Study / School of Polish for Foreigners at the University of Lodz [43]

Hi,

I'm a Polish-Canadian expatriate (meaning, I came to Canada some 22 years ago). Unfortunately, I never got the chance to attend a Polish school here where I was young so over time I lost some Polish language skills and became somewhat unfamiliar with the culture.

Now I want to get re-acquainted. I would like to take a preparatory course in Polish language/culture from the university of Lodz. I've got family living in Lodz can speak a bit of Polish.

Question - are there any other universities in Poland offering Polish language/culture courses? I'm more partial to universities as opposed to private language schools.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm thinking about going in a year or two (must save up for this little endeavor)

Hey,

Thanks for responding. Perhaps I can turn this into an opportunity. My English is excellent but even though I can speak Polish I would probably be at the early-intermediate level. Spending six months in Poland may change that. I really would like to know how to write.

With my English, maybe I can find a part time tutoring gig. Guess I better take some English courses to familiarize myself with the language jargon before heading out.

Cheers,

Calgarytek

No, I would rather be in Poland right in the heart of it.

No thanks on the job offer. I already have a good one. Also, you may want to revise your posting before you hire someone that will promptly sue you.
