Work / Brazilian moving to Poland - job ideas, Polish language, other tips? [30]

I`m from Brazil married with a polish guy and... guess what... living in London for now. We both like London, have quite "good" jobs, but when thinking about having a family London is just not the right place. We`ve already started paying a mortgage for a flat in Poznan where my husband`s family lives, so we definetely are on our way.

Is there any brazilian people living in Poland and does anyone else have any ideas what could I do there? What kind of job???? I`m having polish lessons here in London but what a difficult language is that???? Besides all my husband`s positive words, I`m really scared.

Please, any tips would be of huge appreciation.
Thanks

Life / Weather in Poland - some explanations [30]

One more question. While my husband says polish weather is the best one in the world ;) with four seasons, beach in the summer, snowboard in the winter and so on, many polish friends I have, said weather in Poland is the worst I can get and they couldn`t see themselves living in that kind of winter anymore. I`ve been in Poland myself few times... winter, spring, summer and autumn but can`t get to a conclusion really...

How is it???

Life / Weather in Poland - some explanations [30]

As a brazilian I do enjoy hot sunny weather but not 365 days per year. When I was a child I used to look forward to going to Argentine to enjoy a bit of crispy temperatures. What I`m afraid of is how long is this winter in Poland. Can I say Poland is 50% cold and 50% hot? I don`t mind cold weather, but a short one :)

thanks for the answers guys

Work / Brazilian moving to Poland - job ideas, Polish language, other tips? [30]

I went to university, have a bacharel (that`s how it says in english?) in Tourism, but to be honest I think to do anything with my qualifications I`d need first a veeery good polish. My english is not bad, but far away from being perfect, plus there are so many native english speakers in Poland that I don`t see why a polish person would prefer to learn it with a brazilian person. Am I wrong??? Is there anybody interested in learning portuguese at all?? I don`t think so ;((((

Well, thanks again for the tips.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

I think if you go to some small villages, it`s a bit dated, but in big cities is as in any other city in Europe. What I can`t stand is the 2 colour hair for girls and really tight pants for boys...Why is that??? Even my husband who is from Poland doesn`t get it!

Thank you all for the feedback.

I'm also debating a similar move, but frankly, I'd rather stay in London. Then again, I'm childless, so your case is different. All the best of luck to you.

If I would move or not was something I couldn`t stop thinking about, it was driving me crazy, but after sometime I just thought about the pros and cons of each place and yes, London is a great place to live for a while, so many things you can do, restaurants, concerts to die for, shops, museums, but in few years time if I will definetely decide to have children, I`m sure nice forests, lakes, peace and lower costs of life are the things I will be looking for. I hope I will never regret, anyway we can always come back;) The best of luck to you too.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

Why people are so ignorant??? Classifying countries as 3º World Country is no longer used when regarding with economic aspects. These terms were used when there was Cold War... just read the previous topics which are explaining pretty clearly .

Polish people should stop moaning and feel offended about english people or whoever says they are Third World Country. Polish people do the same when talking about Latin America, Africa and Asia.

For the so well educated polish people: In Brazil we don`t speak spanish, we don`t have sneaks or crocodiles on streets, people can buy cars as well as TVs and computers...

Everywhere in the world there will be educated people or not, rich people and poor people and I must say Poland is not a '3º World Country' and never will be, however I`ve been to some so called 3º World Contry and they are doing far better than Poland.

Not generalizing, but don`t you (polish people) getting too sensitive with this matter??

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

Overrated in what sense? Language is power. I count myself as lucky that I can understand basic discussions in different countries. French, Japanese, German and Polish being those languages. Japanese and Polish much stronger. It really aids things, especially as a teacher who can understand students better

Agree!!! I don`t think english people are stupid in general (some are, some aren`t) although they really tend to think that for knowing english they are freed to learn any other language just because it is wide spoken. It`s true they go to Spain and learn just what they really need on daily basis (I have a lot of friends in Spain who told me how english people act towards their language and I`ve seen with my own eyes as well). Even in this forum there are some english and australian people who live in Poland for quite some time and can`t speak polish. To me to learn and know another language goes much further than that. It`s a way to learn about culture, places, etc... Plus, I find rude if you visit some country expecting everyone there should speak english to comunicate with you.

one of the blessings of not speaking other languages is that you dont understand the bollocks that other people speak, unless of course they insist on speaking english

Sorry, I meant `not to learn`

tomar por culo jovencito chavalito, dos veses, y tu tata abuela tanbien

I didn`t go so low... if you knew my language you would know.

then why the hell do people all round the world have this over whelming desire to pay through the nose to learn it...

It`s the easiest one, that`s why it`s a universal language. Some complex language as polish will never be spoken worlwide because it takes more than a couple of years to learn.

I`m just being nice with you... you just complained of having to understand people, so writing in portuguese you don`t have to.

I know some Karolinas who are nice ;)

BTW, I`m on a Karl strike from today!!! All Karls I`ve met are as clever as a pig. I hope some day I will come across with one that will show me otherwise.

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people think about Wales and Welsh people? [191]

I love Wales!!! I lived in Llandudno for 6 mth and there I met my lovely polish hubby ;)))) The rain, the smell of coal in the air, sheeps, weird accent, old ladies sitting on benchs at the beach, castles, "croeso" signs... all lovely!!!

My favourite place: Conwy Castle.
