Life / Are Xbox games in Poland translated into Polish? [8]

Merged: Does anyone have Dying Light for Xbox One?

I'm talking about the Polish edition specifically. I know that it is down as being Polish dubbed but was wondering if it has the option for English as well or if I should just buy it from Britain instead?

Life / Are there January Sales in Poland? [7]

I use Ceneo all the time, it's a good website. Maybe I will just buy it now instead then.

Thanks for the advice.

Life / Are there January Sales in Poland? [7]

Are there January Sales in Poland or does everything remain the same price?

I ask because I want to buy an Xbox One and i'm not sure if I should get it now or wait a week in case they go down in price.

Law / How much would I have to earn before paying the tax office in Poland? [17]

I was only thinking of charging 30 per hour because I don't have teaching qualifications so would be offering my services only as someone for people to practise their English with. I feel if I were to charge more I would be asking too much.

Law / How much would I have to earn before paying the tax office in Poland? [17]

There's a difference between thinking having to pay something even if you don't earn enough to pay it is stupid, and not liking the country. Considering the name you have chosen would it not be prudent of you to actually give out advice instead of interpreting things incorrectly?

Law / How much would I have to earn before paying the tax office in Poland? [17]

So with my son finally being firmly rooted in nursery I was thinking about offering my services as a native speaker to have conversations with.

I have questions relating to this when it concerns the tax office. I have been reading about paying ZUS and the different rates but haven't been able to find the answer to one question.

How much would I have to be earning before I had to start paying any of that to the tax office?

From reading the ZUS is 300pln per month for the first 2 years and 800 thereafter, so if it doesn't go well and I have no other jobs lined up before the 2 year reduced rate is over, there would be the possibility of 800 being too much. Even 300 seems too much if I am just starting out. So if anyone could answer my question I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.

Work / Jobs for a Native English Speaker in Konin Area? [21]

I am being very serious, you "speak" as though it's your second language rather than your first.

You say you have a job in three different language schools, I hope they have nothing to do with teaching.

You used the word of instead of have and that is something taught to children at a young age.
You also said, "I have found work at a language schools in Konin, Turek and Pleszew." If you can't see the issue with that sentence then you should think about working somewhere other than a language school.

You know what, I just realised I was replying to someone else instead of the original poster. I was sure I saw his name on the post.

Come on though, you can't deny his English is a little bit rubbish.

Work / Jobs for a Native English Speaker in Konin Area? [21]

I'm not going to lie, you don't seem like a native speaker at all. It seems more like you learned it as a second language at a young age, but not young enough to have mastered it.

Work / English Teaching/Work in Wroclaw (for a young female from Canada)? [7]

Merged: Looking to advertise myself for English language conversations - but where?

Hello, my wife has advised me that I should put myself up for hire for people looking to practise and improve their English via Skype in exchange for money. The question is, does anyone know of any good websites where I could advertise my services?

Thanks in advance.

Law / Do I need proof of name change when registering in Poland? [2]

So I was going to be registering tomorrow and I was looking at the form before filling it in and noticed it asks for previous surnames. My name was changed as a child and I then changed it myself as an adult.

Does anyone know if the documents are required, translated of course, or will just my passport do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Law / Can you examine goods before paying courier in Poland? [4]

Basically, my father-in-law ordered something and it came by a courier you have to pay. What he got is not what he ordered.
Now I am thinking of purchasing something which will cost close to 300zl and I don't want to get ripped off. So am I able to open the package and check to make sure the goods are correct before I pay the courier or not?

Law / Divorce in Poland - do I have the right to enter my own home? [10]

You can even live there with him living there too as long as it is in your name as well. He could go to court and unless he could prove you're a danger to him or the house then they wouldn't be able to do a thing.

My wife has even told me about people who have got divorced but because both names were on the home the judge said both could live there.

Love / Am I The Only One Who Doesn't Find Polish Women Attractive? [93]

Lastly, we( educated people ) know that liking someone is all about biology. To produce better human race, we need better genes, and when we're looking for someone to have sex, our biological consciousness searching for girl who has good genes to make a child.

Hahaha, oh my Lord you are deluded! The fact that you believe that shows you are not an educated person, because an educated person knows that finding someone attractive is just something that happens, and whilst we can say we prefer certain traits and attributes the person we fall in love with might not necessarily have any of them.

UK, Ireland / Question about UK Government Reach! Polish citizen vs HMRC [2]

If a Polish citizen needs to pay back money to the HMRC in the UK due to overpayment of benefits, are the HMRC or Government in general allowed to find out if the citizen has assets i.e.property in Poland?

Thanks in advance.

I should also mention that the citizen now lives back in Poland.

Life / Amazon stops super saver delivery on orders to Poland [40]

This sucks, I ordered every month from them and the free delivery was a big selling point. Their prices for delivery are stupid though and vary way too much. I wanted to order a game for £18 but delivery was a tenner, however when I checked a game that cost 25, the delivery was 4. They clearly make the cheaper stuff more expensive to send on purpose,they've lost me as a customer most likely.

Love / My Polish wife's mom is asking for money [11]

My wife's mother knew about 1000 we had put away just in case, and something came up that required her to need precisely half. I don't believe it and I don't think my wife did, although she still gave it to her.

I wouldn't pay any of their bills or ever let them know how much you get. In fact I would probably not let your wife know either.

Love / Are Polish men handsome to you? [182]

I've seen 1 or 2 Polish men I would consider handsome, the rest seem to be bordering on average. There are a lot of beautiful women though!
