Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [571]

My first connection with Poland is my grandfather, Karol, who came to Argentina before the 2nd World War. I didn't get to know him though, because he died way before I was born. Sadly, he didn't teach my father much about his country and its traditions, let alone the language :P I understand him, it must have been really painful.

My second connection is a really lucky one. A couple of years ago I received an e-mail from a guy two years older than me, asking me things about my grandad and my last name, telling me he had found me through a lyrics site that I was member. He turned out to be my second cousin, grandson of one of my father's aunts :)

He's now my best friend and it's really amazing how alike we are in every way, not only looks. He has definitely become a key person in my life. I'd have to say the reason I don't feel alone anymore -it gets difficult to be understood when everyone in your family is extremely older or younger than you :P-

So now I'm having a wonderful time learning Polish, with my hopes on meeting all of them some day.

Thank you, yes, it's a beautiful and extremely complicated language but it's completely worth the effort. I find it quite musical :P
Good luck to you too!
