Do you speak Polish?

Priscilla

Hi everyone,

It is widely agreed that speaking Polish is essential for a successful integration in Poland. Do you agree? Share your experience!

Do you speak Polish? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language course in Poland?

If not, how do you cope with daily activities? Is it easy to communicate in a different language with Polish?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi Priscilla,
No, I don't speak Polish, and only few °µÍø½ûÇø do it.
Everything depend in your plans and how long you plan to stay in Poland. There is a big international community where you can survival without speak Polish.
Of course, it could be better for a successful integration learn and speak it, but you need time to study. You need a lot of time....
I'm taking classes at the office, There many teachers that go home or at work place to teach. There are some institutes like IKO, or The Tower that send you teachers. At least, I understand, but I'm not able to talk yet,
Hope could be helpful for you
Regards
Alejandro

Yes, speaking Polish is essential for you to integrate in Poland.  Otherwise you'll always live in the "°µÍø½ûÇø bubble"

As a plus point, if you are an obvious non-Pole (different looks), and you speak Polish, people will be extra helpful!  They are helpful in any case, but you speak some Polish and even the cross ladies in the state offices will bend backwards to help!

Yes, I speak Polish -- I started learning online at supermemo.pl to level A2, then I went for the 1 month crash course at Warsaw University (Each August) -- 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, and continued with Warsaw University Polonicum for a year up to C1 level.  Polonicum is great for getting your grammar perfect.

I then went to iko.com.pl to improve my speaking Polish -- and I strongly recommend that school on Chmielna, Warsaw.

I did my B2 exam in Polish from the Warsaw university in 2013.
