\nThis week we invited language teacher, Magdalena Dygala (@magdaspring<\/a>), to introduce us to Radom, Poland.<\/p>\n

Shelly:<\/strong> Which landmark is a must for visitors?<\/p>\n

Magdalena Dygala: <\/strong>The Old Town in Krakow with one of the biggest medieval squares in Europe is definitely a must for tourists visiting Poland. You can start your exploration from the historical path of the Polish kings – ‘Royal Route’ and go to the Wawel Castle where you can admire Leonardo da Vinci’s painting ‘Lady with an Ermine’. You can also have a nice walk in cobbled streets full of majestic monuments, visit atmospheric cafes and museums.<\/p>\n

Shelly:<\/strong> What are popular local dishes?<\/p>\n

Magdalena Dygala:<\/strong> Dumplings (Polish PIEROGI) which are made of dough filled with a variety of fillings, for example: meat, sauerkraut and mushrooms, seasonal fruit, buckwheat, sweet cottage cheese or boiled potatoes with fried onions. Check out these dishes here,\u00a0https:\/\/migrationology.com\/best-polish-foods<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shelly:<\/strong> Describe an activity your English learners enjoy!<\/p>\n

Magdalena Dygala:<\/strong> Music can serve as a great source of inspiration for your students, evoking wonderful memories and emotions, which is why I love involving my students into creative wrriting activities with music. I ask my students to close their eyes and imagine the best day in their life. After listening to a song (for example \u2018Over the rainbow\u2019 by Israel Kamakawiwo\u2019Ole) , they can draw a picture of what they\u2019ve just imagined, share it with their partner and write a story. These are some of my students’ videos:
