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.

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 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..

I just joined the page...but none of you will (probably) guess who I am there... :)

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?
