 Pimsleur Conversational polish October 31, 2007

Excellent and easy to learn and understand
I used my lessons so much when I traveled to Poland and the Polish natives thought that I was from Poland and not the USA
Thanks Pimsleur
I highly recommend this to all wishing to learn this most difficult language.

I have tried many different language programs over the years and Pimsleur is hands-down the very best. I bought Pimsleur's Italian 2 years ago to prep for a trip to Italy and, within a month, I learned enough to get around with ease and was able to carry on a decent conversation with the locals. The Polish language is a little more difficult to master, but YOU CAN'T NOT LEARN it with Pimsleur. Seriously folks, don't even bother looking at other programs.
4 Conversational Polish September 14, 2007

Clearly the place to start for conversational Polish. Each 25-30 minute lesson fits nicely into the daily commute. If you are serious about learning Polish, bite the bullet and purchase Comprehensive. If not sure, start with the Conversational for a test drive. Pimsleur is excellent for developing the sounding and flow of the language, and my new-found Polish colleagues were impressed. Repetition incorporates the language into your usable memory. The program does not come with a reference book and you will occasionally find it difficult to decide what letter you're trying to sound out in the words. Purchase a good dictionary and you'll be OK. At the end of Comprehensive you'll be able to perform simple tasks, but your vocabulary will be extremely limited. The audio courses available from other manufacturers do not fit into the American educational style. They can be used following Comprehensive to increase vocabulary. An excellent supplement for written (and audio Polish) is the First Year Polish course, available online at the Univ Pittsburgh.
A Must-Have for Learning Polish August 25, 2007

This audio CD is AWESOME! I purchased it before my first trip to Poland. I had absolutely no background in Polish. 'Couldn't find any classes to take. I purchased this series at the suggestion of a friend. Wow! I couldn't believe how easy it made the language.
The phrases are those that would be used in casual conversation... which is exactly what I needed. The people I met were convinced that I really knew the language! When they started rattling off things I didn't understand, I was able to express my limitations w/ the language.
I enjoyed Pimsleur for Spanish but Pimsleur for Polish is excellent!
