My boyfriend has 100% polish parents and...?


I was wondering what random fact or something about poland that I could know to impress them?

The Krakow museum is only one of six in the world to have a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, and only one of three to have a portrait of a lady by Leonardo.

One traveled Frenchman observed in the 18th century that Krakow's Wieliczka salt mine was no less magnificent than the Egyptian pyramids.

i dont know...... but i am in the same situation as you... why dont you try learning a few words, it worked for me.....they loved it! and at least when they are talking you'll know what they are saying and you can join conversation (even in english) i have leant so much....the more you are around it the easier it is...

if you want to know somenhing about Poland:

Learn some words with your boyfriend for example :
dzie艅 dobry dzi臋kuj臋:P
and buy something special:)
good luck

try learing something in polish like:
jak sie masz ( how are you)
dziekuje bardzo ( thank you so much )
etc......
or read somethign about poland history ( it can be bored like all history facts for me )

well for one. Don't be nervous. Polish people are SO accepting and i'm sure they'll be very nervous to meet you. So try to put them at ease and you will start to relax as well.Ask your boyfriend about some simple phrases in polish like hello (dzien dobry)pronounced ...ahhh never mind he can help you (laughs) just be yourself and compliment a lot. works for whatever culture and unless your eating out be prepared for bread and sausage. So if you're not a sausage fan, don't emphasize that you're that hungry ha ha. good luck
