Learning Polish
Gosia 2010-08-28 09:51 | Learning Polish I have one questions for people who are learning Polish. How much time do I need to start understand Polish at intermediate level? Is three years is enough? |

I think that it is essential to know the reason why you want to study this language and to have a good motivation. I do not recommend learning on your own - I've tried it many times with English and Russian and I always quit after a few attempts to remember something. The private course is the best because you have a professional teacher, who will explain everything, you have a group of other learners which motivates you to study and you pay money so you won't quit after one lesson :-) |
frdalloway 2011-02-25 13:05 | I've started to learn Polish about 5 years ago and I still don't feel very confident in speaking it. At first, I tried to study on my own, using the Internet sources or lessons via skype (which I do not recommend...), and finally I signed up for an intensive Polish course in Poland (it took 2 weeks) and after the course I travelled around Poland also for 2 weeks. The course + travelling and meeting Poles were the most helpful for me. Although I'm trying to keep contact with many people in Poland I met during my stay, I'm considering another Polish course this year, in the same school, but this time the intermediate level. |

If you have a good teacher, have an intensive course (20 lessons per week), and of course work hard you will be able to be at strong intermediate level within one year. I have never managed to get as high, but during my stay in Kraków I met a guy who studied in a Polish language school (Glossa I believe) and I was impressed how he managed to speak after just three months' course. There are many polish language schools in Poland and a few of them are very good, I think Glossa and Mały Rynek are the best in Kraków. |
