Polish language among the Polish community in Norway
Children who language They didn't learn Polish and came to schoolto acquire it, they have difficulty learning it. The problem particularly affects children, e.g. 8 or 10 years old. Reading or writing is not easy for them, but they understand everything. Provided that Polish is spoken in the family home.

Polish internet radio in Norway
As Paweł Kołpak noticed, Polish Internet radio in Norway is a necessary matter. Łukasz Pawłowicz admitted on Radio Wilno that he was inspired by the idea of founding a Polish one radio in Norway he came in about 4 years ago. Why online? Since there is no FM system in this country – Norway first country in the world has completely switched to the DAB broadcasting system. Radio Wataha is planning to start broadcasting in this system, but currently it should be postponed. Until all drivers can receive DAB digital radio signals in their cars. However, this will probably change next year.
