Learning Polish

There are lots of resources available for learning Polish.  It seems like no one has been able to improve on good old-fashioned study and practice!  There simply is no magic bullet for learning a language, and as an inflected language, Polish is fairly difficult for English speakers.  A good course is Polish in 4 Weeks (click here or here to buy it online).  This doesn't mean you'll be speaking like a native in four weeks, but this does seem to be a good course. 

Before You Know It (BYKI) is a different kind of language-learning software. It is smart and personalized. It is curiously addictive - perhaps because it is so effective at teaching people words and phrases with Perfect Recall.  Click here to go to the BYKI website and download the free software for Polish or 62 other languages.
