resource for foreign people and Poles wherever they are, and also welcomes anyone who's planning to travel to Poland or is interested in learning the language. Basic membership is free and gives access to all the facilities of the forum, although premium memberships are also available.

As the name suggests, the heart of Polish Forums are the forums themselves. On the home page you'll find a category button with an impressive list of forum categories to choose from. Everything is covered, from news and current affairs through sub forums for Poles living in other regions to food and drink and even guides on how to celebrate holidays in Poland. If you're looking for basic language lessons or free translations you'll find sections to help you out. There are also some extremely useful resources - more sub forums give members opportunities to search for or offer jobs and housing, find pen-pals or arrange events.

PolishForums has been running since 2005, so almost everything relating to Poland has been discussed at some time. The site provides a searchable archive to help you track down exactly what you're looking for. If you can't find it, all you have to do is create a new thread and ask; the members are extremely helpful and somebody will be along with an answer soon! There's a lively community, too, so something interesting is always going on.

If you enjoy your free membership and want to gain some extra benefits you can sign up for a gold membership. You can choose your own annual fee, and in return you get to view the forum without any ads, a larger inbox and the ability to see who's online. For higher fees you can add a custom signature and even a free lifetime VIP membership to a related site about Polish Women. If you're Polish and want to keep in touch, or if you have an interest in Poland, PolishForums.com is exactly what you're looking for.
