Who wants a Linguaphone Polish Course...?

In the past there has been much discussion on PF about the best Polish language courses and on what is available.
I think that the old Linguaphone courses are amongst the best, tough to come by.

I haven't seen one available anywhere for a while.
Currently there are two on offer on ebay!

...worth a look for any English speaker who's serious about learning Polish...

What's so special about Linguaphone?

The courses are very well put together and include comprehensive sounds recordings - the idea being that you learn to speak with a correct accent from the start and soak up the language then as you go along...

... that's the theory anyway!

does anyone actually use tapes nowadays... isnt that a little 20th century?

nah i use cd's and mp3's me ..

I can be a Linguaphone haha
for free

my skype id wyspianka :D

How much do they cost? I think that tapes are still the best. If you listen to language courses with CD disks the sounds often jump.

I bought a PL Linguaphone a while back and transferred the tapes into mp3 format

Some linguaphone course are better than others but the original Polish one was supposed to be very good indeed.

I heard Rosetta stone was good? Has anyone used it for polish?

Rosetta stone courses are very expensive. Etot kurs oczen dorogo stoji!

Yeah but you can always download it as a torrent :O) isohunt.com/torrents.php?ihq=the+rosetta+stone

What is a torrent?

Google it and learn!!

omg haha

Jak twoja znajomość języka angielskiego jest kiepska, kim jesteś się zaśmiechać?

My English seems to be better than your Polish babe.

Jesus Mick, how can you criticize someone on their English, that's so not cool!!!

Let him critize I don't give a shyt. But at least he should show some skills... What did even "kim jestes sie zasmiechac" suppose to mean hah pretty sad

plus I'm 19, was learning on my own. Do you know what it means? That I'm far more intelligent that you ever would be. Shake it babe yeaa :D

Hugo's How To Learn Polish In 3 Months, perhaps?

M-G (didn't do the trick for me when I tried it, anyway)

Bardzo to wątpię! However, I do agree with the fact that you are more intelligent than I am. In fact, I am prepared to accept the fact that anybody is more cleverer than what I am!

example of your brilliant Polish:



ha ha michal are you kiddng? whats that creature above that you wrote? what is zaśmiechać? you gonna say again that youre right cos you had an A in Polish? geez, wake up, your Polish is not good at all, it might be conversational (up to some point), but not fluent. GET OVER YOURSELF.

LOL, I think that Michal is just pulling your strings girls, and you fall for that :)

well, he either really likes to 'pull strings' so much that he lost himself in doing it cos its so much fun and its all he ever does, or he seriously thinks he's a genius and speaks better Polish than the natives do. wanna take a vote on that? lol

I do that loads of times and Shelley keeps on falling for it

M-G (hehehe)

It's basically files sharing with a bittorrent client. If you have a bittorrent client, it will transfer whatever files to you from many sources. It's pretty decent I'd say.

yeah my boyfriend downloaded all of them so I have most of them at my disposal just didn't know if they were worth the time. When I was younger I tried russian with the rosetta stone and it totally skipped the basics. But I'll be damned I'll never forget what a malchek is haha.
