Is Polish an easy language to learn and is there a way of learning it easily? [105]
Learning Polish will naturally prove essential when dealing with Polish people, within as well as outside Poland! EVERY language out there, either extinct or extant, is both "easy" and "difficult" simultaneously, all depending upon both the learner's relationship to it, along with the level of communication desired. If the bare-bones minimum is all that is required, learning to pronounce correctly a handful of useful Polish phrases might indeed prove useful. If a true understanding of the society from the ground up, so to speak, is the goal, then the texture(s) of the Polish tongue in this case, should be mastered completely. This of course can and often does take many years of serious, concerted effort and almost monastic devotion. Furthermore, don't worry all too much about getting each of the myriad declensions and assorted morphological/orthographical permutations of Polish!! Even some of us who've been studying it, using it, professionally for a long time, continue to make mistakes ^^
I assume your purposes lie somewhere in between, yes?:-)
Another thing, try NOT to rely on local English knowledge! Even in other European countries which have allegedly "fluent" English speakers on every corner, often their English is limited at best, or inaccurate, to say the very leastLOL
