Language / Is rosetta stone any good for learning Polish? [51]

I have Rosetta Stone, but for German and I'd say that it is a good way to learn the basics, but it can in no way make you fluent. And it is really really expensive. The good thing about it, though, is as you continue to complete lessons it will often have you go back for a review so you don't forget what you've previously learn, and you can sign up *for a fee* online 'meetings' with someone who is fluent in the language and they will almost give you a test to help you a lot. I haven't done it myself yet because when I first got it I was too busy to do anything other than do the lessons.

Rosetta Stone also gives you a few games and little stories that you can read or have read out to you! I really like it.

The main thing about all of it is that you really need to do it every day or every other day because you WILL forget stuff and it will set you back even farther!

While I don't know anything about the Polish lesson, I do know stuff about how Rosetta Stone works so if you have any more questions you can ask me. :)

ewakaw

Rosetta Stone is a good program but if you really want to lern Polish FAST, you should take some course or lessons.

I agree! While I do enjoy Rosetta Stone a class course is better.

Also, ewakaw, you're English is great! :)

Polonia / How would an American Pole be treated while studying in Germany? [25]

Poland has some good schools also

I don't doubt that Polish education is good, but if I were to go to study aboard I'd prefer to go to a country where I have a good understanding on the native language there. I'm not very good at Polish yet and no schools near me offer it. I also love the German language as well, so I'm taking classes and planning to go study in Regensburg.

I don't understand, it seems that some people on here enjoy talking off topic, or get a kick out of harassing people and being rude.

So, please, don't call yourself "Polish" if you can't even speak the language.

Because not speaking the language makes me not Polish? Sorry you think that.

just another American who went abroad to buy her education?

Can you not respect someone who just wants to experience something new all the while is getting an education? I'm studying here in America first, not just trying to 'buy' my education abroad.
