Why am I here? I’ve always wanted to learn English. I guess it must have started in the early 90’s when I was a kid. Back then Poland had just begun to embrace its newly found identity as a free, democratic, and, above all, capitalist country. One of the signs of the new economic situation was a broader availability of all sorts of goods and services, one of which was satellite television. Obviously, being a kid all that I deemed worthy of watching in general were cartoons, but with all that miraculous technology making its way into Polish homes I was in for a kind of a letdown. Among hundreds of channels to choose from there was only one that I could possibly care about at the time – Cartoon Network - and it was entirely in English. Yet, for me, my sister, and my cousins that was not a problem at all. We would literally spend hours every day watching one cartoon after another and then reenact them in our games, often using our own imperfect reproductions of phrases we’d heard, such as “Stop the pigeon!” or “I’m pleased to meet you, Shadow.” Of course, we were not able to understand anything beyond what was implied through the imagery itself, but the sounds of English seeped into our minds and in my case also into my heart. Now, a quarter of a century later I’m still learning this beautiful language and that’s why I am here. While I’m hoping to receive some feedback and find speaking opportunities, which would enable me to improve my skills, I’d be more than happy to help others learn Polish.
