Radom

Maybe not the obvious choice, Radom is the second largest academic centre in Masovia, after Warsaw.

In Radom, there is a small expatriate community of language teachers. Try contacting one of the city's numerous language schools; they are especially keen on employing native English speakers, but speakers of German, French or Spanish might also find something.
