UK, Ireland / Moving to Poland from UK - how to watch English tv? [7]

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't find any other threads on this topic. I would prefer to get a dish but don't know which box (freesat, sky etc) would work best.

Life / Are there any shops that sell petite trousers in Poland? [4]

Wildrover- I have no idea how to respond to your suggestion.

Foreigner 4-Thanks, I have bought kids clothes in the past but sadly I have put on weight so the waist size would be too small now.

I will just have to buy ridiculously long jeans and take them to a tailor.

Language / Collection of learning resources for learning the Polish language [129]

I downloaded this programme: byki.com

It covers different topics and is really useful for vocabulary. I have already learned how to spell some things as well as say them.

It also tests you so you cannot be lazy :)

UK, Ireland / why do you shout and throw (question for english people) [30]

I don't think there is a more logical reason than people that do things like that are morons and think that it is funny.

I was once walking very early in the morning, a van drove past me quite quickly and threw an egg at me, it hurt like hell. I was in shock. There are some very dumb people in the world.

Sorry I couldn't give better reasons.

Life / Passing your Polish language and culture to your kids [74]

I don't know any Polish families living in England who do not speak Polish to their children. Even if they are fluent in English, they only teach their children Polish and assume they will learn English in school.

I am English and have a Polish husband and our son is grasping both languages with ease. I know another woman in the same situation and her children are fine with both languages, they do have more of a Polish accent but I see nothing wrong with that.

I think teaching children to speak 2 languages from a young age is better because over time it becomes natural to them.

Travel / Fish and Chips in Warsaw [53]

I went to this place today. The address is ul. koszykowa 30.

I am guessing that they changed the prices since opening.

I bought 'large' chips for 8zl and was very surprised. There were, honestly about 10 chips in the tray. I didn't expect the portion size to be same as the UK but it was a rip-off in my opinion.

They had other things available to buy such as biscuits and crisps. A packet of hobknobs cost 13zl.

Might be best for a rare treat.
