| 2009-10-14 | Donna | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dr. Zieba demonstrates an interest in the questions asked. She goes beyond providing a simple answer, providing instead additional related information. She further demonstrates passion by seeking additional information from the individual asking the question, so that she can better understand the Polish influence from a more global perspective, thus broadening her own knowledge. |

| 2008-01-06 | Helen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Many thanks for such a prompt and clear response. I especially liked assistance with the pronunciations provided. |

| 2007-05-20 | Jeffrey | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Actually, the 'm' that I put in Wyzne was an error typing ('m' and 'n' are right next to each other). Anyway, you went well above and beyond and have been very helpful. Yes, he signed "Griglak" at Ellis Island (New York) and they changed it to 'ck' to Americanize it. You helped me answer the pronunciation question, but also helped answer some other questions. Thank you very much, Jeffrey Griglack |
| 2007-05-10 | Drew | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your help. I appreciate your description of the influence of other languages near other countries. |
| 2007-05-10 | GAbrielle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much! Your detail is greatly appreciated. It is an "American" english speaking character who says the name, so the pronunciation needn't be fluent, but I wanted at least to be in the "ballpark!" Or ball Garden! Thanks again for your time and help. |

Expertise
I am native Polish and I used to teach Polish to foreigners. I know (passively of actively) more than 15 other languages - so I can answer many questions concerning Polish grammar, pronounciation, spelling, ethymology and usage - as compared to English, French, German, Russian, Dutch, Esperanto or Norwegian. Also questions concerning other Slavic languages, Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, or general linguistics, especially scripts (writing systems and transcriptions) - are welcome.
Experience
Teaching English and French to Poles, Polish to foreigners, teaching Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan to philosophy students.
