I went to Poland to improve my English level, when I arrived there I realized that only young people speak English (actually like in Spain) so I had to look for other ways to practice my English. It wasn't difficult to find the opportunity: International students. I started to get on with students from other countries (Germany, Portugal, Italy, Slovakia, Turkey) so at the end of this experience I am quite satisfied with my progress.

En Wrocław hablan en polaco, la mayoría de la gente, que no os engañen. Yo viene pensando que practicaría el inglés en la universidad, y después sólo puedes hablar con la poca gente que sabe inglés. Así que cabe la opción de aprender polaco. Te dan un curso de polaco, pero es muy diferente. Al final estoy aprendiendo un poco.

It was quite hard to learn the basic of polish but in the end I could manage my self. English is rare among non students but there are lots of students and people willing to help you in anything.
