Quest: Best way to learn Polish quickly - give your view!

Hi Paco,

I think that the best idea is to meet natives and try to talk Polish as often as you can. I did it in US and I have to tell you it helped a lot. I was meeting with my neighbors everyday and we talked about everything - from politics to dog's food. This way you will learn new vocabulary and you always can ask if your pronunciation is good etc.  I also attended some ESL classes which were not expensive. I know there are some courses for foreigners here in Warsaw, because my Italian friend attended them and made a lot of friends.

Thanks Katie!

I already know that though - but it is a very good thing!
Talk as much as you can, at EVERY opportunity.
Another tip from me is to meet NEW people, and get emotionally involved with them = be positive and friendly.
Why? Because emotion is motivation. And they have something that you don't - language skill!
My personal issue is that I usually don't sacrifice interest or personality to 'whoever'.
I need to meet people who are alike me in energy, and outlook on life (no big news daah!), and who are reasonably intelligent and of higher class (because I am both).
Otherwise... I don't have emotion, and I sure don't have motivation.

Motivation AND discipline are KEY to any learning activity.

But as said: My strategy right now is to constantly improve the vocabulary, SPEAK to people, do grammatical exercises.

I am also having a goal to write a book on Learning Polish - because there is a lot to improve on this field.
Anyone interested in collaboration may contact me!!!

So, next poster please!

It is a VERY good idea to be specific when you post.

(The forum is not soo active but I have some hope!)
