Work / Can I survive in Poland as a working student? [8]

The biggest job-seeking website I am aware of is pracuj.pl. Of the 40,824 job offers listed on the site at the moment, 19,298 require the knowledge of English, 3,490 German, 823 French, 577 Polish (sic !), 382 Italian, 322 Russian, 321 Spanish, 277 Dutch, 196 Czech, 163 Swedish.

What may interest you perhaps the most, 26 job offers require the knowledge of Turkish!

Then I think your chances are not that bad if this is the case.


I would rely more on Belarussian than English in Poland in your everyday life. As a Pole I can pretty easily follow the news or films broadcast on Belsat, a TV channel in Belarussian financed by the Polish government (btw, it is extremely funny to hear all their commentators speaking Belorussian, whereas people in the streets interviewed by TV Belsat crews almost exclusively speak in Russian). There is a growing numbers of Ukrainians working in Poland due to the increasing shortage of domestic labour force in Poland, but also a (much smaller) number of Belarussians is reported. It shouldn't be difficult to learn Polish for you given that you are already well accustomed to the Latin alphabet.

In the world of finance English is of course a very big advantage, but reasonably good Polish is necessary if you are thinking of a "good job" in Poland

Why not communicate directly with a Helen Doron Center and ask them what your chances are?

Indeed, so why did the OP ask this question if it is so obvious what he should pay a foreigner?
But wait, the OP has explained it already:

Definitely more than in Poland, but definitely less than a native Danish speaker would claim, I should think.

No, it rather isn't. Perhaps she should have called it "political culture" rather than "democracy".


These elections greatly degenerated over time. Anyway, you cannot compare them to modern elections. The election of the last king of Poland, for example, was done in a place surrounded with the Russian army if I remember well.

Elections in England of the 18th century were largely bribed. I remember seeing a painting pompuously showing a scene of bribing an election in England.

Don't blame him so much. He may be in need to talk to someone about his problem as he may have no one to talk about it. It is just terrible to be alone with a problem all the time.


If it's biased or not, we don't know, but you have hit the nail on the head. Not without reason the ancient Romans used to say: audiatur et altera pars. That is why I have advised a professional counselor to them. Such a person can listen to the story of each sides separately and listen to both of them sitting together. Both sides may also be able to talk face-to-face in a non-confrontational way in the presence of a counselor.


Very angry indeed. I've been married to a Polish woman for quite a long time now, so I'm talking from my own experience!

I don't think it is a good idea. This thread is public property now and other people may benefit from it as well.

Just calm down and re-think your position. I think it would be good for both of you if you had a break for some time.

Also, it may be good to take the advice of a professional counselor before you make any decisive move.

But that's exatly what Crow had told you a little while before:


And you have said "Woof!" to it.

Beyond that "woof" thing that greatly atrracts you to her, did you ever tell her you wanted to marry her? For a woman, and not necessarily a Polish woman only, it may be vital as a starting point for thinking about a serious life beyond a relationship you have now. Did you tell her you would like to have children with her?

Also, Polish women tend to communicate indirectly very much. It is often a hard job for a man to guess what they really have in mind in behaving in a specific way rather than telling you straight away.

Also, I have noticed the following facts you reveal about her which you should ponder upon:



Finally, I have a vague feeling that your relansionship is quite far from being mature.

News / Will eight million Polish people flock to the UK now that we are going for a hard Brexit? [38]


It is slow and it is not the economic development only that matters. Besides, you shouldn't think that the present European immigration policy continues for ever. The next move which is likely to be a victory of Madame Le Pen in France could change things dramatically for the EU.


I would say the US military support in that the military umbrella is stretched over Europe and Europe may sleep in calm in the hope that the US would intervene when Europe is in danger. Thus Europe may think: ah, we don't need to spend so much money on defense while Uncle Sam sits nearby, just across the pond. Let's spend this money on social welfare and other more pleasant things than the army as we Europeans deserve it, don't we?

News / Will eight million Polish people flock to the UK now that we are going for a hard Brexit? [38]

Crow, my dear! Things do not change so quickly as you would wish.


Not without reason there are nearly one million Polish immigrants living in the UK at present. And it is very unlikely that "soon enough" they all come home and on top of that we will have one million native British immigrants in Poland soon.

How many Serbian immigrants live in Germany, for example? My wife and I know one Serbian family (living in the vicinity of Kraljevo now) whose daughter emmigrated to Germany and maried a Serbian man with whom they remain in Germany bringing up their children there. Do you really think they are ready to flock back to Serbia?

It is because immigrants from Muslim countries would take their place. This is why the Polish people decided to stay in the UK.

Where did you get that from, HardBrexiter? Or is it a salary that is going to prevail in the UK in ten years after Brexit ?

No, it means you can say w Warszawie i Wrocławiu in place of saying w Warszawie i we Wrocławiu.

It's incorrect in the same way as "we Warszawie" is incorrect.



Not only it is accepted usage, but also it goes in accordance with the rule.

Language / Male name declension in Poland [38]

Sometimes the rules don't explain everything and it is the usage which may be the decisive factor. For example, I would always use the phrase "we Lwowie", but I would definitely prefer to say "w Lwówku Śląskim".


Never heard or read "w Wrocławiu".

Language / Male name declension in Poland [38]

You are right - these are all mistakes. "Przez Baracka Obamę" is the corrrect form heard everywhere on TV and radio. "Przez Baracka Obama" sounds weird. Likewise, you will say "przez Donalda Trumpa".

The general rule in Polish is to decline everything that is feasible for declension.

So you think a mob applauding the hooligans throwing stones and fighting the police isn't shocking?


It seems the community had serious problems with him before that. The 21-year old was summoned to the prosecutor's office four times and in 2016 he was prosecuted for robbery and issuing threats to people - the public prosecutor reveals.

What is even more shocking in this story is the behaviour of the crowd after the incident.

- I saw a mob in front of the bar who applauded the hooligans throwing stones at the windows. The bigger the stone was, the greater was the crowd's applaud - says Bogusław Chrabota, editor of the national paper Rzeczpospolita. - It was the first time in my life I witnessed the birth of a pogrom - he added.

Despite calls from the police, 150 out of about 300 people continued to remain in the place, so police used tear gas to disperse the crowd.
