How about contacting Polish Embassy in Bangkok? Usually they have blokes who are responsible for promoting Polish culture/language/edu. You can also visit: studyinpoland[dot]pl [choose "Polish language" from a blue bar]

Hehe, HIS Polish is quite ok. Her Polish, on the other hand, is exactly like that of a foreigner speaking Polish. Her pronunciation sounds funny.

Yugoslavian/South Slavic languages are absolutely Slavic!
I myself have not studied them so I could not tell you how they compare to Russian - but my Slovakian (which is grouped with Czech and Polish as being a West Slavic language) friend told me that when he was in Bosnia he didn’t have much trouble with it.

it wouldn’t be too hard to learn Russian if you’re a Polish speaker, and not too hard to learn Polish if you’re Russian, but I think Polish has a small amount of more archaic grammar that isn’t used in East Slavic languages like Russian and Ukrainian (Ukrainian is in a class of its own lol).
Belarusian and Polish share enough vocabulary that I think they can understand each other to an extent, at least that is what a Pole told me once.

English. Spanish is getting popular though, at least here in Warsaw.

Because, if like me you an English woman with a Polish man, then he will have friends you have never met who are Polish, so it helps to ask them if they speak English. And if you need to ask for directions or something, you can greet them and then ask them if they speak English in order to make it easier for you ask for directions, incase you are not able to properly speak their language.

While you’re right that learning a second language and acquiring a language as a young child are very different, I don’t know where you’re going with the difficulty of learning thing. I imagine that a native Russian speaker would find Polish a lot easier than English, but a Dutch speaker wouldn’t agree. It’s not like one is objectively more complex grammatically.
