CAE used to have a polish course but have not seen one in their guide's for at least 2 years.
maybe a uni would have a polish course that you could just walk in on.
geez, my dad grew up in glenroy as well...small world.
I too would like to learn Polish in Melbourne. Have had a look for language schools but can't seem to find any. Does anyone know of any?

Is that a question for me? Its got a lot more Poles and other Europeans than any other Australian city, so if you like that type of enviroment then Melbourne is the place for you... Its more like Europe too. I hope that was useful information for you man.

alcohol and sex before marriage are strictly forbidden in muslim culture, among other things. that is well known.
i have nothing against turks, i just find it hilarious thatsome (not all) have this pious attitude later in life after purposelly breaking the rules of their religion.
you had contact with a select few.. and if ya ask me.. alot of Men
from any country, just name it.. like to drink and find themselfs..

that is very general Pat.
you cant blame all muslims for a few extremists. the koran is actually a very peaceful and spiritual book, just in the wrong hands, can be turned to another viewpoint.
western and european countries have also been at war since the dawn of man.
he asked what the impression of turks are!!
i work/liase with muslims and the turks/lebanese are not seen in a very spiritual light.
other muslim countries are not very respected either.. and they been at war
since war became a word.. centuries..
Least the turks helped Poland when help was needed..
the way I see it.. who cares if other muslim countries dont respect you. it isnt like
other muslim countries respect a whole lot to begin with unless its in their own
territory .. ( speaking of govt ) and leaders.. etc.

Well, one would ask if there were any cafes, not a specific chain that is globalised beyond belief.
And some of starbucks practices, ie not getting permits and setting up shop are highly questionable.
Why do you assume that was the context in which that question was asked?

you dont also sometimes add sugar as well do you....gasp
taught us the art of tea maybe, the coffee thang would be a more migrant (im guessing italian) influence.
it did not matter if i paid more or less, instant coffee was more gratifying taste wise than a cappucino.
youre right... and we put milk in our tea as well... weirdos, huh?

we are quite happy to let foreigners visit our country but we like to keep our coffee for our own... its a commonwealth thing... your either a member or your not... we either owned you or taught you how to drink tea and coffee... its an empire thang... you gotsta understand...

i was unaware that the english were known for their coffee skills. maybe things have changed since i was their 5 years ago. but back then i lost count of the crap coffees i was served.
i think australia has more knowledge in the coffee department, and drink more per capita than any other country.
as i just posted,i was there 5 years ago and decent coffee was hard to in shops that served coffee. it all really hinges on the preparer, if they dont know what they are doing then you are in trouble.
thats could be because you are not english and thus dont realise a good cup of coffee when you drink one...

Not sure that's quite true now. In my house good coffee rules. I rarely make tea.
Reason we have a lot of good coffee shops now is because more people drink coffee than tea.
