Recommended for learners: Michel Thomas Method Polish Audiobook [60]
Hello fellow learners of the Polish language. Since I am an avid fan of the Michel Thomas Method, I would like to chime in on this discussion. I have used both the "foundation" and "advanced" method to get a head start before taking a year of college French, German, and Russian; the results have been spectacular. In fact, my professors all asked me at one point during the first few weeks of instruction, if I had previously taken a class on X language. The Michel Thomas Method does an excellent job on introducing you to the language and making you feel comfortable learning it.
On the Polish version:
First I have to state a few things. Michel Thomas is the founder of this method, however he passed away in the mid 2000s. The only programs where you can learn a language with Michel Thomas include: German, Spanish, Italian, and French. The other languages use native speakers, who are trained to teach the way Michel Thomas did -so you are not being cheated if you do not decide to work on the languages Michel Thomas has taught. In fact, I believe that the Michel Thomas Polish course is the best. As I previously stated, I have gone through the foundation and advanced course in German, French, and Russian but I have also done; Spanish (even as a native speaker), Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese (yes I am crazy about languages). In my opinon I have decided to continue learning Polish, in part because how well the Michel Thomas Polish course has been constructed. By that I mean that I have managed to pick up Polish easily because of how clear, how much in depth the Polish teacher goes into the grammar, and how admirable the students and teacher are. If you have never heard of the Michel Thomas Method, I encourage you to try it. It is much cheaper than other language learning programs like Rosetta Stone, paying for instruction, etc. If you have any questions about Michel Thomas Polish, feel free to ask me :)
