Do People Speak English In Poland

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences One might be forgiven for thinking that English is a ubiquitous language.

Teaching English in a country where you do not speak the local language is indeed possible and quite common. It is essential to understand the local context, including the English proficiency level of your students, the cultural norms, and the educational system.
