Genealogy / Are Polish birth records available on the Internet? [56]
The reason Genealogy is so difficult in Poland is that almost nothing is available on-line.
If you want something... you or someone acting on your behalf must go to the actual office and ask.

Life / Computer stores and computer prices in Wroclaw [12]
Computers cost 3,000 - 7,000zl
If you go to the very top end you will pay 12,000zl
A good computer will cost about 6,000. I haven't noticed any Dell computers. A lot of people go for Hewlett Packard.
Check: Media Markt or Saturn for average prices and models available.

Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]
You are right. I haven't seen any figures that match on this site.
I'm not involved in teaching much these days. I was just looking for insight, because you have written with broad knowledge.
I was wondering about the hourly rate as every week is different [holidays etc]
It's not important for me to know, but others might find it extremely useful.
Working at a Language School. What is the arrangement during the summer holiday ?
Again, I'm not asking for myself, but for others. Did you find yourself with plenty of work ?
There seems to be others who disagree.

Is it true that English teachers are paid so little? I had thought that they make a good salary by local standards.

You might be better off with Conversational English. That way you learn as well as your students/pupils.
Find people who are aiming to pass the 'Matura' [A level], First Certificate.
Make sure that you know how to explain grammar.
If you don't need regular hours. Work at home or visit people in their homes.

Language / Too many English words in the Polish language! [709]
Some of these words are no longer English, Polish etc. They are International words. And despite spelling differences they are recognizable.
That's my theory.
