Genealogy / Looking for people with the surname Legacki [5]

Hello Polish people of the internet,

Do any of you know a Legacki?

Does the name mean anything? I tried looking for similar words in the dictionary but didn't find anything substatial.

Also, is there a difference between -ski and -cki? I was once told that the last name with one of those endings meant that they were a szlachta family. Is that true?

Thanks,

Work / Hoping to move to Poland this September as ESL teacher [5]

Hello everyone,

I know this kind of post has been done to death, but I thought I'd give it another go for myself. I am interested in living in a major Polish city working in ESL. I have been working as an ESL teacher for almost two years, mainly at Berlitz and a little on my own as well. I have a TEFL and University degree. My first choice was Krakow but from what I've read already the place is filled with English speakers along with Warsaw. I don't know much about the job markets in Poznan or Gdansk. If anyone could point in the right direction or if they have a lead I could follow it would be most appreciated. I am also open to working as something else, though I have a humanities degree and I doubt that will get me far. Also: I've reached A2 proficiency level in Polish, but its been so long since I really used it that it might take a few weeks in Poland before it is near that level again.

Thanks for the advice/help
