Ten years ago, tourists, businesspeople and investors were willing to accept poor English in Poland, since most people understood that it would take some time for the country's services sector to build up a competence in the language. But the grace period is now over: it is now expected that English information produced by Polish companies will be legible, accurate and correct. When poor English represents your company – on your website, in your PR material, in your advertisements and advertorial – a negative first impression is created... and the impact is real.
