Life / $3,000-$4,000 a month - would we have enough money to live in Poland? [273]


private school might mean smaller classes. it also means classmates from all parts of town.

Result: not easy to see friends after school hours.

regular school: probably close to home... friends live local.

put the money in the bank for your son or a rainy day.

Work / Advice for a worried English stranger / Native speaker who wants to move to Poland [23]


learn what the student has to learn and nothing more. for the time being that is.

write the rules in a book.

example.

Present continuous: something happening now (i am sitting)
.......................... future arragement (i'm meeting tom next week)
.......................... annoying habit (you are alwaysshouting at me)
.......................... something happening around now, but not at the moment of speaking (i'm reading a good book)

Do the same for other tenses and you'll only cover a few sheets of paper. simples.
