Meet Lee Taylor, an Englishman who moved to Poland, couldn't speak the language nor understand what's going on, and initially followed his Polish wife around like a “little lost dog”?

Today, Lee is the man behind ‘Lee Learns Polish’, the channel that documents his experiences, misunderstandings and attempts to master Polish and is now a hugely popular social-media brand.

Lee tells us how a seemingly spontaneous decision to move to Poland came about, how arriving in a new country left him feeling that he'd lost his identity, why learning Polish became so important, and why Polish people insisting on speaking English to him isn't always helpful!

We uncover his somewhat embarrassing geographical revelation about Poland, his love of the Baltic coast and Gdańsk, his thoughts on Polish bureaucracy (spoiler alert – he’s not a fan!) and the Polish habits he has gradually adopted, including the refusal to throw anything away.

And, naturally, we get into food. Lee explains why he thinks Polish cuisine is seriously underrated, reveals his love of żurek, pierogi and gołąbki, and admits that he's even started cooking Polish food for his friends.

Plus, Peter brings back some Greek inspiration from Corfu, John and Peter battle over their latest 3 in 10, and Lee reveals the song that has a very special place in his heart.

So climb aboard the wesoły autobus and enjoy the ride.
