This one I can help with! I live in Lomza and have for 7 years now. The owner of Lingua (Steph) is a Canadian who had also lived and taught here in Lomza for about 8 years. She decided to open her own school this year and has many students who followed her from the old school to this new one. However, I know very little about the school other than that she and the few teachers that I know are excellent teachers.
liljohn400: Hi I just wondered if anyone can tell me anything about life in Lomza, as I have a job offer there. Is it a cheap place to live compared to Warsaw or other parts of Poland? What kind of entertainment and shopping services does it have? Is there a hospital there? or how easy is it to get medical care as an EU citizen? Finally, my job offer is from a new school called Linguo,they seem a good place, but does anyone have a 3rd party opinionon the school, maybe you are a student or something? I hope someone can help me.
Lomza is a fairy cheap place to live. Rent is cheap compared to a big city and food is very reasonable.
Entertainment...huh that is a tough one. There is a movie theatre but they are now building a new shoppng center. I have heard rumors that it will be a Tesco and others that say it will be a mall with a theatre and a Tesco. One thing I can say is that Lomza is growing and getting better every year. Shopping is also better than it used to be.
Yes there is a hospital. Quite a good one. I delivered both of my children there and also was in a few other times. It also helps to know doctors. I am quite sure though that Steph and the others will help you out if the need arises.
If you have any more questions feel free to contact me on here. I will be happy to help. There are actually only a handful of expats in town but there are a few great bars with lots of people who are very interested in meeting English speaking people.
May I ask...and I know this may seem strange, but are you introverted? Extroverted? Shy? Outgoing? What are your interests?
