How much of a disadvantage would this be in day-to-day life? Does your average Polish person speak some English / German?

Can anyone tell me what the cost of living would be like, eg monthly cost of renting a flat, food, transport, stuff like that?

I hear a lot of people teach English, either as their main job in Poland or part-time. Is this easy / fun to do?

Thanks :)
