www.radio.com.pl/polonia/article.asp?tId=32915&j=2Jewish cafe Listen to audio at the site. Visitors who come to Poland in search of the Jewish heritage find few places that are still alive. One of these is a Jewish cafe in the mid-eastern city of Lublin.

I listend to the radio with great pleasure and found the website of the cafe on the
web, only I could not read it, because it was only in Polish.

I wonder why they call Lublin a "mid-eastern" city? I would have said it was in eastern Poland.
I found the same website that Pieter mentioned - too bad it is all Polish. But I hope to visit Lublin next year so maybe I will stop by there.

Nancy, calling Lublin a Mideastern city was probably an inadvertent error. Enjoy your visit to Lublin. Carl

But I hope to visit Lublin next year so maybe I will stop by there. Lublin was not really that close to the Easter boarder of Poland before the WW II and earlier on. As you probably know Poland boarders were shifting eastwards with time and after WW II they shifted back westwards just like in the old Piast times. |

It's nice. I listen to Polski Radia at work every day with headphones on. That's how I found the "singing sisters" and posted the link. I don't understand much because the conversations move much faster then I can process, but listening daily keeps my ears used to the language, I love the melody of Slavic language, and reminds me very much of growing up with lots of Poles talking a mile a minute, and catching a few words here and there. I do catch a few more these days, but not nearly enough.  What I would like to listen to is speeches by Jana Pawela ll in Polish. I saw a video once when he was giving a speech in Poland, and I could understand more because he spoke in short, 3 or 4 word sentences (like most politicians giving speeches to large crowds) and I could understand much better: gave my brain a chance to catch up! ;D |

Carl,
Excellent! I've bookmarked this one. I like the idea that I can listen to one over and over, and actually try to learn what's been said in total.. Instead of only catching bits and pieces.
Many thanks,
john
