Polish courses can make your life better - here's how.

At a glance:

● Fascinating and unique language
● Plenty of classes in London
● Great way to learn about Poland

The Lowdown

Polish, we’re not talking about what you use to shine your shoes, but the mother language of Poland. Polish courses will help you with a tongue spoken by over 40 million people. From the natives of that Eastern European country to Polish communities as far flung as the US, Brazil and Israel, learning to speak Polish is a pretty worthwhile past-time.

The Crowd

Like a lot of Slavic tongues, at first listen, Polish can sound impenetrable and completely foreign to Western European ears. You may immediately think of the alien-looking Cyrillic alphabet, but the good news is, apart from a few tweaks and additions, the Polish alphabet sticks pretty closely to our own, which should take a lot of the pain out of Polish courses.

With a large Polish community in London, it’s a great way to learn more about a fascinating country and its people and there will be plenty of people to practice on. And for fans of learning languages, why not try something new; Polish.

The Cost

The boom in immigration from Poland since they joined the European Union has brought more than just great food and delicious beer. Polish courses are now easy to come by in London. By booking lessons in bulk they can cost as little as £15 per hour. Your only other expense will be a Polish - English dictionary.
