Polish For Dummies

This book is not for dummies, but it is excellent as an introduction to the language. It was a fabulous help as I prepared for travel to Poland. The book includes a CD that presents all-aural examples and a text that explained all the basic grammar, with essential vocabulary lists and sample sentences. I was exceedingly well-prepared for travel, having used this in conjunction with other media. Does not say the sentence in English, only Polish, but gives the situation or context. I used it for several months of listening to train my ear whenever I drove anywhere, before beginning to take notes from the book. The notebook that resulted was most helpful, even after I was in the country. Ms. Gabryanczyk has done an outstanding job of presenting practice in initial aural immersion and written practice.

I've used the book to brush up on my Polish before my first trip to Warsaw. Whether or not you've studied any languages before in school as an English speaker, this will probably be the quickest way for you to learn Polish. It goes through how their consonants and vowels are sounded out, most useful verbs and nouns, and offers enough interesting tidbits about Poland to keep you reading.

It's a very good book. Of course, as it's for "dummies", the explanation (of grammar) are shorter as possible. However, this book contains a lot of example, very useful vocabulary, the most important words or phrases are remarked and highlighted and suitable audios that helps to understand everything. Moreover, the author tells you some Polish anecdotes, tricks or culture stuff that develop a better understanding. The only problem with this book is that, as all lesson are not organized correctly, you can start with any lesson you want, so, some important details may be missed if you had not studied Polish before. So, if you want to learn Polish easily using this book, you should study some basic stuff before.

Good book

Precisely what I was looking for in order to refresh language skills. Original checked out through a local library and immediately ordered a copy from Amazon.

I spoke some simple polish as a child and wanted to enhance my ability to speak as well as write in Polish. I have living relatives in Poland which i would like to communicate with possibly by phone as well as writing. I found the book to be very helpful in doing just that. I also can see why it would be difficult for someone without a polish background to pick up a new language such as Polish. It is a difficult language to learn. The book does an excellent job despite the difficulty of the language.

I learned Polish as a child, but after my dad and grandparents died I didn't use it and forgot a lot. This book is a good refresher. Since I already knew how to read Polish, the section on pronunciation didn't help me, but if you have never used the Polish language - its really good. The descriptions of how to say various letter combinations are very clear and would be useful to a beginner. This is a good beginner's book for conversational Polish.

This is useful, but limited. It would be much more helpful to have more CDs to enhance learning how to speak the language. The instruction here is more sight oriented so it cannot be used in a car. The suggested pronunciations are more limited than a standard phrase book which made it less useful to me, a novice in learning Polish.

Very useful book to help me in my Polish language course. It’s a complicated language but the book helps to break things down and the CD is also a help. Great value second hand and delivered as promised and on time. Continue to use this.

I made payment of rs. 914 /-, the price of this book but I have not got the order ID & the expected delivery date. This seems very bad about Amazon

Tive um produto da coleção, o italiano, e é muito bom para quem está começando ou quer aprender uma nova língua sem livros didáticos ou aqueles cursos onlines que são relativamente caros. O polonês, ainda não tive o prazer de terminar, mas tenho uma expectativa de que, assim como no italiano, possa ter um desenvolvimento linguístico a fim de poder me comunicar basicamente na língua polonesa.

Dieser Kurst ist sehr praktisch und gut. Besonders gut empfinde ich die Lautschrift für die polnischen Wörter. Als EBook gibt es einen Download der Audio Dateien.

esta bastante bien antes de comprarlo ten en cuenta tener una base de polaco antes de empezar
