Back to school – school vocabulary in Polish Posted by on Aug 16, 2018 in Culture, Phrases, Vocabulary

My kids still have a little time left before going back to school, but a lot of students in US already started school! First day of school is always such an important day for both parents and students! Meeting new teachers, meeting new friends, reconnecting with teachers you know and friends you missed!

About the Author: Kasia

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.

    My mother is of 100% Polish descent. I want to be able to read Genealogical records from the 1800’s, many of which are hand written. Even if I don’t learn this much, I feel I have a connection with my ancestors and would love to know as much as I can.
