Language / I want to learn Polish. Where to start? [180]

Hi Guys, I have just joined as a new member to this forum although I have been reading it ever since I started learning about two months ago. I have found so many of the posts to be helpful, so thanks for that everyone. I have been using the first 10 lessons of unit one pimsleur which I was able to get as a download for £15.00. Trouble is that the rest of the course is a lot more expensive? I am a builder and caught up in the economic downturn, any suggestions on a less expensive method? I use Byki also and just about whatever I can find on u tube. A polish friend has just given me some music, how do you understand that??

Stardom, I just play the C.D's in the car wherever I go. Even if you are distracted and not listening it does go in.

I find that I can remember when I practice alone but then as soon as I go to use it, that is talk to a polish person, I go blank! Anybody else get that?
