Language / Polish in 4 Weeks CD-ROM [46]
Exactly....!!! When i bought the book, i got the CD with it and you do need it. All the best with the learning...i do think that book is one of the best out there. Though, learning it is 4 weeks, is a BIT of an exageration!!!!!
No, I don't feel the least bit guilty about downloading because I paid for the book.

Real Estate / How do I rent a flat in Poland? [44]
I think if you are more than 90 days in poland, you are suppose to register that you are here. This is very different from needing a Visa, and as part of the EU you are able to live and work here without a visa. I lived and worked here for year before actually applying for the residency card. dont worry if you are here for more than 90 days, they wont be knocking on your door!!!
In relation to renting an apartment, normally a months deposit and the first month paid is required when you sign the tanancy agreement. You can get tenancy agreement with open ended finish dates. This will realy depend on the landlord you are dealing with. Normally, there will be a stipulation of both parties having to give a months notice of termination of agreement. Hope this helps.

Real Estate / How do I rent a flat in Poland? [44]
Fully appreciate your frustration on this but this is somewhat a reality here. I think part of the problem is that up to recently, Poland has not had to deal with that many people coming to poland but this is changing. Unfortunately, the process is not. It can also be different from city to city. As i said, I appreciate your frustration but if you are coming here to live, best to count to 10 and accept it. I know it is a defeatest attitude but otherwise you will go mad with frustration.
Sad but true!!!
website with a Polish government URL that I could depend on them?

HHmmm..something about that rings a bell, alright. It has been so long since i looked into it i cant remember but that does sound familiar. That being said, EU citizens are ok. I was here a few years before i got around to registering.

Not sure if there is further confusion over the Visa thing, but thought i would mention about the Shengan zone.
The Schegan zone things does NOT affect whether you need a Visa or not. As an EU citizen you do NOT need a visa. What the Schegan zone relates to is the ability to cross borders without having to show your passport. Most of Europe i.e. EU contries is in the Schegan zone which means you can travel between countries with no border controls i.e. you dont have to show your passport. However, Uk (and ireland) opted out of this. I think it was because of terrorist threats and Uk wanted to keep an eye who was coming in and out of the country. All this means is that when you go to the UK, you have to show your passport. As stated before, this has nothing to do with requiring a Visa.
PS as a result of mass immigration, i think some coutnries are looking at re-introducing border controls.
