Halloween or the Feast of the Dead? Is either of the holidays better?

Although Halloween is gaining popularity in Poland, there are still claims that it is a pagan holiday. Not only did it come to us from the US, but it also wants to replace our Polish Day of the Dead. Is this true?

The origins of the Polish Day of the Dead and Halloween are very similar.

Both pagans and early Christians worshipped their dead. In the 14th century, All Saints’ Eve was introduced (in English-speaking countries called “All Hallows’ Eve” – later the name was shortened to Halloween). It was then that the faithful needed to pray for the dead to all the saints. People also needed a holiday to tame their fear of death, cold and long nights.

So can we compare these Holidays?

Nowadays you can see how different these Holidays have gone, although they started out similarly. In the States, or the UK, Halloween is a joyous holiday, full of dressing up, spooky decorations, collecting candy, pranks and parties. In Poland, a quieter tradition has taken hold – we visit the graves of the dead members of our Families, leaving a candle and praying for them.

Therefore, instead of comparing, it is better to have a good time with friends on Halloween, and visit the graves of loved ones the next day. Then no one will feel disadvantaged. In Polish culture, the need to visit cemeteries on the Day of the Dead is so deeply rooted that there is no need to worry that it will be supplanted by Halloween.

2 in 1 – that is, good fun and a time of reflection.

Isn’t it beautiful that in Poland we can have 2 in 1? Even if we return late from a Halloween party on October 31, the next day we will be eager to visit the graves of loved people who have died. After all, the beauty of a lighted cemetery with lots of flowers and that nostalgic atmosphere are unique and worth cultivating.

And what KLUB DIALOGU says about it?

KLUB DIALOGU Polish Language School is a tolerant and open to dialogue school, where students from all over the world learn. That’s why it’s so important to share your traditions and culture with others, but also to draw from other good models. Such an attitude enriches and creates a place that is friendly to everyone. That’s why in our Polish language courses you can feel comfortable and learning is a pleasure.

Praga

PRAGA – is an area of Warsaw on the right-hand bank of the Vistula River.  During World War II, Praga was not badly damaged, so the specific Praga folklore has been preserved.  You can find many gems here, such as shrines in the backyards of tenement houses and traditional craft workshops.  Recently, Praga has become a very popular place among artists and tourists.

Street Art. In Praga

STREET ART is an art form that originated in the mid-1990s: graffiti, murals, stickers, and artwork.  It is art without limits, free in its nature!

Looking for murals in the city is a creative pleasure and a way to spend time actively. There are many murals in Praga, and all of them can be reached by bike or on foot.

Unfortunately, time and weather conditions have a large negative impact on street works.  Falling plaster from buildings, repairs of tenement houses, changeable weather mean that this extraordinary art is destroyed.  So do not hesitate and start this fascinating journey today.

SIMPLE POLISH GRAMMAR. Excuse me, how do I get to KLUB DIALOGU? 

‘I learned about it in the kitchen’, meaning why is it worth learning Polish?

Warsaw is a dynamic, multicultural city.  Global corporations operate here, which means that both Poles and foreigners alike work in Warsaw.  Very often people speak English at work because it is the official language in the office.  It is interesting that in such a situation the Polish language becomes an informal language: Poles like to talk to their colleagues about private matters in Polish.  This also means that the Polish language helps in integrating with other people from work who speak Polish. If you work near Rondo Daszyńskiego, you can easily reach us.

‘Excuse me, how do I get to KLUB DIALOGU?’.  Learn the meaning of selected ‘motion verbs’

Żeby dojechać do Szkoły KLUB DIALOGU, proszę wsiąść do tramwaju 22 lub 24 na Rondzie Daszyńskiego, przejechać 4 przystanki, wysiąść na przystanku Dworzec Centralny, przejść przez ulicę, dojść do bramy wejściowej, wybrać kod, wejść schodami na pierwsze piętro i przejść przez próg lokalu numer 4. Dzieli nas zaledwie 15 minut!

Czasowniki ruchu w języku polskim są bardzo interesujące. O tym, w którym kierunku będziemy się poruszać, informuje prefiks (mała cząstka, która jest na początku). Najpopularniejsze czasowniki to czasowniki ruchu, na przykład: iść (pieszo/na piechotę), jechać (np. tramwajem) oraz wsiąść (do jakiegoś środka transportu).


The grammar of the Polish language is very logical, and the teachers at the KLUB DIALOGU School are great at explaining it during Polish language courses.  Learning Polish is enjoyable, and using the acquired skills is very satisfying, for example when we understand what is gossiped about in work kitchens and canteens ;).

The mermaid is a symbol of Warsaw. The oldest Mermaid dates back to 1400 and looked different than today. Then it took the form of a person with wings and a tail. It’s belly was covered with scales. The mermaid turned into a girl with a fish tail only in 1622. Today, the Mermaid holds a sword and a shield in its hand. 

The Mermaid dated from XVII century

How many Mermaids are there in total in Warsaw? No one has counted. There are a lot of them in the Old Town. But not only. You can find them on buildings, lamp posts, stained glass windows, and signboards. Look around carefully, because Mermaids can be found in many places in Warsaw.

Where can you see the Warsaw Mermaid?

1. The Old Town

Go to the Old Town Square. There, in the middle of the square, you will surely notice the Mermaid right away. The monument was made of bronze zinc in 1855. This mermaid was severely damaged during World War II and restored in 1951.

2. Powiśle

This is the most famous Warsaw Mermaid. It was made of bronze in 1939. It is 4.5 meters tall. The originator of this Mermaid was Stefan Starzyński, the mayor of Warsaw, and the creator – Ludwika Nitschowa. Fortunately, the monument was not destroyed during World War II.

 3. Park Mirowski

Here, the Mermaid is a concrete sculpture, and it’s tail is originally bent and forms a bowl shape. 

 

 4. Wiadukt Markiewicza, Karowa Street

A mermaid has decorated this viaduct since 1905.

 5. Inżynierska Street

You will not find a monument here. Look for the bas-relief located on the building of the former tram depot. Have a nice experience!

 6. Katowicka Street, Saska Kępa

To find the Mermaid, you have to walk around the building of the B. Prus High School. On the side wall, from the side of Katowicka Street, there is a bas-relief made by Wojciech Czerwosz.

 

 7. Grochowska Street, Praga Południe

In front of the Praga Południe District Office, the Mermaid modestly looks down. It has neither a shield nor a sword, but it still inspires the respect of passers-by.

 8. Filter Station Complex, Koszykowa Street

The Filter Station complex consists of historic buildings built in 1883–1886. The bas-relief of the Mermaid, made by Jan Goliński, was placed on the building of the Rapid Filters Plant.

 9. Sejm, Wiejska Street

This Mermaid is hard to see because it is located on the wooden balustrade of government benches in the Seym Hall.

Trivia

Soldiers of the British Queen’s Royal Hussars wear a patch with the Warsaw Mermaid on the left sleeve of their uniforms.  This privilege was granted to them by General Władysław Anders for the support given to Polish soldiers during the Battle of Ancona in 1944.

Learning Polish can be interesting and inspiring. Welcome to the KLUB DIALOGU School of Polish for Foreigners.

Text and photos from Wikipedia: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warszawska_Syrenka

Would you like to start learning Polish, but you don’t know where to start?  Start by checking your language level!  Why is it so important?

At what level should I start learning Polish?

KLUB DIALOGU Polish Language School for Foreigners teaches many levels.  Learning for non-Slavic speakers starts from the A0 level.  It is an important course that familiarises the student with the structure and specificity of the Polish language, the most important phrases and information that will be useful on the street, in a shop or in a restaurant.  Due to the linguistic similarity, students from Ukraine, Belarus or Russia can start from A1 level.

The next stages of learning Polish are the levels: A1 (beginner), A2 (elementary), B1 (pre-intermediate), B2 (intermediate), C1 (advanced).

How to learn Polish effectively?  Get to know the learning process at KLUB DIALOGU School

At the KLUB DIALOGU school, the learning process is divided into smaller units, known as modules, thanks to which the groups are homogeneous, i.e. students in a given group have very similar skills.

How does it look in practice?  Each level (A1, A2, B1, B2) is divided into 5 modules (e.g.: A1.1, A1.2. A1.3, A1.4, A1.5).  Learning in such a system becomes extremely effective, and students can notice significant progress.  However, this means that a placement test is not only advisable, but also necessary.  The result of the test gives a strong recommendation which Polish language course will best suit your skills.  An additional conversation with the school methodologist will precisely outline the student’s strengths as well as areas for improvement.

Benefits of learning Polish at KLUB DIALOGU

Thanks to the defined program of learning Polish as a foreign language at the KLUB DIALOGU School, the student does not incur unnecessary costs or lose valuable time as a result of inadequate group placement. In addition, you can clearly define your learning goals and the timeline for implementing them.

We warmly invite you to KLUB DIALOGU!

M for Metro.  Works of Wojciech Fangor in Warsaw

Have you seen the M-shaped entrances to the Metro in Warsaw?  Or maybe you noticed the names of the stations: Świętokrzyska, Uniwersytet or Rondo ONZ?  These are things that reveal Wojciech Fangor’s character.

Wojciech Fangor

Wojciech Fangor (1922 – 2015) – a well-known Polish painter, draftsman, sculptor and poster artist.  He is considered one of the last “great masters” of the 20th century.  In the early 1960s, he became famous for his ‘pulsating’ painting – abstract paintings that gave the impression of movement.  His painting experiments were groundbreaking not only in Poland, but likewise in art around the globe.

The works of this famous Varsovian can be found in various places in the city.  Only 300 meters from KLUB DIALOGU Polish Language School there are other, often ignored by passers-by, Fangor accents that decorate our surroundings.  An ordinary subway journey to a Polish language course can be a time to encounter colourful mosaics.  What are we talking about here?

It’s worth looking around!

The mosaics that decorate the Warsaw Śródmieście Railway Station were entered into the national register of monuments last year.  In total, there are 52 ceiling mosaics – it’s worth looking up sometimes!  – as well as 27 mosaics that are in the halls and in the former waiting rooms along the side platforms.  The tiles were made in the Faience Works in Włocławek, and some of the necessary dyes were even imported from Italy.

Meet Wojciech Fangor at exhibitions!

For fans of Fangor and art lovers, the Polish Language School KLUB DIALOGU has good news!  Until March 2023, you can see two exhibitions celebrating the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birth: ‘Fangor.  Poza Obraz‘ in Gdańsk https://www.mng.gda.pl/wystawy/fangor-poza-obraz/ and ‘Fangor. Wielowymiarowy’ at the Centre of Contemporary Art in Warsaw https://u-jazdowski.pl/program/wystawy/fangor-wielodimensional

From reverie to celebration.  Have you already experienced Polish holidays and parties celebrated in November and December?

November is behind us, which is considered by many Poles to be the bluest month.  While it begins with reflection and memories (Day of the Dead), it ends mysteriously, magically, and joyfully.

‘Andrzejki’ – Polish fun for unmarried women

Andrzejki is a very popular holiday among Poles.  In the past, on the night of November 29-30, on the eve of Saint Andrew the Apostle, unmarried girls did fortune-telling in the hope of finding or winning their beloved man.  Today, anyone can do fortune-telling, and thanks to good fun, the tradition remains very much alive.  Fortune telling can be made from cast wax into a bowl through a keyhole, shoes, cards, or everyday objects placed in a row.

The KLUB DIALOGU Polish School for Foreigners hosted a fantastic St. Andrew’s Day event for our students.  The teachers in the role of fairies were just as great as during Polish language lessons.  And some of the predictions came true 100%.

‘Barbórka’ – Polish feast of miners and steelworkers

Another important day in the Polish calendar is December 4.  It is the day of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners.  Barbórka is the feast of Saint Barbara, very grandly celebrated primarily in Silesia, where the largest number of mines are located.

Do you know the animated Polish fairy tale for children ‘Bolek and Lolek among the miners’?  It’s a cult fairy tale, so it’s worth watching, although it doesn’t use Polish.  We can deduce from it how important mining was to the Polish economy in the 1950s – 1980s, and the term “black gold” for coal remains to this day.

Motorsports enthusiasts probably know the ‘Barbórka Rally’, which ends the rally season.  This year, the rally will be held for the 60th time!  The schedule of the Warsaw races can be found HERE.

‘Mikołajki’ – this Polish holiday is awaited by both the young and old

Throughout the year, both the young and old wait for the arrival of Santa Claus during Christmas.  In Poland, we have great news for all impatient people!  On December 6th, we celebrate ‘mikołajki’!  The custom itself has been known on Polish lands for a long time, and until the 19th century, December 6 was even a day off from work.  Now, ‘mikołajki’ is most often celebrated in schools for children, community centres, but also in the KLUB DIALOGU Polish School for Foreigners. We give each other small gifts.  This is great Polish fun, bringing a lot of joy.

New Year’s Eve (‘Sylwester’) is the inevitable end of the year

The year ends with ‘sylwester’!  The last night of December took its name from the name day of New Year’s Eve and the liturgical memory of Pope Sylwester I. On this holiday in Poland, we want to close the calendar year without disputes and debts.  How else can we bring happiness to the coming year?  One way is not cleaning on December 31st.  The reason is very simple – by sweeping dust, we can also sweep happiness!  Air bubbles in a glass of champagne can also have a symbolic meaning – large, irregular, and chaotic ones mean many changes, small bubbles mean balance in personal life and good health.  Certainly, each bubble is a representation of success in learning Polish ?!

Language trivia – check if you know

Did you know that the names of Polish games, customs, and rituals are written with a small letter: andrzejki, mikołajki, sylwester (even if they come from the name – Andrzej, Mikołaj or Sylwester).  Barbórka is a Polish holiday, which is why we write it with a capital letter.

Sad events in the world took over the beginning of 2022. KLUB DIALOGU report

The year 2022 was full of many events that, from a global point of view, have had tragic consequences.  Of course, we are talking about Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine and the cruel war being waged against the country’s civilians.  We also remember the huge wave of refugees on the border, terrorised by the Belarusian authorities and treated in no less cruel way by the Polish authorities. Read the KLUB DIALOGU report and learn more.

Action taken by KLUB DIALOGU School

The KLUB DIALOGU school categorically opposes all these tragic events, not only in word but also in deed.  When the first protests began under the slogan: ‘Stop torture at the border!’ – we couldn’t miss it.  Walking through the streets of Warsaw, we wanted to express that we show solidarity with people who are hurt, whose chance for a normal life is taken away just because they were born in a country affected by war or a humanitarian crisis.

The war in Ukraine mobilised us to: initiate the collection of things and money for its inhabitants, organise free Polish language courses, participate in humanitarian convoys, take home refugees, and many, many other activities.  See our blog post.

KLUB DIALOGU manifesto

KLUB DIALOGU’s manifesto is simple and unambiguous.  We, as employees of the KLUB DIALOGU Polish School for Foreigners, which is not only an educational institution, but also a meeting place for people from different continents and cultures, cannot accept a situation where the law and international conventions are broken.

We would also like to thank OUR STUDENTS who supported and continue to support our initiatives – it is thanks to you that we can learn tolerance and openness.  Thank you for your lessons for us and for being you!

We are constantly working for you and organising new Polish language courses

Despite these sad events, the KLUB DIALOGU Polish Language School for Foreigners was constantly working, organising Polish courses at all levels from A0 (for beginners) to B2 (advanced).  During the year, classes were held on a regular basis (mainly in the evenings, 2-3 times a week).

The summer holiday period (June, July, August) turned this structure upside down as usual ?.  Intensive courses prevailed (3 hours a day, every day), and students could additionally learn Polish, have fun, and chat during unique integration events.  This year we invited our students to: KLUB DIALOGU’s birthday party, a trip to the Zoo in Łódź, bowling, silent disco dances and salsa, and canoeing on the Wkra River.  See the summer holiday movie.

Polish as a foreign language exam at B1 level

In 2022, we managed to conduct 4 exams for the State Certificate in Polish as a Foreign Language at B1 level.  190 people took part in four examination sessions appointed by the State Commission (in February, March, June, and November), and 179 passed the test and received the Certificate. Congratulations!

You too can take the exam and get the Certificate.  Check the dates of the B1 exams in 2023 and the courses preparing for this exam.  terminy egzaminów na B1 w 2023 roku oraz kursy przygotowujące do tego egzaminu. Check out.

The presentation of Polish films during Film Evenings has become a tradition

Throughout the year, we invited the school to Film Evenings, during which Polish films with English subtitles were presented.  It is a great opportunity to learn about the culture and lifestyle of Poles, as well as to understand their mentality.

And as of December, we have the pleasure of inviting everyone to see Polish films at the Wisła Cinema.  PFFF: ‘Polish Films For Foreigners’ is a series of Polish films prepared in cooperation with the Wisła Cinema, Polonicum, and the School of Polish Language for Foreigners KLUB DIALOGU.

 Thank you for being with us!

  • We recommend that you first find out at the Polish embassy in your country what the minimum number of hours of learning Polish is to apply for a student visa.

Every year, during the summer months (June – August), we open special Polish courses for foreigners to learn our language in a regular and more intensive way. Each year these classes are popular and always bring good feedback. This is due to the effective language learning combined with fun, creative materials and unforgettable cultural and social events. During lessons at KLUB DIALOGU Polish Language School there are no dry, boring theory – here, a foreigner will find practical rules governing the Polish language and will practice them right away. Students learn the vocabulary that will be needed the most, and at the same time adapt to the level of advancement. Communication (dialogue) is the most important value for us.

We offer summer courses at basic (A0), beginner (A1), and intermediate (A2) levels and conversations.

After summer courses you can confirm your Polish knowledge with the B1 certificate. KLUB DIALOGU is a Center for B1 Certificate Exam.
