Hi
This is my first post and I hope one of many :-)
I've just started learning Polish and was thinking of taking a language holiday in Poland this summer. Many of my Polish students (in the UK) have advised that Kraków is the place to be!
I've done some research and I've found that the Jagiellionan University offers a four week course at 'Survival' level (in July only) - it's not intensive - 2 hours a day and it also offers lots of cultural and tourist events. Room and board (shared room in a dormitory) are included and there are some interesting lectures on Polish history, literature and culture in the afternoon that you can attend. I got quite excited about a lecture on the morphology and syntax of the Polish language....yes, actually, there are some of us who think grammar is fab!
Unfortunately, some of these lectures overlap the language part of the course - after it has finished :-( and the site isn't clear whether I could attend these lectures without paying for another language course.
Ideally, I'd like to stay for a longer period, say, 2 months but for 5596 PLN (just over £1,100) for four weeks it would be a bit expensive for me.
Could anyone let me know their thoughts, please? Is this a good deal?
Many thanks to all x
