Sminti 2 | 11 23 May 2011 / #1Hi,Can anyone help?I'm moving to Zakopane for all of July, Aug and Sept 2011 and want to learn Polish on a daily basis....but I've failed to find anyone/school that teaches. Can anyone help?I'm a complete beginner (I know just a few words at present), and am looking for intensive instruction. I've googled for hours looking for language schools in Zakopane but have failed to find anything?Thanks for any help you can provide.Greg
z_darius 14 | 3960 23 May 2011 / #2That could be tricky.The local dialect is incomprehensible to may Poles in the rest of the country. You'll need to ensure you get someone who actually speaks Polish so that the next time you order a shot of "pelenka" in the rest of Poland, they know you mean "wódka".
Dominicus - | 23 25 May 2011 / #3CJ Lektor teaches Polish for foreigners. Here is their website (in Polish):lektor.edu.plbut you can e-mail them for details in English: cjlektor@wp.plIf nothing else, they can set you up with a competent one-on-one tutor.
