Polish for Absolute Beginners

You would like to learn Polish.

You might think it’s complicated because of the strange letter combinations that you haven’t seen before.

You might think it’s difficult because of the way it sounds.

It also has vocabulary that sounds unfamiliar and unlike any other language you’ve come across before.

You might also think that it’s confusing because words have genders and word endings change in some mysterious way depending on what you’re trying to say.

Here’s the truth about Polish.

Polish words do contain a lot of consonants next to each other.

Words are pronounced differently to how they would be pronounced in other languages.

There is a lot of vocabulary that doesn’t derive from Latin.

Words do have genders and word endings do change depending on what you’re trying to say.

Does that make Polish impossible to learn, though?

My answer is ‘no’ and I’m sure this will be your answer too, once you’ve completed this course.

One of the actions is always to complete the practice exercises included at the end of each module.

A lot of the actions are also focused on speaking because you will be able to say something new after each module!
