Polish in 4 Weeks CD-ROM

♂

Apr 7, 10, 19:18 #1

Hi all,

I just bought the Polish in 4 Weeks today in Warsaw, sealed package and all. I didn't even bend the book to check, I just assumed the CD was inside. Turns out when I got home there is no CD. I will go back to the bookstore tomorrow and complain/whine, but it was their last copy.

Any chance anyone has the .mp3 files ripped and can share them? I was just going to rip the CD to put it on my ipod anyway.

Thanks!

I don't know much about how iTunes works . . . you can't export or send/etc. selected files from iTunes, can you?

zlotytarasy: you can't export or send/etc. selected files from iTunes, can you? I think you can- I did it via Skype a long time ago. Just checked, I don't have it anymore on Itunes and the CD were stolen by my former student:((((((((((( Sorry.

Hi again . . . By some magic of searching and poking around on the internet, I found it. Actually really surprising. No, I don't feel the least bit guilty about downloading because I paid for the book. Cheers all! K

zlotytarasy: No, I don't feel the least bit guilty about downloading because I paid for the book. Exactly....!!! When i bought the book, i got the CD with it and you do need it. All the best with the learning...i do think that book is one of the best out there. Though, learning it is 4 weeks, is a BIT of an exageration!!!!!

Thanks for the good wishes :).

I don't plan on learning in 4 weeks, that's forsure. I'm actually starting my next Polish course with real live students and teachers next week, but it's nice to have a small reference for train trips, idle moments, reading in the bathroom, whatever! Doing a little research, it turns out that there are LOTS of intro/basic Polish texts out there. I picked this one from some recommendations and hope I can learn something from it.

I stumbled upon a PDF file called "Polish Grammar in a Nutshell". It's 95 pages long :P

spieretti: It's 95 pages long 95 pages? So, it's more like "A short introduction to an even shorter introduction to Polish grammar in a nutshell - part 1 of 12" ;)

There is a new book by swan that is out. Its basically Polish Grammar in a Nutshell in book form.

Polish in 4 Weeks is a decent start, but it's pretty weak on Polish grammar. Get a copy of 301 Polish verbs by Lara Janecki. Priceless. Also Hurrah po polsku 1. It's also got a CD, but it's entirely in Pollish, which is a good thing if you're serious about learning.

Actually have Hurrah! already . . . I like it. If I see a copy of 301 verbs someplace I'll pick it up. Now the trick is reading them :)
