Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [59]

Hi guys,
I live in Hull, England. I have recently met a wonderful polish girl who I now meet up with on most days. The only problem is she speaks very simple english, she knows a few basic phrases and some words but it is hard for her to put a sentence together. She has taught me a few polish words and phrases but again it's hard for me to put a sentence together. So I would like to ask for your advice, obviously we would both like to learn each other's native language but would it be easier for me to learn polish or for her to learn english. And how should we go about learning. Would it be best for her to go to night classes for instance or for me to try and teach her?

Thanks in advance for your replies

Thanks for your replies.
I thought it would be best for her to learn english like you guys say, as it would be more beneficial.
In your opinion would night classes be the best way to for her to learn?
She has tried picking up some things from watching tv but finds it hard to follow sometimes
I have said I would help her as well but I don't want to teach her all my grammatical bad habits etc.

Yes I know that Monitor.
As I said before we both want to learn but we just want to find the easiest way for us to be able to communicate more at first.

Thanks Lenka. I appreciate your advice.

And wulkan I am from Hull. So not as far North as Newcastle. There is an accent around here but I don't speak with such a strong accent as maybe the more uneducated locals.

I do ask her to read road signs when we are in the car and so on. But that's just reading words isn't it, not actually understanding the language. Like when she sings along to the radio in english it's more an imitation of the singers voice than actually understanding the words.

I have been looking into night classes for her. And we've decided when she has completed the classes she will start to help me learn polish.
