Love /
English girl moving to Poland with my Polish boyfriend for the first time [69]
Do you love him?
Is your relationship stable?
Are you ready for a challenge?
If the answer is yes to all 3 then GO FOR IT!
It's very true.. Poland is not like England... at all. I've been going to Poland my whole life so I knew what to expect when living there but it was still hard, especially at first. What will probably get you the most is the loneliness. Even though I was with my Polish b/f I still felt a bit isolated, and this was Kolobrzeg, a beautiful seaside tourist town. But when I got more confident with the language and made a few friends, life got a bit easier.
If you are going soon it will be a good time because it will be summer in a few months. Polish summers are generally long and hot so I hope it's a good one for you!
And start PRACTISING YOUR POLISH NOW! Knowing the language makes life so much better, and will certainly impress his family and friends.
We're back in the UK now and I'm doing a degree in English and hope to be a teacher. In a couple years we plan to go back again permanently.
I've been to Krakow... it's beautiful and you will proabably find people there who speak English! It's a tourist city and alot of English go there for weekend breaks and stag do's, things like that. Perhaps you could find a place in the tourist industry??
Good luck! Some days you will be confused, some days you will be pissed off and some days you might think you're going crazy!! Some days you will just want baked beans on toast, or a good roast or a nice fried breakfast, or to walk into a spozywczy or chemist and not have to ask for what you want from behind the counter!! Aagh! :)
But if you like a challenge and keep an open mind i'm sure that most days you will love it!
:D Have fun!!
