Survival Polish: “Dzień dobry” (hello), “Cześć” (hi), “Dziękuję” (thank you), “Przepraszam” (excuse me), “Ile to kosztuje?” (how much?), “Gdzie jest…?” (where is…?).
Orientation basics: Old Town = tourist hub & higher prices; uni districts = lively & cheap; public transport reliable; cards widely accepted. Poland is generally safe and locals warm up quickly.
