Summary/Abstract: The paper describes the situation of two brothers from Singapore who have been living in Warsaw for three years. Boys aged 9 and 13 attend a Polish school. Part one presents the results of the research on the presence of foreign students in Polish schools. It is followed by a brief description of the brothers’ family and school situation. The last, major, part shows their level of acquisition of Polish as a second language in the new country of residence, with a focus on the elements of the language subsystems where faults arising from defective command of Polish have still been noticeable.
