Hi,
My name is Katy Muench. I'm 25
years old and I am an English teaching assistant
at School Number 9. I came to Poland on the
Leonardo Programme.

I like travelling, animals,
reading and shopping.
I come from Birmingham, which is the second
biggest city in the UK. More than 1 million
people live there. It's in the West Midlands
region and is about two hours away from London.
Birmingham is famous for the Bull Ring, Aston
Villa Football Club, baltis (a type of curry),
its many canals (more than Venice!). It's a very
diverse city and people living there come from
all over the world. I enjoy the multicultural
aspect of the city and like to meet people from
different countries and try international food.
It has a lot of culture and entertainment, with
many theatres, concert venues, markets, art
galleries and a varied nightlife.
People from Birmingham are known as 'Brummies'
but as I was born in another city, Brighton, I
consider myself an honorary Brummie.
In recent years, many Polish people have come to
live in Birmingham, and there are many Polish
shops selling traditional food and newspapers.
My favourite things about Poland are Wroclaw,
zupa, cukiernas, fruit (the apples here are
enormous), the birds, the mountains, and some of
the very nice people I have met. I'm looking
forward to the start of Spring and Summer though,
it's been very cold for me here!
I'm enjoying meeting the children at School
number 9 and hope that I can help them with the
English language.
