In Hungary, most people speak English. There are a lot of American expatriates there, so if you really need to find someone like you, you'll be able to. A lot of tourists go to Vacy Utca in Budapest, so you'll probably be able to find people there if you're really lonely. Of course, your exchange program should also provide a way for you to meet other exchange students.
2 :
In Poland majority of young people speak English. Older people (like around 40 years old) had learnt Russian instead of English in schools so you might have some problems when talking to them. As for social life it depends on the city.
3 :
In Hungary, many people speak English, you can perfectly live here without knowing Hungarian. Budapest is a quite touristic city so you will find english speakers everywhere. Restaurants usually have menus in English, there are cinemas that show movies in original language......etc . Some universities offer programs in English, so you will find lots of foreigner students. I talk about Budapest because I live here, and I am not Hungarian, but i can not tell you anything about Poland. Good luck!! Hope you choose Hungary, this is a great country!!!

I need information on wheelchair travel to Poland including to Auschwitz?
I need information on wheelchair travel to Poland including to Auschwitz?
A college student who uses a wheelchair wants to go with an educational group on a trip to Poland including to Auschwitz. He will need accessible transportation, hotels and access to sites. All I have been able to find is an accessible hotel in Warsaw. I have accessed many sites on travel for persons with disabilities.

You should research hotels in Krakow, about 30-45 min away from Auschwitz. Krakow is the biggest tourist trap in Poland, try http://www.krakow.pl/en/. Have a great trip!!!

http://www.poland-tourism.pl/note.asp?ld=EN&tf=PL&tp=&gc=PL&wd=&oi=desc/PL00000000000620 They should be able to help you. However, don't count for much - Poland isn't a wheelchair-friendly enviroment, and althouh people are likely to go to great lenghts to help a disabled person (povided you ask them to), there are still a lot of architectonical barriers. The Oswiecim (where Auschwitz Museum is located) is accessible either by train, or by bus. Long-range buses in Poland are definitely not wheelchair-friendly, neither your typical cruise buses are. Trains - the short-range suburban trains have wide access doors, the regular carriages have more conventional, narrow doors. However, if the station's platform is a low one (a common sight outside of main cities), it's completely impossible for a person on wheelchair to get out of a train on his/her own. Even with a high platform, I don't think it would be easy, if possible at all. Still, you're going as a group, so I suppose there would be possible to get other group members to help the person on the wheelchair. Also, as for the train, you can ask for train personnel's help. When I was wisiting Oswiecim by train, the station had a low platform. However, this was over 10 years ago. As for the Museum at Auschwitz, most places will be not accessible for a wheelchair. The original barracks of the concentation camp had no wheelchair ramps when I was there 4 years ago, and i doubt whether it would change. After all, the Museum is going to great lenghts to keep everything as close to the original impression as they can, and originally there were no ramps.

Etiquette for visiting a house in Poland?
Etiquette for visiting a house in Poland?
Hi, I am from Greece, now I am in Warsow (student) and I am going to visit a Polish home. I haven't done this before. What's the etiquette? What gift should I bring? If the invitation is on 8 going there at 8.30 is a good time? (It's common in Greece!) Should I offer to remove my shoes?

Never ask if they like Polish Sausage.
2 :
The shoes are a touchy subject. In my part of Poland it is expected of guests to remove their shoes. In other areas it is regarded as offensive to a guest. Poles often argue about the shoe thing. To be safe, if the host is not wearing his/her shoes, take off yours as well. If you are visiting other students, a bottle of wine (or vodka) is a good gift. If you are visiting somebody older, bring some flowers (for a woman) or a bottle of wine (for a man) If the invitation is for 8 pm, you should show up at 8 pm
3 :
nemeczek is right. You can always ask if you have to remove your shoes: some Polish people find it rude to be asked to remove their shoes, but some think it's normal. Best time to appear is at 8 till 8:15. But not before 8. You can bring a wine, vodka, flowers or some chocolates. Or generally something to eat, like a Greek speciality, I think they'll find it nice. Good luck and have a nice time!
4 :
If you have a invitation about 8;00 pm you should show up at this time.When you knock the door and somebody open is nice to say 'Good evening (MRS or Mr.) Also is nice bring some flowers for the lady at the house and some wine for the men.Most of the shoes you should remove them by the entry-it's nice -it's show yours manor.
5 :
A good time to arrive is 8-8:15 it is rude to be more late! If the person you visit has no shoes on take yours off but you don't have to unless they explicitly ask. A good annd common present is a good wine or vodka or nalewka =, maybe some chocolates or flowers have a nice time
6 :
Ok well first of all never call then "you" only refer to them as Mr and Mrs. Never say cześć pronounced, "cheshch" if talking to an older person instead use the term "dzien dobry" it's much more polite. polish people always say you don't have to take your shoes off however it's best to take them off. I think that's a good time polish people stay up late (most depends on age). you can bring something. (optional) and that's about it be sure to use please and thank yous (like me most polish people talk a lot and use hand gestures)

Oxford University - international student wanting to apply?
Oxford University - international student wanting to apply?
I was wondering, what you need to do to get there provided you are an international student (Poland precisely). I heard you need to have either CPE (B mark) or CAE (A mark) or some others, but I think I would rather focus on these ones (they are permanent, the fact which would come in handy during job applications in future). As far as the exams goes, I heard you need to have like 90% of 'Matura' (Polish exam of maturity), but what else ? You need some unusual qualifications ? I've been wondering also about the fees - if you would do great during the 'Matura' or whatsoever would you still need to pay ? I am not really that much well-informed about the UK schools, so I don't know anything notwithstanding I would like to go there. So here is the abridged version of what I wrote - questions: 1. What do you need to apply for Oxford ? 2. What are the fees, and when you don't need to pay them ? 3. Concerning the fees, what are they approximately ? 4. Are there any alternatives, and what would the prices be ? I don't have that much money, but going to such 'elite' university would be great. 5. What is the price of the accommodation in the dorms? I heard there was some strike concerning the students' fees. Thanks in advance !

http://www.britishcouncil.pl/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 This is a Polish message board about studies in UK If you are Polish you might not be "international" but "EU national" (so you will pay EU fees which are less expensive) Don't bother with CAE or CPE. IELTS is waay easier to pass. It is valid for 2 years but trust me "eternal" validity is not worth so much extra effort. 1. Matura with at least 3 Advanced Level subjects. Also to get offer you need to go through interviews. It's not easy to get an offer and it depens how competitive your course is. 2,3,4 Oxford's fees are not higher than other universities'. You can apply for loan from governament and pay back after you graduate and have a job.

a) you should try bringing it up early, not like a month before you want to go. slowly talk them into the idea. when they see you aren't going to give up they might be willing to think about it. b) if you find a cheap plane ticket it could be around $750-800 roundtrip. but you really have to search. plus maybe $500 spending money? depends on how long you want to stay. c) i would say the best time to go is summer. summers in poland are very beautiful- and not overwhelmingly hot. try visiting gdynia/gdansk north by the baltic sea. it's simply amazing! have fun & good luck!

if u are seriously, its still enough time untill next summer...nowadays already autumn. :-D and you should tell us about your hometown/place and where's your destination state in Poland. Thanks and good luck!

5 :
Adusia gave you an informative answer. I would like to add, the best time to go is in the spring when every thing is blooming, the day is long, the weather is great and if you go b-4 mid May, the tickets are the lease expensive. The $ converstion is about $1 to 3 Zloty and the prices are cheap when you have dollars or Euro. I am from Wroclaw, it is in south west Poland, with rich history and modern culture. It is a big city with a lot to see. Poland is just beautiful where ever you'll go.

You can go there anytime of the year. Poland is a nice place.
