Life / From UK, finding my feet in Warsaw, Poland. [20]

Thanks Bee,
yeah im finding everything ok...not too many problems as of yet, i know that shoe shop....uk has some stores here, one being in my home town. I quite like TK maxx but have not really looked properly. I love the shops underground in Warsaw central too...Ooo lots of bargains ha ha.

Food is not such a big deal...i love polish kitchen! the one thing i miss is hard cheese (cheddar) have tried a few kinds here but not the same.

Oo just thought of another...coleslaw lol i will have to visit M&S food department :)

Thankyou all very much for your replies. I really appreciate it :)
I am finding people here in my area very helpful and patient with me..while i make a shambles of their language ha ha... as soon as i say Nie rozumiem or Nie Polski, jestem angielskie..they have been great and help me how they can, some have spoke English to me. I understand a lot more than i can speak. Its so hard, lots of different ways to say one word depending on with whom you are speaking!!!! but at the moment i am not concerned with that, i just want to learn the words, the rest can come later.

I am learning online and watch polish tv but i think i am best just throwing myself in there and keep trying..much to the amusement of the poles, im sure:)

Boyfriend will have to start helping me...not just what he wants to hear ha ha.
I am sure i will have many more questions for you all, thanks again

Life / From UK, finding my feet in Warsaw, Poland. [20]

Hello everyone, I would like a little advice and info if that is ok. I have 1 million questions but i will try to stick to just a few for now lol.

I am very new to Poland...flew in last saturday from uk with my Polish boyfriend but he had to leave me the next day due to work commitments :( I am feeling very much like an Alien at the minute. So far i have mastered the Warsaw Metro system...Found Tesco and done some shopping (yey lol) Decided which bank i would like to open an account with ( thanks to you lovely people on here)

I need to know where would be best to improve my Polish language? boyfriend is no good to teach me ( i am fluent in polski swearing and filth ha ha) but i need to learn properly, i only know basic.

Are there any UK companies here? i need work and the lack of polish language is going to hold me back with polish companies.

Are there any shops here like Peacocks/Primark in the uk? I have seen tk maxx here. Are there any others you can recommend to me for reasonably/cheap prices..especially for underwear/ footwear.

Thankyou
Donna
