At a Glance: Teaching English in Poland
One of Poland's best features is its bucolic countryside, where horse-drawn carts still bring in the harvest to small villages skirting primeval forests. But there is no lack of culture in Poland either, whose historically-rich cities have produced such notables as Copernicus, Marie Curie, and Chopin.
