Polish Tutors in Dallas, TX?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a Polish tutor in the Dallas area. I have no prior knowledge of Polish, but I'd love to start learning to reconnect with my family roots, 4 of my great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers emigrated to the US from Poland, but the language was never passed down to my grandparents.

Ideally, I'm looking for in-person lessons (though I'd be open to online if there's a great option). Any suggestions for local tutors, language schools, or even conversation groups in the area would be really appreciated!

Thanks so much!

English is the only language worth knowing.

I know both and find Polish useless here, in Europe, and in Poland.

They will speak fast and you will lose half of they are saying. The other half is BS.

If you speak English, the advantage is yours. Trust me.

Just because a language doesn't feel useful to you doesn't mean it isn't valuable to others. I'm planning a six-month trip to Poland and want to be able to communicate with locals, especially since I'll be visiting small towns to meet some extended family.

Sure, many people in big cities speak English, but being able to speak even a little Polish helps connect on a deeper level and shows respect for the culture. When I visited Italy, knowing some Italian made a huge difference, and I imagine it'll be the same in Poland.

Well, you know, there are only 2 genders in Polish, then this is paradise for you. 😁

I think you'd do better to go for online lessons, as that opens up a much wider choice of teachers than in person in Dallas.
This place in Warsaw has an excellent reputation (but certainly isn't the cheapest option): iko.com.pl
And the Sopot School of Polish has been operating for 35 years, so they must be doing something right. I know a few people who've been there and liked it (although most were there in the 1990s): ssp.edu.pl

Poor Ryan...There is no "deeper level" anywhere worth the effort...

I was born in Poland. I spent 24 years there and still can't follow what they are saying...Between pronunciation, slang, and made-up words...forget it...

The only word I hear from two Polaks talking is kurwa. Or kurwa mac...

In every village, there are many 30-somethings and younger. They speak English enough...Ignore the old farts...

@Rich,

I remind you that proper, grammatically sound, and semantically engaging English is worth knowing,
and not the sort of foul bilge your kind dishes out on a regular basis, like so much sewage, fit only
for the gutter, vulgar, dirty, worthless!

Seems to me you fellas could stand a bit more familiarity with Hollywood black/white classics and far less
with the current crap of movies.

Do you wear a suit and a tie to breakfast on Sunday?

When going to a restaurant in the USA, do you wear a suit and tie... because in Europe it is not required.
