Customer Reviews

Useful and simple.

It's hard to find good materials for teaching Polish. This book has the advantage of being simple, clear, and inexpensive. The method of teaching is traditional. It will give you a good foundation in grammar.

Not too bad

This book is outdated and it uses an old style of language teaching. However, it is a good book to start learning Polish. The vocabulary and the expressions used throughout the book are very useful, and in no time you will be able to say many things in Polish. The exercises can be repetitive and sometimes boring, but they do help you reaffirm the grammar you have learnt in each lesson. If you are looking for a more up-to-date version of this book, it is available online and free of charge. You can also purchase an audio CD for the online version this book.

First Year Polish

This was a very useful book for learning Polish. I lived in Poland for a year and a half. This book was one of the things that helped me become fairly fluent in this hard language. I also reccomend the the Intermidiate Polish by Swan.

Highly recommended

I worked through this book from cover to cover before a trip to Poland several years ago. The vocabulary is colloquial and current. The book turned out to be an excellent preparation for my trip. I found that I could make myself understood in most everyday situations.I found First Year Polish to be so useful, that I bought Intermediate Polish...also and excellent book.
