Best way to learn Polish??

My girlfriend is Polish and we visit her parents in Poland a couple of times a year. All is great, only i can't speak the language and find it very difficult to learn. I would love to learn it so that i may communicate better with her friends and family. Any tips or suggestions on better or easier ways of learning polish?

One way - bite the bullet and study! Good luck

just move your fat lazy ass and start learning, when you cant fix some problem at work u also cry like here Mr. Engineer?

Good advise, and, your girlfriend will be able to help you too.

I think i'm gonna need it! Oh and Halloween, 1- I'm Not fat, 2- I'm not lazy, 3- i've been learning for 7 months, 4- I'm only asking for advice, 5- If you have nothing intelligent or helpful to say, don't say anything at all. And finally 6- Thankyou!, why? because now if i want the least intelligent and unconstructive opinion on the web, i now know who to talk to.

i have been learning a year fubar mate and it will take time ... just keep at and search the threads loads of handy hints and tips there plus find janusz's videos (they should be made a sticky if not already note to mods or admin) they are helpful :)

Yeah I am learning Polish soon. I just ordered like a CD you learn like 2000 words, and a lot of phrases, and how to pronounce things properly. And after that I am just going to practice on here and with friends, and if I need to get a dictionary, and another CD or book. This may not be a bad idea for you if you are willing to spend the money. Try e-bay

I think it's always good to keep one around

i have two plus online slang dictionary ,,,, but you will find many words arent in the dictionaries

Polish is hard. I think it's categorized as one of the hardest languages to learn because of the 14 different cases. I'm trying to master it now and knowing russian has helped a lot. One thing that many people forget is that you have to make sure you know your alphabet and the pronunciations this way you won't misspell words and pronunciation will be a lot better. Seems like common sense but with older people it's kind of neglected. Also watch polish tv and listen to polish radio it will help. Then study of course !

Is it by far more difficult than French.

I think you have the wrong language
Polish has 7 cases: Nominative, Genitive, Accusative, Locative, Vocative, Instrumental and Dative
