Language / Where did you start or the best techniques for learning Polish. [85]
My strategy is, as a 'new learner (5 months in) is to get a good audio course with booklet that will teach you the basics of:
How to ask for things,
How to ask directions,
Basic greetings and responses,
Basic personal questions and responses.
Now I am trying to get a grip on the grammar,
(conjunctive endings, present/past/future tenses)
...the cases and the difference between determinate and indeterminate verbs. Once I am confident enough and have loads of questions the study books I use don't appear to answer properly, I plan to go to my local Polish supermarket and put an advert in the window for a 'tutor'. I will find one who suits me and who I feel comfortable with and learn more.
You should thrive with 1-1 tutoring.
Hope that helps and you haven't given up.
