Travel guide – Phrasebook
The eSPARK Summer School is not just a great opportunity to learn practical skills in electrochemistry, but a way of becoming immersed in Polish culture for a week. Whilst English is commonly spoken in many parts of Poland, locals love it when people have a go at speaking their native language. Hence, we have prepared a short phrasebook to help you survive during the week, whether you are in the lab or exploring Warsaw.
