    16. Who are we when we speak English?
    Apr 27 2020
    We discuss our immigrant identities through language and we wonder whether we put on a slightly different personality when we speak a particular language? Who do we become when we speak English and how different is it from who we are as native speakers? Has English changed our native tongue, too? We analyse tones, intonations and expressions and ask ourselves if we land as ever - neither here nor there or maybe precisely in that migrant, fluid space: in between.

    15. We've been separated! Life during COVID-19 in Poland and the UK
    Apr 18 2020

    Yep, it's been some time BUT thanks for being patient and for sticking around.

    You've all heard everything about COVID-19 by now but we thought it's impossible not to offer our foreign perspective of the evens. Particularly because we ended up...in two different countries - SEPARATED - whilst Ania is being an immigrant on temporary immigration in Poland. So we are proudly reporting to you our subjective, incomplete and biased experience of what life is like during the pandemic in our dearest countries: Poland and the UK.

    In other exciting news, you can now also WATCH our conversation for the first time! For the video recording, head to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjDjEXwQ93ZoaH_vBX7jfAA?view_as=subscriber

    14. The country called London
    Mar 16 2020

    London is not just a city. Well, it's a capital, a cultural mecca and, frankly speaking, it's a lifestyle. But we also think it's almost like a country in itself. So we've decided to take a stroll through the streets of the UK's capital and take you to our favourite places, tell you about some embarrassing London cliches we've committed and share everything we both hate and love about this town. Put your jogging shoes on and bring your Oyster - it'll be a proper tour. Enjoy ;)
