Language / Weird Polish dialect [15]

[Moved from]: Poznan dialect?

Hello!

I was talking to my grandmother a few weeks ago, via Skype, and she casually mentioned that she can speak some Polish (though I knew her grandparents were from Poznan, this was news to me.) She mentioned that a number of words she was taught are different from standard Polish, for example, "buza" (z = zh) instead of "babcia." Does anyone know of any resources for Polish regional dialects? I'd love to learn some new words for her.

Thanks!

Real Estate / Tips on finding an Apartment in Lublin in Spring [4]

I had to use an agent due to time constraints, and the price difference was significant. That being said, the agent I used was very good; went above and beyond to help get me settled. If you prefer the extra assistance and don't mind paying commission, I can send you his contact information.

Good luck!

Real Estate / Rent in Lublin - approximate cost? [5]

Does anyone know what I should expect to pay for a 50-70m, 2-3 room flat in Lublin? I've been looking online at flats in Srodmiescie and near LSM. I'll be teaching at KUL, so I'd like to be relatively close. Prices seem to be much lower in the southern part of the city, but prices vary so much, it's hard for me to tell. Also, if anyone knows any agencies, I'd be greatful for the advice. I have a contact who's supposed to help me find a place, but she's pretty busy and might not have the time this fall. Dziękuję!
