Brits in POLAND... A question about language!
Hi everyone!
I'm just wondering how you are getting on with the language, living in Poland? Did you try to learn some before you moved, or did you take a course over there? (if so, any recommendations?)
I'm going to be moving to Poland next year because i want a new adventure and also i want to improve my very basic Polish. I've been told the language is very very difficult (yes i know this) and will take me forever to learn (i'm only in my 20s so time isnt really an issue) but it'd be nice to hear some positive stories about the language issue from some brits.
Oh and i'm definitely going to be coming along to some of the ex-pat meets when i'm in Warsaw
Thanks for any comments, tips, suggestions, etc.

Anyway, we met many many polish folks while we were there and they were very kind, in helping me with my basic polish. I think you will find that the younger generation speak english very well, you may met some older folks that speak no english, but some sign language, patience and kindness go a long way in getting your point or question across.
Hope y ou enjoy poland as much as we did. Make sure you get to Krakow and Auschwitz - you'll love krakow much nicer than warsaw!
