17 JUL. 2021 · Are you wondering why foreigners should speak Polish in Poland? You still don't know what power Poles have? Can't say who the expats in Poland are? In this episode I'm going to talk to Phil from Australia about these and many other interesting topics in my latest interview :) Phil is an Australian from Melbourne who has been living in Warsaw for several years. He has been learning Polish with me for 5 years. He started from scratch and now speaks fluently. He achieved this thanks to his determination. He decided that he would do what he could to learn the language spoken in his "second home", that is in Poland. In the interview, we will talk about, among others: • Why did the Australian from Melbourne move to Warsaw? • Where did he work in Australia and where is he working now? • Why is it worth it for foreigners to speak Polish in Poland? • What is Phil's new linguistic goal? • What is the difference in mentality between Poles and Australians? • Who are the expats in Poland? • How did it happen that Phil founded the Australian football league in Poland? • What is the strength of Poles? Special task *** :) The interview is entirely in Polish and therefore I have a special assignment for you. You can do it as an exercise and try to translate excerpts from the interview into English. In this way, we can help viewers who do not yet know the Polish language on a level like you, understand the content of the interview. You can send your translations to magda.trawinska@yahoo.com Links to Phil's website: expatspoland.com (blog about Poland for foreigners) and https://futbolaustralijski.pl/
