Description

Start with cześć. Build the Polish you can use every day.

Introduce yourself, order a coffee, make a simple plan and write your first personal messages in Polish.

Polish for Beginners is a practical A1 reading, writing and grammar workbook for English-speaking adults starting from scratch. Clear English explanations, worked examples and purposeful exercises help you understand each new pattern before using it yourself.

Across 12 carefully paced units, you’ll practise the language of everyday life: greetings, personal information, family, routines, time, food, shopping, home, directions, transport, interests, requests for help and travel.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A clear introduction to the 32-letter Polish alphabet, pronunciation and spelling, including marked letters such as ą, ę, ł, ś and ź.

• Useful vocabulary with English translations and noun gender, helping you learn words with the information you need to use them.

• Accessible explanations of present-tense verbs, adjective agreement, polite forms of address and foundational case usage, introduced through meaningful examples.

• Short dialogues and everyday readings that connect grammar and vocabulary with situations you can recognise.

• Varied writing practice, from spelling and sentence completion to building your own sentences and writing about your life.

• Four cumulative checkpoints and final practical tasks that bring earlier learning together.

• A complete answer key for closed exercises, plus clearly labelled sample answers for personal and open-ended writing tasks.

Learn a pattern. Try it yourself. Check your answer. Return to it with greater confidence.

Designed for independent study or use alongside lessons, this workbook gives you a clear starting point and room to make the language your own. Its clean illustrated pages, full-page colour unit openings and comfortable A5 format make regular practice easy to return to.

Whether you’re connecting with Polish-speaking family, preparing for travel or beginning a new learning goal, start with useful words and build towards conversations of your own.
