Polish signs

Posted by: Michał In: it's a sign!

Hiya, I’m back. Spent two glorious weeks on the beach in Greece, swimming in the sea, eating and drinking too much. Nothing new then.

Greetings – polish your Polish, part 3

Posted by: Michał In: polish your Polish

So, I got carried away with my previous polish your Polish post, but I had to tell you how to express love in Polish, ok? Sorry if my voice sounded very uninspiring, but somehow the idea of expressing my feelings to an inanimate object (i.e. my microphone) didn’t quite work for me.
Hence today I’m going [...]
