Polish in 4 Weeks CD-ROM

@Kattel
Sure, no problem. Maybe drop me your email and Ill send them to you. Or other via

A quick search on ebay could have saved them some time for this outdated Book/CD

babbel.com is better.

I wonder how the lessons are going?

Ive located the book w/CD

Hello i cant find the audio mp3 Please Help me

Try VK.com

They have a lot of such resources.

You may need to use autotranslate on the site at first if it's not apparent how to switch it to English.

So, these freeloaders only want mp3 so they don't have to pay $15. Lol
It a good way to pick up a virus, use torrent! Haha

I had this book cd a few years ago. I'm sure I have the cd sitting around somewhere.

Much of the stuff there is out of the shops or hard to find.


They aren't torrents and in any case, antivirus software is important, especially for windows users.

I'm also looking for these mp3s as I recently bought the book but it didn't have the cd.

rea-sj.home.pl/EP4W1 doesn't work, and others are looking here:
reddit.com/r/poland/comments/146r1t3/polish_in_4_weeks_learning_book_mp3_files/

You can contact the publisher here:
facebook.com/wydawnictworeasj
facebook.com/wydawnictworeasj/about

I was able to download the Part 2 of the audio here:
web.archive.org/web/20230203093820/rea-sj.pl/materialy-do-pobrania/
I didn't try every archival page but on several I'm unable to download Part 1, this error comes up: "The server could not find the file"

I've sent an email and if I hear back I'll post here. If more people contact them via email and FB we may get an answer.

At this point the publisher could upload the audio to archive.org/details/audio_bookspoetry or some other public site as an "audiobook" if they are legally able to.

If you prefer audiovisual learning methods keep searching online for others, here are a few online webpage-based examples:

@samotnik
Thank you for Part 2!! Ive been trying to find them forever. I have part 1 in my computer, but I dont know how to share them here. Im open to suggestions.

@Fernando Hernandez

Sorry for the late reply. You can use any file sharing website:

google.com/search?q=file+sharing+website
google.com/search?q=file+sharing+website+with+password

Some of them allow you to even add a password which you can pm to people here if you wish.
If you can upload Part 1 somewhere, or combine both parts since there is no guarantee that archive will work forever, that would be great.

I guess you could also try to upload both to Archive.org (or those free upload sites) which will save you the hassle of pm-ing people regularly:

archive.org/details/audio_bookspoetry

I haven't heard from the publisher and don't expect to so at this point we are left to our own means to share the material with others.

As you can see from the example above it can take a long time and a lot of research to find something.

For me the audio with text and/or visual is the best learning method. I recommend the links I already posted above:

usborne.com/row/quicklinks/quicklink/first-thousand-words-in-polish
popolskupopolsce.edu.pl/lekcja/1/MAZOWIECKIE

...and finding books in Polish that have both a print or ebook and audiobook for self learning. Bilingual books with audio are harder to find but some exist, including free online/pdf versions here:

wolnelektury.pl/katalog/
wolnelektury.pl/katalog/audiobooki
bilinguis.com
bilinguis.com/book/alice/pl/en/c1/

There appears to be more bilingual books in Polish & English to teach English to Polish speakers than the other way around, and of those books, most are without audio:

ifrank.pl
zeslownikiem.pl

It's a complex subject that each person will have to invest the time into researching and testing what will work for them.

@samotnik
Ok here are the files. Part 1 is the spanish version, but it doesnt really matter, the only think that changes are some names, and the title of the chapter. Let me know if you have access. Otherwise, ill try again. archive.org/details/track-28_202403

@FHernandez (and any others that are lurking and reading this now and in the future)

Thank you for the upload. The files play well on Archive.org and I successfully downloaded all and played some of them, they seem to be working fine.

The multiple voices having more natural-sounding conversations is helpful.

Track 1 - Track 28 is Part 2 with some English intros
Track01 - Track28 is Part 1 with some Spanish intros

There were just a few words in Spanish as part of some intros but it's not a big deal.
Until others post the other English and Spanish Part 1 and 2s, people can use the voice option for translation on the Google Translate app or website.

I also know a little Spanish and it's an easy language to listen to at least for me.

translate.google.com
google.com/search?q=google+translate+app

Here is the original learning book, there are more than a few editions:
google.com/search?q=polish+in+4+weeks

You may still be able to find it (and more resources) in your local library:
search.worldcat.org/search?q=polish+in+4+weeks&offset=1
google.com/maps/search/local+library/

If you do find a copy with a cd maybe someone can extract and upload the other parts.
I am unable to do this at the moment but I will look into it.

...

There are many resources containing audio, if I may share a few more here:
A Polish government production:

gov.pl/web/udsc/materialy-dydaktyczne-do-nauki-jezyka-polskiego---dla-dzieci
gov.pl/web/udsc/materialy-dydaktyczne-do-nauki-jezyka-polskiego---dla-doroslych

You may have to rename some of the files to organize them. There are also paperback book versions of the pdfs available:
"Z językiem polskim każdego dnia"
allegrolokalnie.pl/oferty/q/%22Z%20j%C4%99zykiem%20polskim%20ka%C5%BCdego%20dnia%22

A youtube channel in Polish audio with Polish and English subtitles:
youtube.com/@EasyPolish/videos

An audio Bible in Polish whether you are religious or not:
wordproject.org/bibles/audio/33_polish/index.htm
wordproject.org/bibles/parallel/c/polish.htm

I didn't see what translation version the audio is based on as there are many.

Music sung in Polish is another way to learn. Poetry, spoken word, historical speeches, stage & screen, hip-hop and rap are probably the most word-dense and understood more clearly than lyrics that are sung less clear and hidden in layers of sound. The disco polo, cabaret and folk genres (solo folk singers with a rambling spoken-sung style, zespoły śpiewaków ludowych / folk singer ensembles) also have word-dense songs with clearer vocals which are delivered in a style of shorter vocal than a longer drawn out style such as in opera, choral, rock, metal, etc which can be harder to understand.

A few examples I recently discovered:

Maciej Pietrzyk - Sierpień 80 (1989)
youtube.com/watch?v=vQtjLfOp29g&list=OLAK5uy_lGPoDBJRo54v6O5c1yAf1aIeAKUJCGQ2w

Polskie Piosenki Zakazane Ocenzurowano (2008 Reader's Digest 5xCD Compilation)
google.com/search?q="polskie+piosenki+zakazane"+cd

If you happen to find a copy this may look like a "bargain bin" production but it turned out to be an excellent historical document which deserves a reissue and wider digital release.

Films, tv shows and video games also have audio dubbing, multiple separate language tracks and/or subtitles (of varying accuracy) so while they can be another resource the translation may be of less quality and waiting for people to speak will take longer than listening to simpler direct Polish speaking and singing. Audiobooks (polskie audiobooki) accompanying a book or ebook are the most clear and direct to listen to and read-along.

I have solved the mystery! A quick search through my moms attic and shazzzam! I knew, I had this book back in the 90`s..lol

Let the bidding begin!

I'd love to watch Dragon Balls(Animie) with Polish commentator, any website that has it?

@Joker
Those sell on e-bay for $9.79 new with free shipping.
I want to know if you actually learned any Polish from it besides, "Honey, what time is dinner."

I pointed this out before. Apparently, its hard to obtain wherever they are freaking about this book from. Too funny. Nobody can learn Polish in 4 weeks! Hahaha

Ill give it away, but you pay the postage!
