Work / English with a Polish girlfriend. Experience in engineering, machines - working in Poland? [19]


Be aware that Poland especially northern and eastern part is still very poor. Young people earn about 300-400 pounds per month but prices are almost western. They study, live with parents as long as possible and don't know what to do next. There is no jobs around. For example in Olsztyn there is only one big employer Michelin but town has about 180ooo inhabitants.

It doesn't matter if you speak Polish or not. You are still foreigner. We aren't ready for western style of thinking yet. I can't imagine you in my work among us but what's worse especially my bosses can't imagine. They not always play fair.

We notorious think where to escape. UK again (oh no) or Germany (available soon) or Norway (land of milk and honey) and you suddenly appear and consider moving here ;)

Language / Tips on learning the Polish language! [25]

I learned English by using Google search engine (the exact phrase blank). If some phrase I constructed gave me more hits I considered it as correct ;) Next thing is a reading text in which you are really interested in (you are familiar with). eg I was IT guy and majority of manuals are written in English ;) Some of Polish satelite stations like TV Polonia broadcast tv series with en subtitles. Don't focus on grammar. Better learn phrases by heart.

powodzenia :)

Po polsku / Czy Ukraina jest bezpiecznie czy nie? [6]


Samochodem bym tam jeszcze nie pojechał ale generalnie jest bezpiecznie. Ostatni raz byłem tam w 2006 roku i oprócz hałaśliwych, podpitych zołnierzy nic nie zauważyłem na minus. Tambylcy jedynie ostrzegli mnie przed kieszonkowcami, ktorych na szczęście nie miałem nieprzyjemności spotkać :) No i nikt mnie nie zaczepiał o fajki jak w Anglii ;)

Language / How do Poles feel about foreigners learning their language? [105]


Poles will be lost in admiration when someone struggle to communicate in the harder way ;)

Travel / How welcoming is Poland for an American visitor? And great places to visit. [43]


We aren't hostile to foreigners we are hostile to anyone ;) To be serious we are more and more indifferent. We don't want go to USA, we haven't desire for visas abolition and we aren't jealousy as ten years ago. We think that Europe is the best place to live in the world. We are happy that our backwardness help us to avoid economical crisis. So you can feel free to visit Poland and you will be treated with the highest indifference unless you will try to park a car inside my housing estate ;)

Real Estate / Tips for Renting in Poznań? [8]


No, you don't


yup


I don't think so


yes, you can buy it from insurance broker, flat should have at least two certified locks in front door (e.g. Gerda, Wilka).


at the moment in Olsztyn you can find working pc near recycling bins on average once a month ;)
If you choose well housing estate you don't need an insurance (except water leak, it is very important).
