Life / Good place to live in Poland (if you want to move on)? [66]

I've heard that Kraków has the most English-speakers...is that true? I was thinking of eventually moving there and learning more of the Polish language then maybe moving to Warsaw?

I do know a few people who speak it, but I tried this already..it didn't really work out.


which I have never heard of before. and they haven't even added Polish yet; I saw it as an option in a poll as to what new language they should add..

thanks you guys... livemocha is down at the moment I checked, hope it's back up soon.
the other two sites look promising, will look through them more thoroughly tomorrow.

looks like I have a lot to look through today, which is great! I think the other sites may be much easier for me to understand then the one I've been using so far..I've also been learning some via singing (listening to a song many times then looking at the words and singing with it).

I was told the same thing, but I still think it useful. I particularly like IRA's "Parę Chwil"--it's easy, though the pronunciation may not be entirely correct to spoken Polish...

Language / How similar are Polish and Romanian languages? [75]

perhaps that's it..I do have familiarity with Latin, as well as Spanish and French..

USA, Canada / American Polonia. Wisconsin - the most Polish state? [112]

Chicago has the most Pol-Ams...
but that's just coming from my babcia from Poland to Chicago :)

USA, Canada / PolAms -- do you regard yourselves only as 'white Americans'? [187]

if I could, I'd put "Polish-Irish", born in America....

Genealogy / Mixed-Blood Poles in America (Do we count?) [118]

I'm an Irish-Polish mix. grandma came from Poland, moved to Chicago and met grandpa, who came from Ireland. myself and my family have a taste for both Polish and Irish cuisine. we were given American names to "fit in", but still appreciate our Polishness and Irishness.

I have only a basic understanding of Polish, but am working on learning the whole language.
