GREAT BOOK!

THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR HELP ON CONJUGATION OF POLISH VERBS. EVRYTHING YOU COULD WANT TO KNOW IS IN THIS BOOK. THE SEMI-LARGE PRINT IS ALSO A VERY NICE FEATURE. IT IS EASY TO READ AND THERE IS NO CONFUSION BETWEEN LETTERS THAT CAN LOOK ALIKE. 301 POLISH VERBS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thorough

Dating a Polish guy with a family who doesn't speak english very well is frustrating. Entire hours can be spent without hearing your own language except in short translations. I found this book to be very helpful in my language expanding efforts. One thing especially helped: the short Polish to English aproximations of vowel and letter grouping sounds in the beginning of the book. However, it is neccesary to know someone Polish or have a tape of native speakers in order to get a couple of these down accurately. We just don't have these sounds in English. I couldn't find this in many beginning Polish books and used it often as a reference when I first started. It's a great addition to a beginning speaker's library for building vocab.

Relieves Conjugation Stress

After searching high and low for a book that could facilitate the sometimes arduous task of conjugating Polish verbs, I think the search is over. 301 Polish Verbs, by Klara Janecki, offers a logical and clear approach to learning the Polish verb. Simply by turning the first few pages you get the immediate immpression that this is a quality book. Written with wonderful attention to detail, and with explanations that are presented in clear effective English, success with the Polish verb is not too far around the corner. In addition, the contextualized examples give you a reasonable insight into how the verb can become an active part of your Polish vocabulary. For anyone who wants to increase the speed and effectiveness of their learning, this is a book for you.

Very good reference

this is obviously not a book to be used on it's own. but accompanied by a quality instructional text, this book is great. for example, once in a while you'll encounter a word in an instructional book that doesn't look like the infinitive to any verb. this book will help you to figure those words out. in addition, it allows you to compare various verbs by presenting a verb and all of the ones that are similar. if you spend time learning maybe 5 verbs a day, you'll see that your vocabulary and knowledge of polish increasing tremendously.

301 Polish Verbs

The 301 Polish Verbs is a great advancement over the 201 Polish Verbs. In addition to getting an extra 100 verbs, all the verbs are fully conjugated, in all tenses, and the introduction is much more informative and easier to understand. Each verb now has at least one example sentence to help ensure proper usage. In addition, this book contains 42 sample tests with answer keys. The verb index in the back of the text is easier to read; however, it still lacks an alphabetical listing of perfective verbs. So if you don't know the imperfective verb a lot of time can still be spent searching for it. This is a great reference and I highly recommend it for all levels. I can't wait for 501 Polish Verbs?
