Hello,
I'm interested in learning Polish, though I can't find any classes in my area. I live in Santa Cruz, California, but there seems to be absolutely no semblance of a Polish community in the area. There is San Jose/Saratoga which is relatively close by, and has a bit of a Polish community, but it's a 40 minute drive there and there's no way in hell I'm driving there for lessons.
While I don't have any experience whatsoever speaking/reading Polish, Russian was my first language, and I think I could pick up on Polish fairly quickly (I can already read about a quarter of Polish with my knowledge of Russian), and I always loved Polish (As well as being slightly ethnically Polish, not very much at all, but something is better than nothing, eh?).
So does anyone have any advice for me?
P.S. Sorry if in wrong category, there isn't anything for learning Polish, and General Language seems like the only place to post this in.
