Po polsku / Dlaczego uczysz się Polskiego? [101]

Chyba najłatwiej nauczyć się czytać, potem pisać, potem mówić a najtrudniej jest rozumieć co ludzie do nas mówią.

Law / Highway Code equivalent in Poland? [7]

legal distance when driving behind other cars

Beware of wildboars and moose. Avoid driving in the night, on Friday evening and through small villages. Beware agricultural machinery on the road, morons on the quads and drunks walking without any light or hivis.

Life / Moving from India to Wroclaw [53]

I dont speak a single word of Polish, will I be able to manage with English?

Of course you will. Many Polish people worked abroad and achieved a decent level of English. We do like to speak English and have an opportunity to improve our language skills ;)

Po polsku / Uratowal mlodego Polaka teraz sam potrzebuje pomocy! [10]

Jak bić żeby nie zabić i nie pójść siedzieć za łajno spod obcasa? Nie po głowie. Prawdopodobnie najlepiej po nogach jak ZOMO żeby przysiadł i po łapach żeby złamać. Ciemno było i reflektory oślepiały mógł spróbować odskoczyć zbić przednią szybę. Wiem że wszystko szybko się działo ale wychodząc z bejzbolem nie wystarczy nim pomachać. Trzeba mieć plan ;)

Dorzuciłem się. Odważnik z niego. Te "nastolatki" na filmie to nieźle odżywione kwintalki :)

Bo dziewczyna była za ładna? W takiej chwili nie ma większego żalu niż nie mieć odpowiedniego narzędzia w ręku. Dobry i bejzbol. Kto normalny wozi w samochodzie crowbary i co te dziewczyny tam robiły. Zasadzka przygotowana? Głupio chodzić z łańcuchem w plecaku cały czas. On chyba nie do końca był brutalny bo mając bejzbola mógł jednego dobrze trafić żeby został na miejscu..

Real Estate / Buying apartment in Poland - Kitchen / bathroom [3]

I have heard stories that in Poland they deliver your appartment totally empty without kitchen and bathroom.

Yup. It is a common practice, an empty flat, only walls. Then you add golden handles and chandeliers by your own.

The employer has offered me7.5K but I'm trying to extend it to 8.5-9K.I want to save at least 3000-3500 zloty a month.

8K gross is 5640 netto, You will spend about 2000 for a flat, 700 for food, 70 for internet 120 Mb/s, 50 - 100 mobile phone. It may be difficult to save 3000zł.

Work / Salary for a senior software engineer in Poland [195]

With the 7.5k-8K zloty gross for a single person, how much would I be saving at the end of each month?

If you are really tough guy you can save about 2000zł

I have never been to Poland.

That's a pity.

Work / Salary for a senior software engineer in Poland [195]

but I couldn't find anything that's related to working in Poznan or expense in Poznan.

Poznań isn't different from other big cities in PL. Flat cost is 2000 pcm.

Do you want to pi$$ off a Pole? Then ask if 7.5K to 8K zloty gross/month good enough to live in Poland while they earn 2k gross:)

Classifieds / Work in Australia for a Polish girl wanted (tourism/recreation) [34]

I don't want go to UK because of brexit

Brexit isn't that scary ;) Visit the UK first at least to find out what your language skills are. Writing in English or speaking isn't that difficult. The real chalenge is to understand native speaker in a noisy place via telephone. When they say town or street names is a complete disaster. Australia is a distant country. You will need a sack of money for a start.

Real Estate / Applying for a mortgage in Poland (wife and husband) [9]

I will no longer be able to get a credit report from the UK, as I am no longer a resident there. Is this the case - and do most banks ask for a foreign credit history from non-Poles?

In Poland banks don't care about your credit history. They look what monthy income you have, perm job, expenses, kids, your prospects.
They even don't care what properties, cars, boats, planes you have. The most impotant is well paid, steady job.

And, for the record, we will be putting in a little over 26% in terms of a deposit, which is higher than the minimum, might that help?

no, don't do it. It is a drop in the ocean. Save it for instalments.

Polonia / Work in Denmark? Do you want it? A versatile builder who can speak English needed. [55]

The only information we wanted was simple. How much i normal to pay in Poland for that kind of labor, and how much would it take to work in Denmark.

For example experienced plumber can earn in Poland 3000zl per month (I earned 2750zl in Poland) plus the same after hours so 6000zl pcm it is 1380 euro plus 350 euro accommodation. Salary which can attract him to leave homeland is min 1730 euro netto.

Denmark is considered as very expensive country with very expensive cars and insurance. Don't expect crowds.

In the UK he can earn 100 pounds per day about 2200 pcm x 5 = 11000zl

Love / Should I follow her? I met a beautiful Polish woman who has been working in the UK [62]

Do people think I should be looking at a future with her in Poland

No. You will not be able to swim in this water for a long time.

or does the fact she was willing to drop me say enough about how she see's me?

She is tired of living abroad. She acts from practical point of view. For the same reason I would never want to be with a Russian girl.
