I am going abroad in 2 weeks to Poland and I want to practice the language… So where can I find people who know the language?
I don’t know how active the polish community on it is in your area, but there’s an app called Amikumu that exists to help connect people with people that speak the languages they are learning.
Depending on where you live, if theres a decent sized polish populationo you can also ask around at polish social clubs, churches, bars/restaurants, etc. Odds are that someone there either speaks at least some polish or knows someone who does.
You could try italki. I’ve not used it myself but it’s got a good reputation.
Not sure if this is a universal concept but most larger cities around here have ‘language cafes’, both for learning the native tongue and for practicing a new language
HelloTalk is an app that’s designed for this. It basically just lets you message people who speak a certain language.
Also Polish discord servers are a good place to start. From top of my head I know streamer ones like JacexDowozWideo or ARHN.EU which both should be welcoming, and even though we’re on lemmy I know that the subreddit r/polska also has a discord server as well, so it should be a nice place to start.
