Has any of you (foreigners) studied Polish for a year?

Hi guys , i would very appreciate if you advise me a little bit.
I'm studying in Rzeszow , but the tuition fee is a lot for me since i have no job here in Poland , i heard if i study polish language for a year then go on studying in my field in polish language, i could pay less or even go on a scholorship , has any of you ( among foreigners )studied Polish for a year ? what are the advanteges of doing so? is it worthwhile to spend a year for it?

Thanks in advance.

I think it is worth your time to study Polish. If you are there studying, it's always a plus to know Polish. You never know when you'll need it. Maybe you'll meet a nice Polish girl someday? besides, I just heard that people should learn new languages and keep their brain working to fight against Alzheimer's Disease.

As far as the tuition goes, you should ask at the school where you are attending, as they will know the best.

Thanks krysia, i already have a polish girlfriend but she's too busy to teach me polish , ja mowie po polsku troche , ale nie moge movic bardzo bobrze wies.

Where do you live krysia ? in poland?

I live in USA .I help out the Polish people who come here.

arent there any softwares to help you learn polish ? I dont think a computer translator can really help you that much. lol, ive tried.

Hello, i am polish but i live in the usa and i forgot polish and iwoul love to relearn it as soon as i can.. anyone?

I think you've probably forgot more polish than i'll ever know...sadly! I'm trying to learn, but yeah.... hehe

yea.. i knwo.. thats really sad :( but i am tryin to learn it.. it takes lots of time....

im learning polish at evening class here in Doncaster in the UK been to 5 class 2hours long and still 25 weeks of learning to go before i have the level one qualification in the polish language

It does take time i have to agree i started about three months ago self teaching via a robotic sounding cd-rom from EuroTalk ... but doing the evening classes i have picked up more and more words and some are now sinking in my ever unorganised brain :)

I also have primsluer polish cd containing 10 lessons (american done) which is very helpful ... a couple of phrasebooks, dictionary also a online dictionary and a software program dictionary (given by a polish friend via gadugadu :) plus the book czesc jak sie masz?

I also found that if you listen to polish music (i started on Kasia Kowalska ... as a polish girl sent me a cd of her music from her pc that had quite a selection on including the gemini album of Kasia's ... i since have got 7 Kasia albums, 5 albums by Edyta Gorniak plus have quite a selective range of polish music inc :) the club/dance/techno variety ... you do learn the words as your brain will remember them and when you hear it in a conversation your brain will go ping hang on i recognise that word!!!

im learning it to converse with my polish friends here in the UK and in Poland -- plus i would like to work in a job whereby i can use the polish language daily :)

yea.. well i wish i could do that.. i amlooking for aplace to go to polish school my self.. but i cant find one.. heheh i hate the staes!!! UHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh
