About me:

My name is Dorota Dziewońska. I live with my husband and children in Cracow – a beautiful old city in the south of Poland. I like learning foreign languages as well as sharing this experience with others – comparing, how similar things are seen by different cultures and described with different languagues. I speak English, Russian, French (not too well), now I'm learning German and Hungarian.

Qualifications and experience:

I graduated from Warsaw University, where I studied Applied Linguistics. I have been teaching Polish as a foreign language since the beginnig of the nineties, first at the Jagiellonian University Summer School, later at „Glossa” language school. As I have studied several languages myself, I know how difficult it can be and can understand the problems that language-learners encounter. I have taught students from different countries, at various levels and used a wide range of materials. Until recently, the choice of Polish coursebooks was quite limited and I had to prepare lessons from scratch, which significantly enriched my experience.

Methods of teaching

Everybody learns in a different way, pays attention to different things, and as a teacher I try to respect this diversity and adapt to my student's personality, using varius materials: films, texts, songs or the student's own experiences. During lessons, we practise all four language skills: speaking, listening, reading, writing. I think language, like life, is unpredictable and changeable, shaped by our experiences. At the same time there are strict, logical laws that help us get around in this spontaneous chaos. That is why from the start I treat grammar as a teaching/learning aid, and not a hardship.
