Polish immigrant learns English on Wisconsin dairy farm

Jan Oczos, a 28-year-old Polish dairy engineer, joins the Polish Agricultural Training Program in Barron County at the Skoug farm. He aims to learn English and study American dairy methods while earning $400 a month with $80 to $90 retained for program costs, and plans to bring his wife and son to Poland someday.

Polish visitor shows skill in volleyball and language clash

The Skougs describe Mr Oczos as proficient in Polish German and Russian with poor English though improving daily. Jan Skoug notes early mornings and late nights, and the Polish guest adeptly won a three-on-three volleyball game 15-2. Poland’s TV access and schooling contrast with U.S. systems.
