Helpfulness
You shouldn't be surprised if, even if you speak good Polish, you might not be able to understand some local people in shops and other public places on the Hel Peninsula. Quite a few of them are bilingual - they speak Polish when talking to the Poles and Kashubian among themselves. Those are the descendants of the autochthonous population of Pomerania - the Kashubs.
The Kashubian language and folklore have been enjoying a revival in recent years. The colourfully embroidered table linen or clothes and beautiful stylized floral ornaments on their pottery truly delight the eye.
