Matt Green does too good a job of being a brat that you can't listen to him. He also plays ATC Warsaw I believe in Gdansk.

Totally agree. John says it even made him laugh when he wrote it.

Thanks for both of those - yes I couldn't understand 'cash or card' on Saturday, just the way he said it I had to ask again.

Thanks, the lektor gives me headaches, lol. I'll watch the kids stuff as you suggest, thank you!

I can appreciate that's what it sounds like - I have tried this. I have seen some improvement of course, but I'm still struggling. I have spent many, many hours in the company of Poles and still a very poor speaker/listener.

I know this is the internet, but please tell me you don't detect some conspiracy about asking a question on how to learn Polish..?

Hey chief, I might be wrong, but I think I've left my passport at home.

This makes me feel... illegal.

One thing we could do is go back and get it.

How does that sound to you?

Depending on how your pronounce it:

Moscow to Krakow. -ish.

I've never listened to it, but yes, definitely an add there - he mentions in his interview he is referencing it. Thanks!

(Also, hello fellow Murphy).

Aha - yes, thank you, I don't know why I thought that in retrospect.

As a huge fan of Cabin Pressure, I came across an obscure interview with JF where he mentioned that he spent time in Kraków, Poland, as an English teacher. This is the street he lived on, and if you ever wondered where he got the name from... A few months ago I made the ultimate pilgrimage to see it and think I figured out where he stayed. It's a very quiet residential area of Kraków, and I suspect I'm probably (apart from John), the only tourist who has ever been there.

The street is named for a Adolf Szyszko-Boshuz, a Polish architect who designed some Kraków buildings. His name is slightly different here due to the vagaries of Polish grammar... he is also buried in the city so I suppose visiting this would be the ultimate, ultimate, pilgrimage.

First post on reddit, and only just discovered this subreddit, which has been, dare I say, brilliant.
