convex: And if any university student even mentions struggling under communism, then they've been in uni way too long and their opinions don't really matter :)
Actually, that's a very good point. Then I can check the "communism" part off the list.
Bzibzioh: You will be welcome at the beginning with curiosity;
I hope with not TOO much curiosity :)
Bzibzioh: But after that curiosity wears off, you will be treated as any other person
That's more what I was hoping for. Thank you so much for the opinion. Thanx to everyone actually for their opinions.
Bzibzioh: provided that your Polish accent will be not that much off.
Oh that might be a bit of a problem...My accent is a bit strange when I speak Polish. Hopefully that will change within a few years of studying in Poland?
PennBoy: So I'm guessing you were a little girl when you left Poland? I don't know if you still speak Polish but knowing it will make ur life much easier.
Not at all. I was born in South Africa :) I can speak and write in Polish. However, I do sometimes have problems understanding when people born and bred in Poland speak? I reckon though I should catch on quite quickly if I'm exposed to it every day.
Can anyone also advise me on the following in connection with what language I should study in, in Poland if I do go there? As you know it's a choice between Polish and English. Naturally the English studies cost more, but I'll be able to understand everything the professors say. On the other hand, if I study in Polish, the tuition fees are less, but I'm worried I might struggle in the beginning. I speak Polish with my parents, but I tend to insert English phrases a little too often when I'm lazy to think of the wording in Polish. Any suggestions?? Feel free to "test" my level of Polish if need be ;)
