Ladies and Gentlemen,

My name is Tomasz Sochacki. For many years I have been a fan and propagator of the Cieszyn dialect, as well as the material and spiritual culture of the Cieszyn Silesia region. I publish my texts written in our language on the website: https://www.gwaracieszynska.com, and on the FB page: https://www.facebook.com/cieszynskorzecz I also run a group on FB encouraging people to write in the Cieszyn dialect: https://www.facebook.com/groups/860367499024578 I recorded all the texts I wrote in the form of radio plays (568 videos in total) on the YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@gwaracieszynska  

I also included my dialect texts in three original books: "Cosik mało wiela Wóm chcym powyrzóndzać", "Cieszyński Szlabikorz a ku tymu cosik wierszym po naszymu", and "Starzikowe wyrzóndzani, Starczyne jodło a kapke filozofije". I also translated The Little Prince and Winnie the Pooh into the Cieszyn dialect. 

I am happy to sit on the jury of dialect competitions and take part in meetings in libraries, senior clubs, or at the University of Silesia branch, where I promote the language of our ancestors. I operate largely on a non-profit basis, driven by my passion for promoting our beautiful Cieszyn language. If you like my work even a little, I would like to ask for any donation. What will I spend the money on? For the website fee (monthly fee of PLN 50), for the purchase of equipment for recording on YouTube, or for the purchase of "Polokki" shoes for my Cieszyn outfit. My request is also addressed to companies - in exchange for support, I can brighten up your anniversary or any other event with my presence, because I have a complete Cieszyn outfit and, perhaps most importantly, I am an authentic "stele" person whose roots have grown into our Cieszyn land and who "the gang sounds beautiful in our way." I also have my own books on which I can put your logo and thus they can become a cool gadget. The Cieszyn dialect is becoming more and more popular on the Internet - perhaps it's time for a banner, a short film or an advertising slogan emphasizing that your company "je stela". Thank you in advance for your help and I emphasize that I don't want anything for free, because in return I offer you my great passion for our Cieszyn dialect.

Niech sie Wóm darzi a niech Was dycki Pónbóczek opatruje. 

With respect

Tomasz Sochacki
