When I was in junior high (so quite a few years ago now) I got totally obsessed with Myers-Briggs Personality Test. I'm not sure if you're familiar with what it's all about so I'll explain it in a few words. The test was created by a psychologist duo: Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs (who are actually mother and daughter) to indicate which type of personality has the person taking the test. They distinguished 16 types of personality. Each one has a name consisting of four letters. Each letter corresponds to one dimension of human behavior. Every one of the four dimensions has two variants. I know it all saound complicated and messy but here's some practical information: 1. The first dimesion tells if someone is an extravert or an introvert. And of course it has two variants: E and I . 2. The second dimesion discribes the way in which the person collects information about the world surrounding them. It can be either sensing - S or intuition - N . 3. The t...

Today I'd like to tell you a little bit about what've helped me the most while learning English. Because lessons at school are just one part of it. Let's face it: you won't learn how to speak a language only by listening about grammar and taking countless vocabulary tests. Of course it's all important but it can't be just that. I have to admit though that I was lucky enough to have some really great English teachers during my school years. Firstly in elementary school my parents insisted that my sister and I took extra English classes after school. We would go to the house of our tutor two times a week. He was a retired army officer so you can imagine that he was pretty strict and demanding. For example we had to write a text consisting of at least 15 sentences for each lesson. I didn't like that at the time but now I'm grateful because it taught me how to be regular and organized in my process of learning. Then in junior high I had an English teach...

Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about my family and my roots. Both my Mom's and my Dad's grandparents after the World War II decided to settle in Lower Silesia, the land that was reclaimed by Poland after the war, in exchange of some teritories in the East that were attached to the Soviet Union. Both of my parents were born and raised in the same small village right next to the city of Wrocław, called Długołęka (the name could be translated to English as "long meadow"). What's more, they were both born in the same year so starting from nursery school they went to the same class. They even danced together a traditional Polish dance "krakowiak" during one of the performances in the nursery school. (Pesonally I think that's adorable!). They were each other's high school sweet-hearts and after getting married they decided they wanted to stay in Długołęka. They built a house there in which we all live right now. And by "us all...
