regarding love and food...

yes, in general Polish people only like their food (lubic is the infinitive form of the verb) (Ja lubie or bardzo lubie), but if they are truly enamoured of it, they might say "uwielbiac" .... (Ja) uwielbiam lody!

Happy to help with translations if I have time...
Just know that I am still uncertain to this day how it is that I know how to write in Polish as I officially never "learned" how. I left Poland when I was 2.5! My mother (a highly educated individual with more degrees than is decent) claims my Polish is about on the level of a Polish 8th grader. That may not be a bad thing when writing to children :-)

I had no difficulties conversing with anyone in Poland, however, and thoroughly shocked our agency rep with my fluency. On the other hand, my vocabulary is 20 years behind the times, so every once in a while, people would get very confused when I would indicate my complete ignorance about something that is completely every day for them. For example I had no idea that there were ATMs everywhere and was asking about how to change money at the hotel. The receptionist could not understand my confusions until I told her the last time I had been in Poland was 20 years ago and that at that time I exchanged dollars on the black market for about 1500 zl each and that there WERE no ATMS anywhere, much less in what I would consider to be a relatively small town...
