Brazilian moving to Poland - Help!

I`m from Brazil married with a polish guy and... guess what... living in London for now. We both like London, have quite "good" jobs, but when thinking about having a family London is just not the right place. We`ve already started paying a mortgage for a flat in Poznan where my husband`s family lives, so we definetely are on our way.
Is there any brazilian people living in Poland and does anyone else have any ideas what could I do there? What kind of job???? I`m having polish lessons here in London but what a difficult language is that???? Besides all my husband`s positive words, I`m really scared.
Please, any tips would be of huge appreciation.
Thanks

I guess it depends on your education. You may consider teaching English for a start if you are fluent. Getting some certification in that department in London would be a good idea before moving to Poland.

PS. Poland is pretty open to new things, so perhaps there is something you can "export" from the Brazilian culture and eventually make money of it. Just a suggestion.
Good luck!

I went to university, have a bacharel (that`s how it says in english?) in Tourism, but to be honest I think to do anything with my qualifications I`d need first a veeery good polish. My english is not bad, but far away from being perfect, plus there are so many native english speakers in Poland that I don`t see why a polish person would prefer to learn it with a brazilian person. Am I wrong??? Is there anybody interested in learning portuguese at all?? I don`t think so ;((((
Well, thanks again for the tips.

No need to be scared. Through personal contacts of your hubby you are likely to find something you like and in a year or two you'd pick up polish by being around it.

I know of a lot of Poles living in Brazil, but not the other way around. But I think immigration reached its height during WWII. Poznan is supposed to be a fantastic city, from what I hear. I'm also debating a similar move, but frankly, I'd rather stay in London. Then again, I'm childless, so your case is different. All the best of luck to you.

If I would move or not was something I couldn`t stop thinking about, it was driving me crazy, but after sometime I just thought about the pros and cons of each place and yes, London is a great place to live for a while, so many things you can do, restaurants, concerts to die for, shops, museums, but in few years time if I will definetely decide to have children, I`m sure nice forests, lakes, peace and lower costs of life are the things I will be looking for. I hope I will never regret, anyway we can always come back;) The best of luck to you too.

Maybe try what a lot of British people do who live in London- commute. Live outside London, somewhere nicer with a bit of greenery but close enough to London for you to work and go out.

It`s expensive and besides that I don`t feel like spending 3 hours of my day just to commute to work and come back home. In general life style here is not the best one... I wanna change!

of course!!!! just check it out in private schools and they'll beg you on their knees to encourage you to teach there :)

portuguese is still quite "oriental" language for Poles and you may think that they are not interested..that's wrong! they just don't have opportunity to try it because of small number of portuguese native speakers ( or in general people who speak it)
