Hello, I'm new to the forum and would like to ask a lot of things about living in Poland. I've been thinking about this for more than a year now, and I think my reason is good enough for wanting a life there.

I met my partner through the internet more than 2 years ago, and so far we've only been seeing each other when I can afford to travel to Poland. Of course, it's absolutely heartbreaking to have to come back to England and be away from each other. Both of us have talked about living together in Warsaw while she is studying for 5 years there.

The first thing is that we are two girls, and I know how hard it is for people like myself and for her to have a life together in somewhere like Poland, as it's not as accepting as the USA or UK for example, of gay people. This hasn't really put me off though, but I'd like to ask if people found out about us would that affect my chances of getting work there? Would I be fired if my boss found out about that? I know they are naive questions, but I really don't know.

Next thing is, how exactly do I go about moving there and being allowed to live/work in Warsaw? I speak VERY little Polish, only simple things (hello, do you speak English, my name is...) and I can't read it. I'm guessing I will really need to learn a lot more of it if I wish to work there.

What kind of jobs are on offer for foreign people? When I think about getting a job where I have to communicate with people a lot, it makes me feel really nervous! I'm afraid to mess up and make a fool out of myself ^//^ because I bet my accent already sounds strange with the Polish language!

I'll ask more when I can think of things I'm curious about, I hope you guys can help me with some advice.
