Life / Tips / Help on moving to Poland from Australia [2]

Hello everyone,

I'm a 28 yr old male which is moving to Gdansk in 6 months from Australia.

I'm in the process of working out where to live ( any advice on places to live and where not to live ).
I will be moving by myself and am wondering how i can go about making new friends and if i will need to learn polish fluently.

I'm learning polish now, but it's incredibly difficult as you all know so progress is slow.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
