I was really looking forward to our first meetup of 2020 in Chester Storyhouse. Gathering together to practise the language in a less formal setting than a classroom. Since last year I have been encouraging members to prepare a presentation about a freely chosen topic related to Polish culture or language. The idea is working well and this month, after initial warm up activities I handed over the baton to one of the members, Andrew Waller. Andrew prepared a very interesting presentation about Poznań. We also had a chance to check first hand information about this beautiful and historic city from a native born Poznanianka – Alina, Andrew’s wife -the main reason for his Polish learning!
For myself, I learnt new words in Polish. I knew that ziemniaki that I call kartofle (I’m from Silesia) in the local dialect are pyry, but that’s it. I love zakluczyć – to lock the door with the key.
