Greetings from POLAND!

[shnosnas]

Hi,
Few days ago I completed all tests and interviews required to become a specialist in the department of criminal prevention at The Main Police HQ in Warsaw, Poland. I should get employed full time starting September.
The tasks I am going to perform are connected with international police cooperation and implementation of foreign operating methods and equipment within the Polish Police Force. I think I am going to like the job a lot.

I ve got an MA in American Studies and BA in European Studies, and therefore the job suits my interests allright.

For the past few days I enjoyed reading threads here and I decided to become a member myself. So I hope its going to be great pleasure sharing experiences with you guys.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

[shnosnas]

As to what they teach at American Studies Center of Warsaw University:

first year are general courses like: US Politics, US History, US Geography, History of US Literature, US expansionism and so on...

Later you choose specific courses in order to specialize in a very narrow field and acomplish a dissertation on the specific topic.

I chose American 19th century literature, but I decided to combine the 20th century with the 19th, and the title of my dissertation was "Stephen King's American Gothic" (it was a real pain to get it done, believe me).

Welcome to the Forum. It is always cool to correspond with people from other parts of the USA and really cool to meet people from other parts of the world. Our job is necessary and taken for granted my most. It would be interesting to hear about your job duties..

Hello mate, if your spoken English is as good as your written you need to get yourself over here to Peterborough in England, we could do with a few Polish speaking coppers. Welcome to the forum....

[shnosnas]

Ello there,
For 5 years I went to high school and sixth form in North Wembley where I got my GCSE's and A-levels. It was hell of a long time ago, but nevertheless I have tried to maintain he high level of both spoken and written English.
Btw, I ve got a friend in Peterborough - working in the local hospital, but I am not planning to move abroad because of my wife (who is successfully employed here) an my 4 month old son. :-) But in the future...why not. ? :-)

Peterborough is where I'm working at the moment...seem to be paying a visit to speak to someone at the hospital most shifts...It's that kind of job.....
Good luck with your new job.

We have a few rest stops on corners in Chicago called "taverns." Most have signs telling what area of a country the inhabitants come from. Where is the "Zimny Piwo" area of Poland?

Welcome..

[shnosnas]

"zimne piwo" stands for "cold beer" - I haven't heard bout such an area! :-D
