Hi all! Welcome to my channel!

When we were planning to go to Poland, we did not specifically study Polish. At the beginning I had a small attempt to do something, “Polish for Russians,” I think that’s what it was called. I opened it, as it should be, on the alphabet and when I saw all these letters that were strangely pronounced, which had no analogues in the Russian language, I was horrified, closed it and decided that I’d better leave it, and, having arrived in Poland, I’ll start learning Polish language.

There were a couple of attempts to listen to some Polish speech or some lessons Polish language, and for some reason it seemed to me that it is very similar to Ukrainian, and if we come to Poland, we will be able to speak Ukrainian without any problems. But don't be mistaken, please, because the Poles don't understand at all Ukrainian language. We also encountered such a moment, it was like this for us, maybe for someone it was different, but when we were talking with the Poles and literally made a mistake in one letter or made a slightly incorrect emphasis, they absolutely could not understand what you were talking about generally speaking.

People of an earlier generation learned Russian in schools. This certainly helped us when we arrived, because older people could at least understand us, not talk, but understand. We were lucky that when we arrived, we met a lot of people from Ukraine and Belarus who speak Ukrainian and Russian. For the first few months, they went with us everywhere and translated everything. We are very, very grateful to them for this.

What helped me learn Polish. Of course, this is communication. We communicated with the Poles several times a week. We didn’t complete special courses, didn’t go to special schools, just lively communication with friends, listened to Polish speech, tried to repeat something. This allowed me, within three weeks, to at least understand what was being said. 70%-80% I have already begun to understand what we are talking about. For two months we listened and tried to say something. My advice to you: don’t be afraid to speak Polish! Ask your friends to correct you if you say something wrong, even if you don't know.

Although everyone has their own capabilities, it is very difficult when learning Polish to immediately start speaking correctly. Practice, practice and more practice! Two months later, we asked our friends to study Polish grammar with us. We took several lessons, but in this course we were recommended a wonderful book called “Zaczynam mówić po polsku”. This book has a wonderful overview of all the grammar. This book is only in Polish. The first two months when we arrived, Polish was already heard a little. We saw Polish signs, there was some communication in Polish in shops and with friends. I resorted to such a wonderful course as Polish in 7 lessons: http://speakasap.com/ru/polish-lesson1.html. I think it will be useful to you.

Of course, when you come to Poland and encounter the language, people, and culture here, it was much easier for me to accept this language and start studying it. I do not have the ability to study foreign languages; for me it is something very difficult. For me, mathematics, exact sciences, web design are easier, but in no case languages. This is something very difficult, very difficult for me. As far as I have read different books about learning languages, each person has his own abilities. For some it is easier to perceive by ear, for some it is easier to perceive certain images, for others it is easier to perceive associative thinking. You can read Polish books, watch films in Polish, talk, listen to some dialogues. Find a method that is more optimal and convenient for you. Another very wonderful book on Polish grammar is called “Ten ta to”. Another great course that was recently recommended to us is called “Polish in 4 weeks”. A wonderful book that can be downloaded on the Internet along with audio lessons. The book is based on dialogues on various topics. Dialogues are written that are very easy to understand. Then the grammar is written, and at the end of the word. You listen to the pronunciation, and before your eyes you have it all in written form. You can listen to dialogues on the road by repeating different words, or read on convenient devices.

Poland is a wonderful country to live. This is one of the EU countries where it is easiest to emigrate.

Programmers, designers, photographers and other creative professions who work for themselves have unique opportunity get Residence permit in Poland for 3 years and pay minimal taxes.

Perfect command of a foreign language is not available to many people and requires constant study and practice. However, its study begins small. Need a push. An upcoming trip to this country, the arrival of foreign colleagues or partners, or maybe just a desire that has arisen unexpectedly. Be that as it may, there will be no harm from this. On the contrary, there is one benefit. And the activity is interesting and an additional load on the intellect.

Three smiling, positive-minded girls in the presented twenty-minute video give the first lesson in learning the Polish language. And it begins, of course, with the alphabet. In the form of a cheerful conversation and even a game, they focus the attention of the audience on the correct pronunciation of some complex sounds, especially paying attention to softness and melodiousness.

Girls won't make you difficult participial phrases And compound sentences. Their task is to give an idea of ​​the simple spoken language, where it will be possible to communicate with an intelligent resident of Warsaw and with a simple Polish peasant and with a representative of the Catholic clergy. The knowledge gained during this lesson will definitely come in handy, but the lesson itself is quite interesting and fun.

Once upon a time I suddenly decided to move to Poland. I set myself a short deadline - a couple of months - and only then realized that I needed to improve my Polish sooooo much, preferably in my homeland.

Now I’m not learning Polish from scratch, I have basic knowledge, but they were received more than 10 years ago, and I haven’t used the language at all for more than 6 years. In general, you need to remember and build up a lot.

In general, I’m sharing my steps to learn Polish with you.

Quest 3. Add a twist - simple fiction is better than a children's book

Just reading a textbook is boring! But too many different activities is also too much. Therefore, I went through three quarters of the textbook without taking on anything else. But when it became clear that I only had a week left to study the book, I put the textbook away in the evenings and instead began reading aloud a beautiful children’s book about Polish legends. Large font, beautiful printing, cute drawings - this helped me not to die of horror, listening to my stumbling voice.

The photo is not the book I read, but the essence, I think, is clear.

Quest 4. Introducing good habits

After the textbook has been completed and basic knowledge of grammar and basic vocabulary got into my head a little (I gave myself one day off in honor of finishing the textbook), I began to more actively use what I had gradually implemented in the last week.

The habit of writing down all unfamiliar words

I am writing in an amazing application for Android AnkiDroid - it is essentially a shell for any vocabulary cards in any language. You write everything you need to learn into it, and it shows you everything you need to know at a given interval. A very convenient thing. To be honest, I didn’t try it right away, but now you can’t drag me away by the ears. IMHO, this is best way studying foreign words. Working with the program takes 3-5 minutes a day, during which time you learn 15-20 new words and repeat some old ones. There is nothing better than taking out your smartphone on the subway and poking at words!

Habit of watching several Polish YouTube channels

I like the YouTube channel “20m” because every time there are new Polish people, both young and old, with different tempos and timbres of speech - in general, not always easy, but ideal for learning. I also watch Polish TED. You can also watch films in Polish, but I don’t have a very close relationship with cinema, so for myself I chose videos on YouTube.

The habit of speaking and sometimes thinking in Polish

On particularly good days I find myself thinking that I hear Polish in my head! I hope there will be more days like this over time. Now there are no Poles in my circle, and on well-known sites like sharedtalks no one responded to my advertisement about “talking”. Solution? I made myself a list of 20 standard topics (my family, my city, my hobby, etc.) and periodically tell myself something about these topics. Moreover, I try to do it out loud, it is much more effective. I also try to speak in Polish about everyday topics with those who are aware of my extreme Polish language course. It really pumps up the tongue.

Dictionary Habit

If you don’t know a word that will be useful to you in the future, I immediately look in the dictionary. And she also made it as simple as possible - she downloaded the offline Glosbe dictionary to her phone. At the beginning, I tried to use Google Translate, but, as it turned out, Google doesn’t translate quite a lot of words even without context correctly, so it’s better to use a specialized dictionary.

Habit of reading in Polish

After several months of studying, I picked up an unadapted, but light, funny book in Polish from the same library. The first 20 pages were still a bit difficult for me, but then things got easier and just from the thought that I was reading a real book for Poles, the letters flowed more cheerfully. Oh yes, I still hung up some grammar in the kitchen and you-know-where - I still want to speak competently, so let it be in the background complex cases are remembered.

Of course, if you are facing a serious exam, then you are unlikely to get by with self-preparation alone, but if you just need to be able to speak and understand at a good level, my option is quite viable.

The main thing is to find interesting materials and make access to them as easy and simple as possible. Then your studies will go well. And of course you need to do this regularly, every day. I know from myself that if you miss even one day, it’s much more difficult to get back into the rhythm.

Patience and inspiration to you!

Thanks for reading!

Of course, the website is the most striking representative of teaching Polish za darmo. But it’s not the only one on the Internet dedicated to the Polish language, and I’m always all for “more is better.” And therefore I suggest you familiarize yourself with good options How to learn Polish online for free.

Polish language: sites for free learning

1) I consider the site Popolskupopolsce to be the best resource for systematically studying level A1. Looking through all his lessons, I learned something that I had someday dreamed of creating myself. May God and Anya grant that I succeed even better.

The site is wonderful! All sounds are there, clearly and well recorded, all important and necessary topics for the first level. The site provides the opportunity to do exercises and test yourself without sending any tests to anyone, but observing the results immediately. The resource explains the grammar of the Polish language very well, using interactive activities, pictures, buttons, puzzles and much more. Oh, these are probably the best Polish lessons you will ever find online! The site and, accordingly, all the material is divided into 16 blocks, in which a variety of topics are interestingly intertwined, which you do not necessarily study in one lesson in a course or with a tutor. But you can always skip something or come back to something, the entire site is available at any time, because, remember? - it's free online study Polish language, from scratch and basics.

In the first lecture, this cute alphabet immediately catches your eye, as if created specifically for visual learners. And also for auditory learners, because all the pictures, each letter are clickable, you can hear how the letter is read correctly, and what is called in Polish what is pictured next to it.

Comfortable and correct tests- a huge plus of the site. You can listen, choose your answer, test yourself, give yourself hints, and clear your answers and try again without reloading the page to do so. And there are a lot of such tests, such and similar ones, where you don’t need to write anything, just choose the correct answers - hello to kinesthetic learners!

And at the end of each lesson there is a section where you must honestly answer the questions posed, and if you have all “yes”, then you remember the lecture perfectly.

The disadvantage of the site is that it is designed only for level A1.

NEW!!! Finally there is a book! Which I'm sure is just great! You can buy it, the price is also good!

2) The second site (not for convenience here, but simply the second one that came to mind) site Polskijazyk.pl.

In my opinion, it is much less convenient than the previous one. First, to access the lessons, you need to register. If you don’t want to do this, then you won’t be able to learn. The lessons themselves look like a PowerPoint presentation that only takes up one-third of the screen, meaning two-thirds are just white fields. And in test tasks I often need to write something for lessons. Also, all explanations and tasks are written in Russian, the Ukrainian button does not work for me, there is no Polish option at all. For some, this is more convenient, but for me, it’s better to immediately immerse yourself in the language, rather than keep bumping into Russian, which only gets in the way. But the material itself is worthy, this site can be another addition to your studies. If someone thought that I was somehow too cool in describing this resource, I’ll say this: the site is generally on at the moment does not have any clickable and voiced material, so the PolskiJazyk site is already better in this regard. But I still like the first one better :) Try both and decide for yourself.

3) The next nice resource is Mówić po polsku. For Russian speakers, the disadvantage may be that the explanations there are in English (or German), but if you are already a more or less “advanced user”, you can only pay attention to Polish.

I love that everything here is in video or podcast format. I dream of starting to make videos myself, so I quietly envy those who are already doing it. It also seems to me that the navigation here is very convenient - sites are not always suitable for free study the Polish language can boast of this (why go far - the site cannot boast of this either).

It is quite possible to master a language like Polish on your own, without turning to teachers for help or attending courses. However, the “do it yourself” option is not for everyone. Why? Because learning Polish from scratch at home will require a lot high abilities to self-organization - the student himself will need to “work hard” every day, constantly searching for the necessary data, memorizing the material found. If this scares you, it is better to contact a Polish tutor. Those who have such a quality as perseverance, and who really want to achieve the required results as quickly as possible, will definitely succeed.

At the same time, one should not exaggerate, considering that the process self-study requires supernatural abilities, and that's just extra " headache" It also has many advantages - the student is his own “master” - he creates the most convenient schedule for himself, and works as much as he can. The Polish language teacher does not dictate his terms and program to him. You can teach only what, in the student’s opinion, is interesting and necessary for him, he has the opportunity to devote maximum quantity time to weak points.

Is it possible to quickly learn Polish at home?

If the previous paragraph “annoys” a beginning polyglot, he should enter the phrase “I’m looking for a Polish language tutor” into a search engine (searching for a teacher via the Internet is convenient because you can find reviews about the person and get acquainted with the opinions of those who have already applied to him for services).

If not, that's just great! After all, another advantage of self-study is significant money savings. You will have to spend money, perhaps, on textbooks. But they can also be found on the Internet.

At the same time, do not forget about the “correct” learning system. If the student is not an outstanding teacher, it is still better to use the expertise of specialists. Without a competent methodology, neither books, nor video lessons, nor audio materials will save a polyglot beginner, and the answer to the question “how to quickly learn Polish at home” in this case will be obvious - no way.

Where can I get the technique? On the same Internet. Exists large number thematic sites with courses created using modern techniques, textbooks that can be downloaded for free.

Video tips on how to start learning Polish on your own

Also, at any time, a beginner who has the Internet can communicate with experienced teachers, since learning Polish at home without outside help is still very difficult. They will be happy to help him construct sentences, tell him how to correctly pronounce this or that word, etc. All that is required for this is a program such as Skype and a microphone.

Are you asking yourself how to learn Polish at home as quickly as possible? short terms? It's very simple - be patient and devote most of your free time to lessons.

What features does it have? given language:

• there are a lot of hissing sounds in it. A beginner mastering the speaking part will have to work hard on correct pronunciation.
• it is characterized by dynamic stress, which, however, in most cases “falls” on the penultimate syllable;
• Polish pronouns have short as well as full forms;
• a large number of German languages ​​“migrated” into this language at one time, French words, he is also “rich” in words from Latin.
