Language / Polish language grammar books [59]

Dana Bielec's book is excellent, but I've just ordered Sadowska's for a more comprehensive grammar. Should come in a few days.
I notice that Bielec uses her own verb categories (is it perhaps similar to Szober's?). I wonder how Sadowska categorizes verbs. I think the Tokarski categories are probably the most common. Does anyone know?

Na razie,

Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]

Go for it! You can always quit if it gets too stressful. The best way to learn how to teach is to teach. Quickly swot up on your grammar and go for it. Or leave the grammar to the Poles and concentrate on giving great conversation practice and pronunciation tips.

Study / Recommend Me some Reputable Language Schools in Krakow, Please! [6]

The Bell School? Callan? (how do you spell that?). It's been a few years since I taught in Kraków and the school I worked in on Ul.Długa has shut.

Most of my income was 90% through private students, though that was 10 years ago. There are loads more native English speakers now than then. I suggest making some catchy little posters with tear off strips with your contact details. post them around the universities/colleges and language departments. I got a lot of work through such posters, and then word of mouth helped too.

Also, everyone googles. There's even a Polish verb "Googlować"!! Make a snappy little website and get yourself on google. Google Places might work in Poland, but I don't know. Never pay anyone to improve your google rating. Local Tutor Forum has some great free tips on improving your google ranking.

Powodzenia!
