Travel / Poland Travel and Language Blogs [22]

[Moved from]: About.waw.pl. My new English-language blog about Warsaw.

Hi,
I have started a small blog about Warsaw and would like some feedback on the concept. The site is at: about.waw.pl. The goal of the site is to provide some more in-depth insight into topics related to life in Warsaw beyond simple forum postings. What would you like to see featured in the blog in the future? Opinions are appreciated.

Thank you for your response. I am always working on additional content. It's kind of a trickle of new info but my goal is to create a useful and informative guide to the city, and to provide an American (Midwest) perspective combined with a born-in-Poland perspective to English speakers residing in and planning on moving to Poland.

USA, Canada / Life in Poland as a Polish heritage American [3]

Hi.
I tried to get to know Poland by studying for one semester at the Academy of Fine Arts. It was a pleasant experience but I got a lot more out of a combination of efforts:

1. Learning the language
2. Learning about the history (especially WWII and Communism)
3. Going to social events (film festivals, industry groups, clubs etc.)
4. Forcing oneself to watch tv in Polish, see Polish movies, and listen to Polish music.

If you do all these during your year of study, you'll get more than if you just hang out with people from school.

Polish people tend to care what country your were born but in what city. For example if you are from the USA but your parents were born in Warsaw you have a slightly easier time than if you are from the USA and your parents were from villages or small towns. Again I am not being scientific here, so you just have to play it by ear.

Work / Quality of IT educations (Computer Science) in Poland vs. other countries [11]

Speak often, read as much as you can, and try writing. If you learn a bit of Polish, try posting to some Polish language forums and see what kind of response you receive. :)
