The Polish language - from the sixties to today

Hey,

I have recently found a very old book on Polish in my friends University library, it was made during the sixties (closer to the beginning of the seventies). I would like to know if there is any point me using this book to teach myself Polish, it seems to be quite good, I am just worried that it may be a little out of date.

Do I need to worry? Has the core grammar changed that much? What subtle changes should I look out for?

Thanks

The grammar hasn't changed at all, neither has the pronounciation. When I watch films from the sixties, I can hear no difference at all except that some actors may be still pronouncing the dark "£" which is like the English LL in WELL and not like the English W in it. Of course, you will not learn words like "internet", and "komórka" won't mean "mobile phone" yet.
