get colloquial polish by boleslaw w. mazur. and i mean the recent one. it guides you briefly on pronunciation and has 18 lessons recorded by people. u will know how the language is supposed to work(or at least have a good idea of how) backed by least 1,300 words excluding #'s and verb conjugations. but don't expect to be able to understand songs or read articles or understand news. i would get teach urself polish but consistent poor reviews makes suspicious of it.

I'm learning Swedish. I really like it. It's easy to learn and fun.
My 5-year old daughter is listening on me and she's starting to speak a third language now.

Thats cool Krysia. So you and her will be speaking to each other soon...

But I would recommend spanish as it is a popular laungage...

A friend of mine told me in chicago some poles learn spanish faster than they learn english

The Spanish "r" for example is the same as in Polish, while in English many POlish people can't pronounce the"r" properly.

But Spanish is the way to go in the US. Many things that you buy have instructions both in English and in Spanish.
Many Mexicans along the South Borders of the US. There is a need for for Spanish translators.
Yes, Spanish is very popular. I know a few words. I watch Dora the Explorer.
