USA, Canada / Moving from Canada to Poland? I'm fluent Polish and could teach English. [24]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and I'm curious if anyone has made the move from Canada to Poland. I have family in Poland but I was born in Canada. I do have a degree and I've been thinking of moving to Poland to teach English. I've been there countless times and feel that my heart is there. Also, to make it easier, I am fluent in Polish, I just do not know where to begin to reach my goal. If anyone has any advice please feel free to offer it.

Thanks a bunch!

I may sound stupid but quite a few years ago when I was in my teens, I had to get my citizenship so at that point I had dual citizenship but here's my question... Does it expire? I'm sure I'd have to renew it some how but I'm just not sure how it all works. I suppose I'd really have to look into that.

Thanks for the reply!

Love / Do you think that Polish should stick to Polish? [128]

What do you think?

Do you think that Polish should stick to Polish?
I am a Polish/Canadian woman, mid twenties that has always been told I should find a nice Polish man. I agree it would make life easier in the sense that if I were to have kids we would teach them Polish and teach them Polish culutre. But if I were to end up with someone from a different culture/nationality it would be hard to mix the two together and teach them possibly two languages and cultures....

I'm curious to see what you think....

I've been looking for a nice Polish man but it seems as though I just cannot find one. Nothing against Polish men, I just haven't found myself to meet many Polish men. But i would love to lol. It would atleast make my mother happy!

Travel / When is the best time (month) to see Poland? [31]

I say SUMMER definitely.... I've been there at all times of the year and I think you can see much more in the summer than you can in the fall, winter, or spring. Plus everyone is just much more happier in the summer, just like everywhere else in the world that has to deal with snow.

I do... I was born in Canada but have a strong connection with Poland. So English is my primary language and Polish is my second. Trust me I'm a super proud Pole. So I guess I sometimes feel that I want to continue that.

Ha that's cute.... and if I could just simply do that I would. I'm thinking of moving there actually. Trust me I love different cultures including Irish =) but I've always had that traditional mother in the back of my head telling me to find a Polish man lol

I feel it's strange that I'd rather live in Poland than Canada since it's where I have been for 25 years but there's just something that pulls me toward it lol

TheOther you are very correct! Sometimes I wish our middle age population and elders weren't so darn traditional. Atleast we are becoming more open to everything which is wonderful!

No not just for the men, lol, I would go there to teach or something else. I do have an educational background that would, I'm sure, help me. But just the culture itself makes me want to go there and live there. I've been there about 12 times in my life and each time I go I fall more and more in love with it.

Really??? I find so many beautiful things about Poland. I suppose even for a few years would be great but I'v always had a love for Poland. I do like Canada, I just want to experience Poland more than just two-month visits at a time.

Do you live there dnz?

dnz, I agree with you that it would be more difficult to live there, but isn't there something that keeps you there??? Aside from the damaged roads and rude people (which you find everywhere in the world) there must be something? Every time I've been there I've just absolutely loved it.

and yes, good jobs there are hard to find but I'm still convinced it has potential.

I agree the more experience you have with different cultures, the more aware you are of this world and what it has to offer. For myself, I have many friends that are either different in culture/nationality or who actually live in different countries. It's nice to broaden your horizons.

True delphiandomine! Currently I work as an Investor with a bank. So i doubt it would be easy to continue that in Poland. It's ironic because I have a degree in Psychology but I work in finance. So where that would land me in Poland, I have no idea? lol

and Nika it's nice to listen to your positive attitude thanks!

Nika I agree.. you know i'm so glad you came and replied to my thread. I completely agree with you.... I really want to move to Poland, even if it's for a couple years, but I do want to. Were you born there?

That's great that you wanted to move back but atleast you got the experience living in Brussels. Well I'm not sure where I'd go. My family lives in Lodz. But if I were to begin teaching then I'd probably have to find a good private school, most likely working with adults and teaching them English. My only concern is that I know a lot of British people teach English and their English is different then North American. What's your thoughts on that? What made you move back to PL Nika?

holy I didn't expect to get that type of message! lol......... To each their own.... if someone falls in love with an Asian or Black than all the best to them.... that's one thing I can never disagree with! =)

I think you are bias to assume these relationships are based on a false pretense. Any woman, of any colour, can fall in love with someone of the same or different colour/nationality regardless of financial income or socioeconomic level. I'm not sure what you've experienced in your own life, but, I know that skin colour does not have an impact on partner preferences as it used to. In any country, in any continent, you will find women that use men for their own financial gain. And on the other side of the spectrum, you'll find men who use women as well... So i can't take your opinion too heavily because at the end of the day some people find love, some people use others and all of this is regardless of ethnicity.

You're not allowed window tint in Poland???? No way, I've never noticed but I think that's crazy. I love having my windows tinted!
