How to ask questions at the Polish tourist information agency Posted by Kasia on Jun 8, 2017 in Phrases
Thanks to the energy and resiliency of its people, Poland has emerged as one of Europe’s greatest post-communist success stories. Known mostly for the medieval architecture, hearty cuisine, and Jewish heritage, this small country on the Baltic Sea has risen above a bleak history to become a growing tourist destination. Where to go, what to do, where and what to eat, what is safe and what’s not? All these questions can be answered at tourist agencies!
So how do we exactly ask the right questions? Most places in Poland have staff that speaks English. But who wouldn’t like to take the conversation to the next step and ask theses questions in Polish?
