Every Saturday Polish families across Ireland visit Polish Weekend School in Cabra in Dublin.
There are around 80,000 Polish living in Ireland down from around 120,000 during the boom.
Parents want their kids ready in case they return to Poland, so they won't feel left behind in the classroom.

From 5 years of age up until Leaving Cert they learn about the culture, Polish Grammar, Maths and Polish geography.
The Polish School is also a sociable way for the polish kids to stay in touch with their unique culture and language.
There is also sport, drama and adult English courses to help parents improve their English.
I went to the busy Polish Weekend School to brush up on my Polish.
