Off-Topic / American Girl with A Polish Heart [29]
Cześć! My name is Elizabeth, 18 years old, and I am a 4th or 5th generation Polish-American. I unfortunately do not know much about my Polish roots or that particular side of my family. It's a shame, really.
Though my Dad always told me I looked and acted "polski", and my adorable Polish neighbor would say about me, "She look a-like a little Polish doll!", I never got much exposure to the Polish culture. I knew a few words, but my knowledge ended there.
I've always been fascinated by the Polish culture, though. I just adore everything about it; the wonderful people, beautiful and complex language, yummy food and the gorgeous art/architecture etc..
So I am now making it my mission to get back in touch with my Polish roots! It's always been my dream to visit Poland, but I believe first, I must learn the language! It's super difficult, but I think since I am passionate enough about it, that I will achieve fluency (or at least something close to it!) within a decent amount of time.
So I just thought I'd introduce myself to everyone on this forum and maybe see if anybody is interested in helping me out (exchanging emails, video-chatting and so on) I think it'd be great to have a mentor of sorts, or even just someone who is trying to learn the language as well and would like a "buddy"!
And after I can speak Polish impeccably...my next step will be to find myself a lovely Polish man to marry! :)
Do Widzenia!
