Here Barb tells us what to do in order to register birth certificates of minors born abroad...
Today we have a guest post by our favorite guest blogger, Barbara, about how to register your foreign birth certificate in Poland. All explained very clearly step by step in an easy to follow manner. This process is very important if you are planning to confirm your Polish citizenship...
A friend asked me a very theoretical question, and it went more or less like this: “OK, let’s say that, theoretically of course, I am going to be visiting Poland around Christmas, or at the very least - Greenpoint. Wh...
November 11. Święto Niepodległości. Independence Day. I wrote about it last year, if I remember correctly. So, this year, let’s celebrate it a little bit differently - with a song (and dance, but that’s optional). I have...
Remember Barb’s guest post about her trip to Poland? In it, at the very end, she mentioned, humorously no doubt, the famous Polish wildlife specimen – wściekły pies (rabid dog). That...
Just yesterday someone asked me for examples of words (Polish words, of course) that sound the same, are spelled the same, but mean something totally different. You know, like in English light, and right, and stuff like that. Can’t think of more examples right off the bat. Oh yeah, and a bat. ...
So, let’s go back to the issue of kombinowanie for a few more minutes. Turns out that the person who claims that Poles are a cheating, scheming and otherwise dishonest bunch also reads this blog. Oh, hi! Small world, isn’t it? Thank you for providing us with such an interesting discussion topic! An...

English is spoken by one out of every six people in the world. It is the primary language of the United States, Australia, the U.K., and the anglophone territories of Canada, making it second only to Mandarin Chinese in number of speakers. English belongs to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family of languages.... The great number of words found in the English vocabulary is in large part due to extensive borrowings from other languages, including Latin, French, Low German, and the Scandinavian languages.Read More

The other day I was getting ready to go out and do some shopping, and because we live a bit outside the city center (ok, more than a bit, we live in the sticks) I said that I was going to town - do miasta. Idę do miasta....
Today we will tackle something that is a bit controversial. Or maybe not, I guess it all depends on your point of view. But we’ll see. I really don’t like sweeping generalizations, though that doesn’t stop me in making them myself from time to time, to be perfectly honest. So m...
There are many definitions and examples of comfort food – I’m pretty sure that every culture has its very own typical dishes that fall into this category. And one thing is certain, when you’re sick you crave that yummy, comforting goodness. And I am and I do. But what do I crave? Kapu...
I was going to stay in bed and marinate under the covers for one more day (yes, my cold has morphed into a full-blown bronchitis now) but a reader’s email made me crawl out to face the enemy. ...
I’m so sorry this post is late, but I have a very good excuse – I’m sick. Totally and utterly sick. Not the new flu (thankfully), but the whole nine yards nevertheless: katar (runny nose), kaszel (cough), ból gardła (sore throat) and everything else that comes with it. In oth...
With all this recent excitement over Bielsko Biała, I totally forgot that yesterday (wczoraj, 14 października) was Dzień Nauczyciela (Teacher’s Day). Now, I’m the first one to admit, I don’t like Dzień Nauczyciela. Never liked it and probably never will. It’s lik...
In his comment to the Bielsko-Biała post Mchl posed an interesting question: what do you call a person who lives in Bielsko-Biała? Yeah, indeed… An inhabitant of Gdańsk is called gdańszczanin (masculine; gdańszczanka – feminine). A person who lives in Warsaw? Warszaw...
