The purpose of the manual is to teach Russian-speaking students speech activity in Polish. The manual is distinguished not only by its modern methodological base, which combines communicative and problem-based approaches to teaching foreign languages, but also by modern attractive content. It is full of quizzes - puzzles, author's humorous stories, new cheerful versions of popular fairy tales, combines elements of literary and spoken language. All this makes the learning process not only effective, but also interesting and enjoyable.

Learning any foreign language is not easy. What to do if a person is going to Poland in a couple of months and wants to easily move around in the Polish environment?

Before we get started, let me tell you a few words about myself.

I move freely in the Polish environment and I have continuous contact with the Poles.

Personally, I have tried many ways to feel comfortable among the Poles.

Below are the methods:

1. We find a tutor or study from a self-instruction manual.

Of course it's best to hire a good tutor who will correct you, train you in any area. But, if this is not possible, then you can use the tutorial. The effect is certainly not the same, but still better than doing nothing at all in the field of learning the Polish language.

However, I want to warn you in advance that this is a paid tutorial and the reason why I stopped using it is the automatic withdrawal of money from the card without your knowledge. That is, you passed, for example, a course, but still Op, and money was withdrawn from your account a month in advance, which you will not return. Therefore, I recommend using the free version.

Personally, I have used various ways learning Polish. I took courses, I had a tutor, plus I studied in parallel with the tutorial and used all the methods below.

2. Watch movies and series in Polish

As a rule, Poles speak quite quickly and it is very difficult for a beginner to understand Polish speech. Watching movies will help solve this problem.

1.Och, Karol 2(2011)

2. Śniadanie do łóżka (2010)

3. Wkręceni 2 (2015)

4. Być jak Kazimierz Deyna

5. Kochaj i tancz

Gosia Andrzejewicz – Otworz Oczy

Enej – Skrzydlate ręce

Listening to Polish songs following principle: press to vk.com in our audio recordings for the song, we see the lyrics of the song. We read the text, we translate not clear words. Then you can listen by ear. There are more benefits than just listening to a song.

4. Reading Polish books

Thanks to reading Polish books, you can easily adapt to the Polish environment. The books have unknown words, plus thanks to this method you will be able to speak Polish better. Educational books on the internet are boring. For great effect, I suggest buying Polish books in Polish stores (who have the opportunity).

Jane Austen "Opactwo Nortbanger"

Nicholas Sparks

Ewa Foley

Read very carefully, underline unknown words, learn new words 10 words a day and the effect will not be long in coming. After a month, you can notice that you understand everything in Polish, speak better and use new words.

5. Of course practice

This is one of the less easy ways. Be sure to speak Polish. Try to speak with the Poles, even if you are not sure of your speech. You will not be bitten, and you will gain valuable experience. In this case, a tutor can help, or the site http://conversationexchange.com You can communicate with Poles for free if you are ready to teach them Russian in return. This site is for sharing experience. Just don't put high hopes on him. At one time, when I was looking for native speakers of Polish, only guys responded. As soon as she said that I was married, they stopped talking. The girls were very passive in this regard. Poles who want to learn Russian will not let you communicate normally in Polish, they try to use it for their own good all the time. But it's still worth a try.

Of course, the site site is the brightest representative of learning the Polish language za darmo. But our business is still very young, and you want to know the language now, so we suggest that you familiarize yourself with good options on how to do it for free.

Polish: sites for free learning

1) The best resource (don't throw stones at me) I think is the Popolskupopolsce website. Looking through all his lessons, I learned something that I have ever dreamed of creating myself. God and Anya grant that I succeed even better.

The site is wonderful! All sounds are there, clean and well recorded, all important and desired topics for the first level. The site provides an opportunity to do exercises and test yourself without sending any tests to anyone, but observing the result immediately. The resource expounds the grammar of the Polish language very well, using interactive lessons, pictures, buttons, puzzles and much more for this. Oh this is probably best lessons Polish that you can ever find on the web! The site and, accordingly, all the material, is divided into 16 blocks, in which various topics intertwine in an interesting way, not necessarily studied by you in one lesson in courses or with a tutor. But you can always skip something or go back to something, the whole site is available at any time, so remember? - it's free online study Polish, from scratch and basics.

In the first lecture, this pretty alphabet, as if created specifically for visuals, immediately catches the eye. And also for audials, because all the pictures, each letter is clickable, you can hear how the letter is read correctly, and what is the name in Polish of what is depicted next to it.

Convenient and correct tests are a huge plus of the site. You can listen, choose your answer, check yourself, prompt yourself and, by clearing your answers, try again without reloading the page. And there are a lot of such tests, such and similar ones, where you don’t need to write anything, just choose the right answers - hello kinesthetics!

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

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

NEW!!! The book has finally arrived! Which I'm sure is just great! You can buy, the price is also good!

2) The second site (here not for convenience, but just 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 that, then you won't be able to learn. The lessons themselves look like a PowerPoint presentation, taking up only one-third of the screen, that is, two-thirds are just white boxes. And in test tasks Lessons often require writing. Also, all explanations and tasks are written in Russian, the Ukrainian button does not work for me, there is no Polish option at all. It’s more convenient for someone, but as for me, it’s better to immediately immerse yourself in the language, and not continue to stumble upon Russian, which only gets in the way. But the material itself is worthy, this site can be another addition to your studies. If it seemed to someone that I somehow described this resource too coolly, I’ll say this: the site is generally on this moment does not have any clickable and voiced material, so the site polskijazyk.pl is even better than that. 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 like that everything here is in video or podcast format. I dream of starting to shoot videos myself, because I quietly envy those who are already doing it. It also seems to me that navigation here is very convenient - not always sites for free study of the Polish language can boast of such (why go far - the site cannot boast of this either).

An interesting approach to learning Polish

And not only Polish - English, German, but also Spanish, because these are the languages ​​that are now presented on the That.School website.

The trouble with many online courses is that they:

• or consist of one glamatic test, which bothers;
• or are designed mainly for level A1, that is, for the very beginners, for B2 and C1 you will not find a decent online course in the afternoon with fire;
• or not always as free as advertised;
• or have been known to everyone for a long time and are of no more interest.

Here - I can't say that it's a super-revolutionary approach, but at least it's interesting. The trouble is that I do not know German, and it is difficult for me to evaluate this particular side of the course. But if you look at the proposed Polish, then, firstly, everything is correct (I mean that I did not find any annoying mistakes that I often see and hear from different bloggers), and secondly, I still don’t know how to write tests and lessons. Solid usability! Plus: Polish with Wikipedia is a great idea! The only bad thing is that it's not enough. Of course, in many ways this is a matter of lack of time, because the guys, in addition to courses, also have to earn their bread. But a very healthy start has been made!

In my opinion, the That.School project is on this stage can be a great addition to your way of learning Polish. If you also study English, German or Spanish, there is even more material for these languages.

More! http://easy-polish.com/pl/ - at first glance - a very interesting site! Focused on vocabulary building!

So far, these are all the resources that I would like to mention. It is clear that these are not all existing ones, there are great multitude everyone, and I will supplement this article with interesting discoveries.!

If the material was useful, we will be glad to support! This can be done here:

I don't think this title needs a long introduction. If you came to this site, then you are probably interested in life in Poland and are planning to move here. And the language is simply necessary for this. In the article I will try to systematize known ways study, give useful links and add as much personal experience as possible.

Self-study

Let's say you don't have the money or time to go to a course or a tutor. Let's see what you can do on your own.

1. Textbooks, tutorials

An option for those who are not lazy can pull themselves together and set aside time every day to read the chapters of the textbook and do the exercises. Personally, I "started" with the AST publishing house tutorial. It is not bad for beginners, it is sold along with a CD-ROM, on which interesting dialogues are recorded.

There is also an excellent series of textbooks called Polski, krok po kroku. And textbooks are actively used by my friends who attend language courses.

I will not list other books, because on our website with all the necessary links for downloading. My linguist friends especially recommend the third paragraph from there - an old one, but very good tutorial Vasilevskaya and Karoljak.

By the way, we have another post, but there are already more secondary materials.

2. Online services

There are many sites on the net for learning languages, including Polish. Personally, I recommend a quality course for beginners polskijazyk.pl. Everything is free, you just need to register. The presentation of the material is similar to a tutorial, but after each piece of theory there is verification tests including audio materials.

I was also recommended the Speakasap.com resource. It has 7 Polish video lessons for entry level. There is also an app for smartphones. And for an additional fee, you can work out the whole theory, communicating with the teacher.

3. Applications for smartphones

In fact, this item could have been described in “online services”, but it was singled out separately. Almost everyone now has smartphones, they are constantly in hand or at hand. Here you are driving in transport, reading out of boredom Twitter or In contact with, but you might as well launch the app and practice your Polish instead!

First of all I recommend free program"Duolingo" (applications are available for popular platforms: iOS, Android and Windows phone). This is a complete course for beginners, well and visually compiled, with tests for memorization, writing practice. The only negative is the basic English language, that is, they teach you through English, there is no Russian yet. With my knowledge of English at an intermediate level, this is not a problem - I understand everything.

Another quality app with audio lessons and tests is "Learn Polish" by ATi Studios (iOS, Android). But only a small part is available for free there.

Books are also an option. I will not give specific links, what exactly to read, everything is individual here. Although again - my friends highly recommended starting with Harry Potter or Robinson Crusoe. Children's books usually have simple and clear language. But, in my opinion, it is better to find those books that you have previously read on mother tongue and which you liked so much that you couldn't put it down. There is a chance that you will not come off in Polish either. Well, there will also be a basis for understanding.

I’ll note right away that it’s hard to find on the Polish Internet modern books free of charge, it is more “civilized” in contrast to Runet, Bynet or Uanet. So I recommend buying books, for this there are enough different services, for example, Virtualo or Woblink.

If you are reading from a phone, then there are very good apps, sharpened specifically for reading in foreign languages ​​(one-click translation). For Android, I advise - Reader-Translator, for iOS - Diglot.

All experts in the field of language learning recommend actively replenishing vocabulary and work with dictionaries. Comes across unfamiliar word- write it down, then repeat it until you learn it. This again will be very helpful applications for smartphones, where you can create cards with foreign words. For iOS, I recommend Learn On the Go, for Android - FlashWords.

5. Listen to people, talk to them

There is such a method as passive language learning with immersion. Let's say you have already arrived in Poland and you can't get away from here. And that's great, because the language environment is the best option! Listen to what and how people say, communicate with them if possible. Something will turn out even from scratch, because Polish is a language Slavic group, it is partially similar to Russian, even more - to Ukrainian or Belarusian.

No need to switch to English or ask for more experienced acquaintances, if you need, for example, to call and make an appointment with a doctor, talk to the director kindergarten, explain something in a beauty salon ... Use translation programs (Yandex.Translator, for example, in terms of Polish is very good), prepare the text in advance, understand it, remember it. Feel free to speak, even if you see that the interlocutor is straining to understand you. In any case, you will not see any negative, Poles are usually polite and positive, they are pleased that visitors are trying to learn their language.

Learning with someone's help

There are not so many options here, as a rule, they require more money and time. But they also differ in efficiency.

1. Group courses

The most obvious way to learn a language. Courses are available everywhere, often inexpensive or even free. For example, in our city (Lublin) there are two options free courses(both for beginners and experienced) from volunteer organizations and foundations. Their start is usually from September-November, it’s not so difficult to get in if you don’t come at the last moment. In addition, there are private firms language courses, courses at educational institutions.

My husband has a lot of newcomers from the CIS at work, they found a teacher and regularly study in the office, pay a split - also an option.

If you are not yet in Poland, then in major cities In Russia/Ukraine/Belarus, there are also probably Polish schools. Learning in a group is interesting - you listen to colleagues, communicate with each other. Of course, this method takes time - you need to travel somewhere several times a week. But you are unlikely to be lazy (which happens when you study on your own), you will have to say and remember something in any case.

2. Tutor in person or online

It is believed that an individual teacher is more effective than group lessons. After all, his time and attention is devoted only to you. Such lessons are again offered by language companies, and you can also find tutors on the net, on classifieds sites, for example. Of course, it's more expensive.

If you do not have the opportunity to go to the teacher or invite him to your home personally, to help the internet will come. The easiest thing to do is skype. Again, such teachers can be searched for on major classifieds sites (in Poland - olx.pl). There are also special catalog sites for tutors, such as e-korepetycje.net or italki.com. They provide information about the experience of the teacher, publish student reviews. Among the tutors there are both native speakers of the Polish language and visitors from the CIS. The second option, of course, is cheaper and, perhaps, quite optimal for a start.

In addition, it is possible to communicate with native speakers for free! There are sites on the network that allow you to find interlocutors in the language you are interested in. In return, you will communicate with them in your own language - a benefit to everyone! I recommend ConversationExchange and HelloLingo (formerly LiveMocha). Of course, you will not meet them professional teacher but just practicing the language is great!

Well, that's all the tips for learning Polish. I hope they were helpful to you! I no longer began to write all sorts of banal things like “do it regularly” and so on. In learning a language, the main thing is desire. If you understand why you need it, success will not be long in coming. And there are enough methods of studying, and thanks to the development of the Internet, all of them are now more than accessible. Choose the right one, good luck!

Considering that trade and tourism between Poland and the countries of the East (Ukraine, Belarus, Russia) are flourishing, more and more attention is being paid as a language of communication and business, and its popularity among Ukrainians is growing rapidly. We believe that learning Polish is extremely easy, it does not require significant material or time costs. The main thing is your motivation and desire to gain knowledge of the Polish language. The rest is up to us!
