The best tool to learn Polish

The textbook "We Learn Polish" is a language course for learners of Polish as a second language. It is suitable for elementary and early intermediate learners of Polish. Initially program was created some 60 years ago for foreign students who decided to attend university in Poland. At this time there was no English language courses as they exist now. Students were stationed in city of Lodz, where in 8 months they were attending Polish language classes. At the end of the course they had to be ready to take medical, engineering, economy or any other university level couses in Polish language and had to mix with the rest of the students, mostly Polish speaking. Over the years this program has been mastered and was prepared in 8-10 different languages. It is considered the most effective material whithin the group. English language version is used in most Polish language schools in the USA, Australia and UK. It consists of two volumes: "Texts" and "Grammar and Usage Notes and Exercises" as well as 2 CDs. Books are prepared for English speaking students and all instructions are in English language. First book contains 50 units. Each unit consists of a text introducing new grammatical forms and syntactic structures and a list of words used in the text. In addition to the reading texts and dialogues this volume includes poems written by the leading Polish poets of the 20th century, tables extending the vocabulary range and the lyrics and music of a few most popular Polish songs. It is also illustrated with drawings and photographs.
