Colloquial Polish: The Complete Course for Beginners has been carefully developed by an experienced teacher to provide a step-by-step course to Polish as it is written and spoken today.

Combining a clear, practical and accessible style with a methodical and thorough treatment of the language, it equips learners with the essential skills needed to communicate confidently and effectively in Polish in a broad range of situations. No prior knowledge of the language is required.

Colloquial Polish is exceptional; each unit presents a wealth of grammatical points that are reinforced with a wide range of exercises for regular practice. A full answer key, a grammar summary, bilingual glossaries and English translations of dialogues can be found at the back as well as useful vocabulary lists throughout.

A clear, user-friendly format designed to help learners progressively build up their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills

Jargon-free, succinct and clearly structured explanations of grammar

An extensive range of focused and dynamic supportive exercises

Realistic and entertaining dialogues covering a broad variety of narrative situations

Helpful cultural points explaining the customs and features of life in Poland

An overview of the sounds of Polish

Balanced, comprehensive and rewarding, Colloquial Polish is an indispensable resource both for independent learners and students taking courses in Polish.

Reviews for Colloquial Polish (3rd Ed) Book & Mp3 Online Download

'The grammatical descriptions are very clear and up-to-date, reflecting a profound knowledge of the language and of its study, and of the art of language pedagogy. The course is one more fine example giving the lie to the deep-roots academic tendency to look down on anything which might be tainted with association with teaching materials .' - Forum for Modern Language In all, this is probably the best and most comprehensive Polish language book I've come across, and is as such, highly recommended.
