A couple of US educators decided they would like to teach abroad
following retirement, since they had a similar interesting
experience in the UK in the 1980s. They saw an ad in a local paper
and traveled to Warsaw, Poland to teach in an American
International School. English was supposed to be spoken in the
school, but actually very little was understood. Their situation
was further complicated when they realized that unlike other
European countries they have visited, little English was spoken.
Bringing their collective 60-plus years of experience into a place
where it could not be used, the teachers found themselves in
situations where they had little control. They enjoyed the
interaction with colleagues-foreign and native. They learned the
intricacies of public transportation in Poland, marveled at the
culture and the beauty of the rebuilt Polish cities, and learned to
appreciate its intelligent and hard-working people. They were
sometimes able to take trips to parts of Europe which were
less-easily accessed European locales.
