Description

Good to Know

If you don't see a time frame that works for you please contact me to arrange that. This workshop is addressed to adults to learn and expend their knowledge of Polish history and culture. The course is also a perfect opportunity to gain more understanding of your Polish heritage or prepare you for a visit in Poland. I will take you on a tour what my country looks like today. Starting with a short language lesson, I will then cover Polish geography, climate and interesting facts. We will spend some time talking about Polish history, World War II, Solidarity movement and changes that took place in Poland in 1989 and helped the country transition to democracy. Moving on, we will learn about Polish wedding traditions, by watching a video of my brother’s wedding. There are 16 Holidays in Poland, and I will talk about one of the favorites, the All Saints Day. At the end, we will try the famous homemade pierogi and share the recipe how to make them.

Dinner

5 pierogi

Alcoholic beverages

Please bring your favorite beverage.

As a native of Poland, I will take you on a tour of what my country looks like today and share stories about the history, events, and people that have shaped it over the past 100 years. We will begin with a short language lesson, during which I will teach you a few basic Polish greetings and show you how to introduce yourself in my native tongue. Next, I will cover Poland’s geography, climate, and some interesting facts about the country. I will then spend some time discussing Polish history, including World War II, the Solidarity movement, and the major changes that took place in 1989, which helped Poland flourish and transition to a democratic system. Moving on, we will explore Polish traditions, and I will show you a video from my brother’s wedding in Kielce, Poland. There are 16 national holidays in Poland, and I will talk about my favorite one—All Saints’ Day. At the end, I will invite you to try my mom’s famous pierogi and share her recipe with you.

Poland and Perogies

The experience was great. The admission was reasonable. The timing was good, the small group was nice, it was homey, and the perogies were delicious. Gosia is passionate about Poland’s culture and history. Thank you for the perfect prep before I visited and traveled to Poland.

Gocia was very welcoming, had prepared pierogis ahead so we visited, listened and ate. Information was interesting from all facets of Polish culture, early history to present day, language to traditions to her brother's wedding. She has hard copies and video to enhance her descriptions. Since we had traveled to Poland, we had lots to talk about. Gocia was a charming host. It was a wonderful evening!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review—it truly means a lot to me. I’m so glad you felt welcomed and enjoyed the pierogi and our time together. It was wonderful to share stories about Poland and I especially loved hearing about your own travels to my home land!
