Language / Not sure if I will be able to speak Polish [53]

ome on. No non-Slavic speaker ever got conversational in Polish through cassette tapes/CDs and boo

I did. In fact, I used an old Polish L;anguage course written and produced in the mid 1960's called mówimy po polsku. It came with a soft covered book and two L.P records-that shows how old it was! I took G.C.S.E Polish, not the hardest of examinations, I agree but got an A. Not bad in the modern day G.C.S.E. genre with an old Communist produced language course-I was very pround of the course and still hold the original course material, though I have no time to study it now.. In fact, the grammar sections were very thorough and have probably never been beaten except for really good university texts..

Language / Who wants a Linguaphone Polish Course...? [30]

oes anyone actually use tapes nowadays... isnt that a little 20th century?

I use them. Besides, the Polish Language Linguaphone course does have a very good reputation. In the 1960's there was a polish course entitled Mówimy Po Polsku on 33 rpm lp's! An even bettter course than Linguaphone.
