NY student teaching english in Poland?

NY student teaching english in Poland?
NY student teaching english in Poland? I am a 20 year old student living in NY, but i am of Polish decent, and all my family and relatives live in PL. My grandpa said he'd be able to get me a job teaching English over the Summer in Poland, however, I dont even speak Polish. Do you think he's right, that id be able to get a job teaching english without speaking the native language? And also, if i were to get a job there, do you think itd be worth it, or is the polish currency much lower that US, where i wouldnt make too much when i turn it into US money?

Well, as for economics, Poland is an echelon lower than first rate countries (France, America, Italy, Japan etc.) Yet, it is on the highest level of developing from a socialist economy. The economics and financial situation there will be a bit crappier than that of the US, but nothing that is a total game changer. Many Poles know english on survival level. Yet, knowing Polish would be a huge benefit. Would you survive in Poland without Polish, as a teacher? Depends on where you teach, Warshawa (Warsaw) would be easier than, per se, Lublin, a working class town. Will your job be a hell of a lot easier with Polish? Yes. I hope I helped
