Answer the questions below.

When you speak English do you translate your thoughts from Polish to English?

TRANSCRIPT

Not now, but before, yes, I did. When I started learning English, I always translated from Polish in my head. It was slow, and sometimes I made mistakes. But now, I don’t translate. I think in English because I have practiced a lot. Living in Oxford helped me. I use English every day, so now it feels natural.

Do you think it is possible to learn English just by watching movies or series?

TRANSCRIPT

I think movies and series help a lot, but they are not enough. When I moved to England, I watched a lot of films in English. It helped me learn new words and hear how people really speak. But to speak well, you also need to practice. I talked with people at work and in shops. That was very important. So, movies are good, but you need to use English in real life too.

Do you feel stressed when you have to speak English with strangers?

TRANSCRIPT

“Oh, one really happy moment? There are quite a few, but let me think… Okay, got it! It was the day I got my dream job offer. I was at home, checking my emails, not expecting much. And there it was – the offer letter! I remember feeling this huge rush of excitement and I just started jumping around my living room. It was a job I really wanted, and I’d worked so hard for it. I felt so proud and, well, over the moon! It was like all my efforts had finally paid off. That day was just full of laughter and celebration with my friends and family. Definitely a memory I cherish!”
