In case it's helpful, I'm from the UK and I've been learning Polish for around 2.5 years now. I can understand everything in these videos, watch movies, read books and speak about any topic (although I make lots of grammatical errors!). I'm terrible at writing though. I studied on average 4 hours a day, but that's only: Reading, Watching, Listening to Podcasts, Talking to Polish family members, and making flashcards (3-10 new words a day).

Another 2-3 years and I feel like I'd be at a C2 level, but that's just a guess!

[TheAndrewSchneider]

I definitely found the process of declension and conjugation logical because I have studied Latin and Ancient Greek. So the complicated grammar is something I enjoy!

I am from Spain and I've been studying Russian for years. Watching this video and some others I can tell that would help me because I managed to figure out the meaning of many words and sometimes even some random sentence. I love Polish literature very very much (and art in general, so much creativity over there!), and for some reason in many places I've lived I've known many Polish people with which I got along very well. But I always thought it would be way too hard to learn Polish, even more than Russian. Now I've decided to start learning, and this channel looks perfect (and encouraging). In general I like slavic cultures and languages, and although I was more into Russian, the crazy situation with that country made me look more towards Poland, mostly now that for me it is easier to travel and live there. The big variety of "atmospheres" and the nature of Poland is a big plus too. Thank you!

I live in Poland now, and I have learning Polish for around 1 year from this channel but my Polish is still very basic, .

Pochodzę z miasta Kurytyba, o którym dziewczyna opowiada w filmie.
My mother spoke Polish, but she never taught me. And think, I only found out that she spoke Ukrainian, after I was 50 years old. Now she is with the Lord, and I want to learn some Polish in memory of her and also to get out of my comfort zone, because Polish is one of the most difficult languages ​​in the world and this is good for my cognitive ability.

We lived with my grandparents until I was 5. My grandmother who was born in Poznań spoke to me in Polish..I answered her in English. We communicated well. I still remember many Polish words, and sometimes the Polish words for milk, bread, tea etc. pop into my head. I love Polish movies with subtitles to test myself.

This was so helpful. And the English subtitles and Polish captions are indispensable. Thank you VERY much!

I’m am American who’s been living in Poland with my husband for 15 months now. Here’s a brief overview of the language:

- 3 genders (masculine, feminine, neuter)
- 7 cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, instrumental, dative, locative, and vocative)
- 3 tenses (past, present, future)
- 2 aspects (perfect and imperfect)
- 3 moods (indicative - statements, imperative - commands, and conditionals)

It’s no wonder this is such a difficult, complicated, and yet beautiful language to learn. All of these factors are constantly rotating in your head as you speak the language, as you learn to think a different way (conveying a certain context to your listener) and always making sure the verbs and adjectives match the same gender as the noun. I’m nowhere near fluent but I’m happy I can at least now follow along with conversations.

I'm curious how fast all the Ukrainian refugees are picking up the language? It's coming up on the 1 year anniversary of the invasion and I was thinking about this the other day. I guess it would be immersion learning since they would be interacting with Poles every day in their jobs and in public. That would probably make learning faster. Poland has done a great thing by taking in so many refugees and welcoming them so warmly during such a terrible time. Much love & respect from Seattle, Washington USA 👍 🇵🇱/🇺🇦/🇺🇸

my reason to start learning polish is that well- half of my family is from poland. my father, who doesn’t speak polish didn’t want to have children he couldn’t understand so my brother and i never got to learn polish, now i want to at least get a basic understanding of the language to feel like i can be more apart of the family when the start speaking at reunions, i also think my grandma would be very happy

[SF-kuhp]

My grandmother spoke Polish and my town as child had a large Polish population wish I picked more up before they all got old and passed.

[josyf.j]

Just signed up for the course! I'm so excited as I really need the structure of a class to learn a language effectively. I hope I wasn't too late to get placed! Dziękuję bardzo!

[marenwill]

Djękuję! I just started learning Polish and am an absolute beginner. This video was very reassuring!

[TheAndrewSchneider]

I would definitely say that I would not have been able to get started until I learned the list of Polish kings.

O, to jest fantastyczna inicjatywa! 😀👏 Gratulacje! Uczę się polskiego prawie od 2, 5 lat i oczywiście brakuję mówienia po polsku. Chętnie wziąłbym udział w przyszłych edycjach waszych kursów konwersacyjnych, bo niestety teraz mam bardzo mało wolnego czasu 😖 Na szczęście, teraz mam szansę żeby trochę porozmawiać po polsku osobiście, bo rodzice jednego kolegi ze szkoły moich dzieci są Polakami! 🙂 Widzę, że nosicie już cieplejsze ubrania w tym odcinku! 🍁🍂 Pozdrawiam serdecznie!
