Life / Do expats living in Poland speak Polish? [233]

Other expats I have met in my short time here have said they don't need it. That they can get around just fine without it.

I disagree. I do not feel like I can get around at all without it. Hell, I didn't even know I was suppose to "HAIL" a bus from certain bus stops until it passed me up one to many times. I think it will improve my comfort here tremendously.

I concur! It's really not fun at all sitting in "silence". Every day I trek on the bus and tram to do my errands and take the boy to school and I feel left out. I'd like to eves drop on a funny story or understand what the old ladies always say when they're dotting on my little boy.

I don't expect to become fluent but I'd like to be able to move about with ease a lot better.

I learned the simple "thank you" and already I feel better. I'm starting slow but hoping to get into some polish classes in January and working on building my circle of friends that will help as well.

erican.

I don't... not yet at least. I'm signing up for courses as soon as possible. I feel bad not even knowing how to say hello or thank you... and the rest would be so helpful!
