learn to speak, understand and write polish
progress quickly beyond the basics
explore the language in depth

If you want to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Polish with confidence, then Teach Yourself Polish is the course for you. Although aimed at those with no previous knowledge, it is equally suitable for anyone wishing to brush up existing knowledge for a holiday or business trip.

Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 20 thematic units progressing from introducing yourself and dealing with everyday situations to talking about the past and making plans. You will become familiar with many aspects of life in Poland as well as the language.

The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues in each unit. These build up to give you a command of the essential phrases that you will need on a trip to Poland. There are plenty of exercises to practise the language as it is introduced and tips throughout to help with grammar.
