There’s something interesting about many of the English-speaking nationals (HCNs!) – quite a few of them were taught English by British native speakers. The resulting accent is very charming and has a pleasant bounce to it.
I finally tried my power converters with my CD player – it’s a good thing I bought my own because the one Mark gave me doesn’t cut the voltage down enough. I’ll be able to use it with my computer, though – at least in theory. For a while, it didn’t look as if either of them was going to work and it left me with quite a helpless feeling. I guess I might be able to get one in Warsaw, maybe. At any rate, the problem is solved for the moment.
I guess I need to do some studying now. I might get Piotr and/or his mother to help me out. I think soon, as I learn more Polish I will get Piotr to stop talking to me in English primarily. Otherwise, I’ll never learn Polish.
