Language / Good quality graded readers for Polish? [4]

Hi all!

For my German studies I've found a wide range of graded readers (most with audio recordings of the text) from Langenscheidt, and CIDEB primarily. CIDEB is amazing but to my horror they don't produce any products for the Polish language. :/

Ideally I'd like simplified versions of classic texts, but I'd be happy with pretty much anything to get started with. So any suggestions would be appreciated! (Just no ebooks...)

(Also, I haven't actually started studying yet, only just ordered a couple textbooks this week so please no Polish words in responses, my current knowledge ends at pierogi and golumpki. haha!)

Thanks in advance!

Law / Student Visa Question: National or Schengen for American student? [9]

Hello all,

I've been accepted to study in university in Poland and was wondering which visa I should be applying for.

It looks like the choice is between a National visa and a Schengen visa.

(I would be an American applying, if that plays any role in this.)

Thanks in advance!

Study / Attending University other than one used for Poland's Student Visa application [8]

Hi,

I've been accepted to two Polish universities:
- one has sent me my letter of admission and will accept my credentials with apostille upon arrival in Poland
- the other wants my credentials with apostille prior to providing me with a letter. (there's a delay with the processing office until late August so the university offered me an extension.)

I think applying for a student visa in late-August/early-September would be REALLY pushing it in terms of timeline though.

So my question is: do you think it'd be possible for me to use the letter of admission from the first school to obtain a student visa and then use it to attend the other school?
