My spoken German is "Austrian accented", since I learned it speaking at home with my Austrian father, during a year attending the Realgymnasium Albert Einstein, in Meran, Italy and while studying at the University of Vienna, Austria.

My spoken Polish is "Cracovian": I spent more than five years living and working in that remarkable, magical city.
