Polish Language Program Objective

The Boston Language Institute, New England’s leading language school, offers Polish language courses to individuals and companies. The quality of instruction provided in our Polish language classes are on a par with the best native Polish language school.

We consider it to be the major goal of our program to have you use Polish in as large a variety of real-life situations as possible. To that end, our Polish courses have been designed to build fluency in both the spoken and the written language. Communication in a warm and relaxed environment is an important feature of our programs, as is homework, which includes exercises for review and practice of the material taught in class. Moreover, by keeping the class size limited to twelve students, we ensure that each student will be able to actively participate.

Polish Level 1
Introduces both the spoken and written language and aims to provide students with the vocabulary and skills needed to conduct simple conversations and read and brief texts. Comprehension and expressive use of this inflected language requires an understanding of its basic grammar which is introduced through the study of several noun cases as well as past, present and future verb tenses. Structured classroom activities are designed to give students practical skills for immediate use and as a foundation for further study.

Polish Level 2
This course reinforces and expands upon the skills introduced in Level One and aims to provide students with a more sophisticated command of the language. Students are exposed to short newspaper and magazine articles that they learn to read with the help of a dictionary and that serve as a basis for conversational activities. Information about Polish culture is also presented to enhance student appreciation and use of the language. As their vocabulary expands, students begin to engage in more complex conversations on a range of everyday topics.

Text and Supplementary Materials

Since communication in a foreign language requires an understanding of the cultural context, our aim is to teach you the living language through carefully selected textbooks, newspaper and magazine articles and other relevant materials, rather than have you repeat and memorize tourist phrases.

Our teachers usually provide suggestions for texts and supplementary materials before the beginning of a program, both group and private.  Also, our on-line bookstore specializing in foreign language textbooks, study guides and audiocassettes.
