Learning Polish online help

Quoting: marriedpole

when i goto the polish dictionary and some of the words i can't find

Quoting: glowa

'zwrotow'you can't find this one ('zwrotów'), because it's not in it's basic form (singular, first case - denominator), it is 'zwrot' you should be looking for in this case it's not the presence of those letters, that makes it hard to find a word in a dictionary

Inter I've found the best way to learn Polish is to actually go there, I made friends with a group of Poles living here in England and last summer we went on a roadtrip all round Poland. I was only there for 2 weeks but I learnt much more there than I ever would on the internet. Polish is a hard language to learn and you really need to be in Poland as you can get lots of practice, for example asking for things in a shop and using Polish money etc.

Rosetta Stone.com is by far the best program I have found its a little expensive but if youre serious its well worth it.

Quoting: jstacho What is the best program for learning Polish? I like Rosetta Stone, although I think it's really best to find a book to go along with it, because it's purely "immersion," with no instructions as to cases and tense and so on. Rosetta Stone along with a nice dense text from the library is working nicely for me, I think, although it's still early - I haven't learned too much yet. :) Also, the free trial of the Transparent Polish program is nice for learning a bit of vocab and pronounciation. Quoting: jstacho Rosetta Stone.com is by far the best program I have found its a little expensive but if youre serious its well worth it. Or of course you could download it via bitTorrent and save a few hundred $. Of course, that would probably be illegal, and I know no one would want to do something illegal just to save some money, right? :p

Quoting: gloios How would one go about doing this... Just for reference of course Well, it's rumored that, as Telifonitika mentioned, programs of that type can be found floating around torrent sites as .iso files. From what I've heard, an .iso file is an "image" of a CD-Rom, meaning it's sort of like a digital photocopy of the CD you might buy in a store. If someone were to download an .iso, it would be useless without a disk emulator, since the file needs to be seen as a CD by your computer. Fortunately, disk emulators are legal to use, and free to download, e.g. "DAEMON Tools," a freeware program which will run an .iso if you're into that kind of thing. :)

polishgrammar.com is the best because it is drills not tables. I never learned anything from a table. But you go through this and you will see common ending patterns

Quoting: marriedpole when i goto the polish dictionary and some of the words i can't find If she writes it with the Polish letters in an electronic form, you should be able to simply copy & paste them, I can copy & paste Russian letters/words in MS Word (but not in Notepad) and in my browser (Opera), even print them and I don't Russian fonts installed on my computer. If you actually need to write those Polish letters yourself, there are several threads about installing Polish fonts - just look at the section "General Polish Language" Or maybe your problem is linked to the declination/conjugation and you are looking for wrong forms - here's an example, from an other thread, of what I mean Quoting: glowa 'zwrotow'you can't find this one ('zwrotów'), because it's not in it's basic form (singular, first case - denominator), it is 'zwrot' you should be looking for in this case it's not the presence of those letters, that makes it hard to find a word in a dictionary If you don't need to use Polish fonts too often, and don't want to change any settings on your (or especially on someone else's) computer, you can always use Polish Wikipedia (www.pl.wikipedia.org) - when you type a word they don't have in their definitions, a bigger search window appears and right under the search bar you can see "Klawiaturka:" and then Polish fonts follow

hi, polish.slavic.pitt.edu has a course that you can download onto pdf format and do at your own pace. The situations, conversations and pictures are typical of what you would find if in Poland. It always helps to have a native speaker to check your pronunciation though. If you want to go for rosetta stone I would recommend trying ebay US for 100 pound less!! Or try the old fashioned way of a bottle or two of vodka with some Polish friends, good luck to everyone who wants to learn :-)
