Well at the moment just English, But i am taking a Polish course in October and have been trying to learn as i don't want to go there be ignorant and expect everyone to talk in English to me as i hate that, so i will try my best. I krakow has a big tourist industry and must be something for an English speaker. I work in Hotels and have all my life which i know will need English speakers.

But again i can't expect the staff to speak English so mayhbe this wont work.

Phtoa where you from?

Love / How many Polish girls are married to foreigners? / How many Polish boys to foreign girls? [104]

world that prejudices such as this do indeed exist

It's rediculous that he thinks every Polish girls Just want Money, I know from experience this isn't true, ive dated Polish girls, Of course there are Polish women like this but also in uk, germany , america, norway, france and so on. I find that In poland they are alot less materialistic than alot places and appreciate the simple things in life , if only everywhere was like that

There is a big tourism industry in Krakow for sure. If I were you I'd save some of those British pounds and start a small business here based on tourist coming from Britain (or something).I'm from Denmark/Us.

yeah would be good but trying to start a business must be hard, any suggestions ? lol But i do have alot of experience in a hotel as i have worked in them for about 11 years now and i'm currently a duty manager but yeah im trying to learn Polisdh but not so easy lol

Just how do you think someone without knowledge of the language is going to get on in Poland?Finding somewhere to live/registering with a doctor/.simple trip to the supermarket.etcOk if you have Polish speaking friends perhaps, that can help out, but without any knowledge of the language, simple everyday tasks are going to be a struggle

It's ok i'm prepared been there a few times and i know it's not easy, my aim was to just go and see how it goes really and try pick up Polish, i know paybe to learn another but i relaly like the language and would rather learn Polish, then i'm not like every other brit lol

I completely understand this but have known people to do it. And as the saying goes unless i try i will never know, maybe it wont work and maybe it will, i do know a little bit of Polish and i'm taking a course in october so i can go with something

Language / Give me some reasons to learn Polish [126]

I think it's down to the person really, doesn't matter what other people think, if it's usefull to you and makes sense to you then that's all that matters really. I'm currently learning but that's because i want to go to Poland and work

Thanks Lyzko. I get it all the time watch use is Polish bla bla bla, and i said well alot to me actually as i reguarly visit the country and cant expect everyone to speak englidh, i like the people and country and want to work there, so for me as usefull as Englsih, then they have nothing to say. I'm one of them people that don't care what people think, it's my life :-)

To many English speaking people expect the world to speak and learn englsih

Life / Moving To Krakow May (a place to live and work?) [48]

I am coming straight from UK and I live in krakow

So what made you go there if you don;t mind me asking? and what sector do you work in, did you find accomation before you went or did you just go? did you go on your own?

sorry for all the question, as you may know i have alot to sort out and doing this on my own thats why im looking into it so early.

The language thing yeah i do have a passion for it and i'll be taking a course here in october and see how i get on with it. alot of people say learn another language apart from Polish but for me i want to be able to speak Polish really.

Hopefully i can be one of those succesfull people ;-)

Travel / First visit to Poland in 20 years - bus/traintravel around the country [11]

I would recomend Krakow, a very nice place and so much history, the trio cities (gdansk, gdynia, sopot) and know there is a national Park somewhere near Bialystok but i can't remember the name of it. It's part of the largest forest now left in europe, i know part of the forest is in Poland and alot is in neighbouring Belarus, but i don't go much by Bialystok

Love / What differences is there among Polish girls and British girls as girlfriends? [102]

I don't think it's about Generalizing. Someone might say they think Polish women are the best but that's because it's his personal preference. Personally i think that european women in general know how to look after themselves and their men much better :-) but that's my opinion

Thank you i appreciate that Lordfab. Are you on facebook? Yeah hopefully i will pick it up as im trying before i get there.

I must addmit i am abit nervous as it's a big step and im doing it by myself and don't know anyone there. I do have a great pasiion. Don't know where it came from i just fell in Love with Poland when i first went, like anything in life you don't choose to. But none of my friends understand why, but then they havn't been

Yeah know worries. So i have been to a few places. czestochowa, bialystock, krakow, warsaw, orzysz, gdansk, gdynia, sopo, hel and a few other villages, i found Krakow to be the most cultural with alot of nationalities and always something happening. I also think it would be the best place for me to find a job with having alot of tourism.Some people may disagree but this is just my opinion and the place i prefer. But i have considered Sopot as i really liked it there

What about Lublin

Well one reason is i have never been. It's a big move as i'm doing it on my own so i'm choosing somewhere that i've been before and somewhere i think i'll be happy to stay
