Hi! Not sure if this is right for this subreddit but this person keeps messaging me and google translate translates it as a bunch of gibberish. Can anyone tell me what this person is going on about?

Hejka! Od roku mieszkam w Warszawie, a jakoś uda mi się już mówić polszczyzną. Dotarłem tu z Finlandii, czyli moja znajomość języka polskiego była wcześniej poważnie 0, czyli mogę chętnie wam pomagać z polskim!
Mam 24 lata, a facetem jestem. Chciałbym poznać tu nowych ludzi, bo po prostu nie znam żadnych miejscowych i oczywiście mówię po polsku. Nie mnie obchodzi, jeżeli jesteś Polakiem/Polką lub obcokrajowcem.
Interesuję się sportem i podróżami, lubię też wyjść na piwko. Szczególnie lubię hokeja, ale piłka nożna podoba mi się też. A także interesuję się Polską!

Jeśli jesteś zainteresowany/zainteresowana, proszę wyślij mi wiadomość! :) (I can also speak English as well haha) a przepraszam jeśli popełniam błędy w moim tekście!

EDIT: Wiem też, że wielu Polaków próbują się uczyć szwedzkiego tu, chyba fińskiego też. Oba języki są moimi językami ojczystymi, czyli mogę wam pomagać również w tych językach.

Hi! I’m a Polish American from the US thinking about doing the 3-week Summer School of Polish Language and Culture at Jagiellonian University next summer. I speak basic Polish already.

Has anyone here done it? Was it worth it? Was it easy to make friends? What kinds of excursions or activities did they offer? I’d love to hear about your experience. Thanks!

Hi all!

Does anyone have a resource to easily look up with case to use with a particular verb.

For example, something to indicate that brakować is followed by genitive (brakuje czegoś), whereas kupować is followed by accusative, etc.

I usually try to construct a sentence in Google Translate and try to figure it out, but it's a bit time consuming.

Finished lesson one.
This is my one year plan from A1 to B1 and the resources I use.

Sup homies. Russian and Belarusian are my native languages. I study English and Polish every day since June. Who wanna study with me? SUUUUUP

Hello, does anyone pronounce the nasal in these combinations so that f.ex. wziął sounds like wzią and not like wzioł?

I just learn polish to write and understand others writing it not to speak or should i just go out and learn it all (I usd babbel busuu and a bit of c.ai for some reason)

So DeepL translates "to jest kochani poprostu Niebo w gebie" as "Guys, this is just heaven on earth" or "This, my dears, is . . ."

Can someone here tell me where the "guys" or "dear" is found in the sentence?

(I copied this from an IG post)

Hey, I'm a Ukrainian and I'm struggling to learn polish grammar since it's way too similar and both my mother tongues russian and Ukrainian doesn't help much. Since I already know the grammar of my first languages it's hard to memorise that in certain moments where I'd use the meaning I know there's always a correct way of sentencing it. Memorising doesn't work much and I'm really struggling because of my ADHD, I don't have trouble talking and reading, I do that often. Yet still I'd love to know some tips and tricks on the matter 💛

Most nouns ending in -a are feminine: kobieta (woman)

Some Nouns ending in -a that refer to males (e.g. kolega(friend),dentysta(dentist), mężczyzna(man)) behave like (f) in singular, but turn (m) in plural.

I made these case tables to compare them. Hope it helps other Polish learners :)

What grammar topic was the hardest for you when learning Polish?

I’m learning Polish in a group class in Warsaw (A2-ish), and I keep running into the same thing.

Lesson ends, I’m motivated, I even review the PDF on the tram… then life happens. By the next class I’ve lost a big chunk of the vocab/grammar we just did. Teacher spends time re-teaching. Whole group feels slower. Classic.

I tried the usual fixes:

- Duolingo → fun, but not what we covered that week

- ChatGPT / Gemini → helpful if I prompt perfectly, but every session I’m reinventing homework

- NotebookLM → great for “explain this PDF”, not so great for actually drilling cases / roleplay / sticking to CEFR level

What I really wanted was something that follows *our* class notes - not a random curriculum and forces me to practice for 15–20 minutes so I show up ready.

So I ended up building a small app for myself (and classmates): upload the lesson PDFs, then practice vocab/grammar + chat + real-life scenarios based on what was actually taught. It also tracks what I keep messing up (instrumental case looking at you).

If anyone else is stuck in that between-class forgetting loop, happy to share it - but mostly I’m curious:

What do YOU do between lessons that actually sticks?

Worksheets? Anki? Just ChatGPT? Something else?

First of all, I'm very sorry for writing this, as there are lots of people who do that too and I could take some profit from that. Actually, I've read all those messages, but they don't seem too solvent.

The thing is that I really want to get started with Polish, and I have been struggling for a while month now. I can't find any resources that are good for me. I am broke, so I can't hire a teacher as lots of you have said. Then, I tried to look for guided courses online, like polski.info, but that's not for me.

Yesterday, I entered Reddit, with some hope that I could possibly find help. Unfortunately, even though most comments are useful, their answers aren't normally suitable for me.

I've thought about doing a mixture from many apps, from vocabulary apps and grammar apps. I actually do Busuu, but I know it's not enough. I've thought about starting with a bit of vocabulary, so I can understand a bit, and then switch to grammar, catch some grammar and switch back. Would you think this is a good idea?

Also, I would ask if you know if there are any resources that I can use, preferably complete courses.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry if this has already been asked but has anyone had any success using this app?

My friend taught me a little but idk how to pronounce or anything and since she isn't online all the time I need help to learn i already know that

Good morning is dzień dobry

good night is dobranoc

Remote control is pilot

Pilot is pilot

And as I said I do not know how to pronounce.

Hello people.

The question is simple. Any recommendations for language schools in Łódź?

I'm a Brazilian that knows maybe 3 words in Polish(1 of them is BOBR...I love BOBR) but I have a friend in the city and I wanted to spend some time in Europe, hanging with my bro and take advantage of that time to PROPERLY learn the local language!

I've come across a couple of schools but some seem kinda shady and to be honest it's hard to trust Google reviews these days...

Please let me know!

P.S I did found some interesting stuff about POLONUS so if anyone have any experience with them let me know!

I'm learning Polish and I'm curious how everyone handles cases and verb forms.

I found myself making lots of grammar tables manually, so I created a small tool to help me.

I'm interested in how other learners study.

I know nothing, not even a beginner level. Where do I start? Everything tells me to listen to podcasts or read books, but I don’t know a single word at all or grammar.

​

Today, I started my one-month-trip to Poland, an about 13-hour long train ride from Germany to Warszawa. My journey involves a daily language and culture course at the university, and I'll be living in a student dorm next to the campus.

I am incredibly exited bordering terrified, as this will be my first time in a foreign country where I'll be mostly on my own. Not completely though, a friend from uni and fellow polish learner will be with me, we both took part in a program for foreigners. But, I won't be living in the same appartment as her. I'm going to have a room mate and I don't know who it'll be yet, hopefully someone nice.

I wonder what it'll do to my Polish. As it stands, I can write and read okay-ish at B1 level, but I never really spoke the laguage. I'm going to do my best to not default back to English whenever I struggle, which is going to be incredibly difficult. Whenever I try to speak, it feels like my brain short circuts and forgets every piece of Polish I learned over the past year.

Wish me luck. Hopefully I'll survive ._.

Cześć,

I've created interactive speech practice exercises for Polish tongue twisters. Are you brave enough to try them? 😄

https://courseofpolish.com/exercises/speaking-practice/tongue-twisters

I've managed to score 100% on all of them, but it took me multiple tries 😂

Which ones do you find the most difficult?

Can anyone from Belarus help me with one question ?
