I want to learn Polish. Where to start?

Polish is actually much easier to learn than English. I learned what little I know when I went to live with a friend in Poland for five months. It helps to be surrounded by it and hear it often, so definitely get some audio materials and books. After you have learned a bit, you will be surprised at how quickly you pick it up.

Polish is definitely not much easier to learn that English. That's just plain false! No offence, but you likely learned the basics which can be easy. The rest of what you wrote was spot on though.

thank you that would be great, i tried 2 contact your mail address that you sent me but i cant find you ,maybe the spelling maybe different kasia ?

hello my name is yusuf, im from coventry , england. i would like to know if theres anybody in coventry that teaches polish, thank you.

Hello :)
I'm native speaker of Polish. I could try to teach Polish and I would like to improve my English, too. If you want to learn Polish, we can arrange some conversation with Skype. I would like to try this method of e-learning, so if you too, please send me your Skype ID on PM. I will confirm conversation by PM or Skype. I wait for willing to conversate in Polish and English.

Greetings :)

get private lessons ! :-) I can recommend you a very good young teacher (her e mail is english_polish@yahoo)

Being a native Polish speaker isn't enough to teach the language unfortunately. It's better to find a professional teacher and pay them.

The second set of Rapidshare links are DEAD, as are the links for FastShare.

First set of Rapidshare link are still working.

Thanks for the share :)

Sorry, but if someone want to have some free practice, I think that is enough to say that I know Polish grammar very well. I expect the same from the English native speaker. He/she doesn't have to be a teacher like you :) Finally title of this thread is "I want to learn Polish", but not "I'm looking for graduated teacher".

Obviously my offer is still up-to-date and free :)
Greetings :)

Oh I am not a Polish teacher. I'm a native, I speak high standard Polish. I tried teaching Polish and I found it very difficult.

I will help in learning the Polish language, in return for learning English.
If somebody is interested than write me: bartelso@wp.pl

thx in advance

does it have to be €ng£ish in return? i can teach you another language.

Yes..i rather want to learn english..sorry:(

How about GG, Magda? I know Polish pretty well but can give little pointers about English if you wish. You could say it's in the blood as I'm an English teacher.

I tend to use my hotmail account for more official correspondence. I find GG more natural but I don't know your level.

She wants to learn English and not, say, Turkish, nomad. Wasn't that clear?

Seanus i am now on c1 level but im not sure that it should be that high..;)
are you an english teacher? But you are polish right?

I am a Scottish teacher of English. Well, at this stage of my life I am :)

So you are native right?:)
it sounds greate.we can talk by email or if you wish by gg.
But in most of cases i use Internet on my iPhone.
So i dont have there gadu but if you promise to talk with me i can buy special kit for my phone.what do you think about it?:)

Yeah, I was born in Scotland. I sent you a test message but I'd prefer GG if you could hook it up somehow :)

Please let me know when you have written sth, Magda, and I'll check. Please let me know how much you want to be corrected. If I am clear on that, it'll be much easier.

Seanus check your email!:)

i found that , it seems like classical Latin where verbs can change depending on the sentence involved

i feel i may be able to speak before i can write , however French it seemed it was the other way around

if you have the money Rosetta stone is a good bet there's a free trial too

I've been reading this forum for a long time and I would never think that so many foreigners wanna learn polish! Totally suprise for me! I'm Polish and of course I like my language but I didn't know that so many Englishmen and other no polish-speaking want to speak it as well!

A lot of people originally from other countries on this forum live here and many need to speak Polish far more often than they speak their first language!

I am the best Polish and I know your language, who wants to help let them write the number, gg 2775515

Hello everyone.

I have a good book to learn. If you buy the same we will do first step to improve your Polish. Because of my technical background technical Polish is also available to learn.

If you wanna know me closer, please write an email.

A lot of people wanna learn polish, I think. But why? ; ) It's really hard. I am a Pole so I know what I say. Polish is very... irregular. And... polish has a difficult pronunciation.

(I hope that the message hasn't got any error/mistake...)

It's not perfect but it's pretty good ; )

Surprised at what you say though - yes, Polish seems to be difficult but the two positive things about it would seem to be:

1) It is reasonably logical - certainly more so than English. E.g. a "rule" works about 90% of the time unlike in English where it seems to be about 41% of the time.

2) Pronunciation - difficult, but consistent at least - again, unlike English. I speak very little Polish but I can read it aloud, albeit hesitantly, with reasonable confidence - and poles can understand me.
