Language / Learning Polish via YouTube? [12]

Merged: Looking for YouTubers in Polish

So I'm looking to improve my listening skills and vocab, and I thought finding some Polish youtube channels might help - something I'd be interested in. I've done a small amount of searching but it's hard to know quite what to look for. I normally watch factual YouTube videos (Tom Scott/Vsauce type things) or gaming stuff (PBSgameshow/Cryaotic). I've found one person, Polimaty, who seems to (from a brief look) do things I'm kinda interested in. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions? Even if it's not the sort of stuff I normally watch, I'll give it a go! I definitely used to watch several vlog type YouTubes, and I think they tend to have simple/slang vocab, so any Polish vloggers would be nice too! Thanks!

Study / POLA Language Course - how is it? [3]

I'm looking for Polish language courses in Warsaw, and the only one I've found so far that seems to be roughly what I want is POLA (pola.edu.pl/). Only thing is that I can't find any reviews for it, so I don't know what people who've learnt there actually think. If anyone's been on it, or knows someone who's been on it, if you could tell me what you thought, I'd be really grateful. (I'm also a little concerned about the dates for the courses (they say 2013, even though the website's still running), but I can probably just email if I decide to learn here, and see what response I get.)

If anyone wants to give suggestions of Polish courses in Warsaw, I'm looking for a course that focuses more on actually speaking to people than bashing you on the head with a grammar book, and where you do other activities alongside lessons to help you learn (e.g. cooking, watching a film etc.), and preferably a group lesson. Also, I have accommodation with family already, so I don't need or really want a course that provides accommodation.

Thanks!
