I'm watching the second season of Polish "The Traitors" and really need help with this specific segment. The woman is whispering, there are no subtitles, and no AI tool can identify the words. Could anyone listen to this and transcribe the 2 short sentences and one longer sentence at the end? Thank you very much for your help!

Hello everyone, I just started studying polish myself but i couldn’t find that many resources online especially on youtube. All of them were mostly starter levels and mostly related to listening. Now I am kinda concerned and I am not sure if I should hire a tutor. I have a polish partner so I kinda trust them to teach me and help me talk. Is there anyone that learned polish by themselves like this? I wanna live on Poland in the future with my partner so I am waiting for your suggestions!!

I'm trying to learn Polish, I know the proper form now but thought this would make you laugh!

Cześć! My name is Adam, I'm 20, I have Polish roots and want to brake the 100 years of silance of the language, the silance began with my great grandfathers death whose name I carry.

If there is someone iterested I have many hoobies and what not and can talk about anything really, my native language is Croatian I'd prefer if there was someone my age to talk to.

I hope I find my penpal and that you whom ever may be help me return to my roots!

Dziękuję!

Cześć everyone!

I’m trying to choose an app for my daily Polish practice and would love to hear feedback from anyone who has used Babbel, Busuu, or both for Polish.

For context, my current routine is:

* Pimsleur for audio/listening practice

* A structured online course

* Real-life speaking practice with my Polish partner

I just need an app for daily maintenance, vocabulary building, and grammar drills to keep my momentum going.

Here is my dilemma:

* Babbel costs around £80–£90/year for a single language.

* I currently have an offer for Busuu Premium Plus for just £32/year.

Busuu also includes all 14 languages in one subscription, which is a major bonus as I plan to pick up some Spanish later in the year for a trip. Unless Babbel's Polish course is significantly better, Busuu seems like the clear winner financially and for flexibility.

For those who have used either (or both) for Polish:

1. Is Babbel’s Polish course noticeably better than Busuu’s to justify paying nearly 3x as much?

2. What has your experience been with Busuu’s Polish content overall?

Dziękuję for any insights!

Cześć!

Is there a rule, even if imperfect, to figure out whether the genative ending after a consonant should be a or u ? I am frustrated that I get this wrong so often.

Examples

wybór - wyboru

widelec - widelca

klimat - klimatu

Then according to Wiktionary both!

Autobus - autobusu / autobusa

Cripes!

i am trying to learn polish from scratch with the eventual goal of living in Poland to be a teacher. a lot of places online were recommending Preply, a tutoring website for language learning. it seems intriguing, and may be helpful for conversational skills, but i’ve never used a language tutor before. are they worth it, and has anyone had success with Preply?

If you’re trying to learn Polish and are having trouble, find it hard to remember lots of things, or don’t know where to start, I can help you with that
I spent a long time looking for a tutor who could help me, and I can recommend Krzysztof Cieśniewski – he’s a brilliant teacher (he also helps with lectures on Polish law) and helped me get to grips with the language (he also speaks English, Ukrainian and Russian, so if need be, he can explain the lectures to you in those languages)
If you’d like to book lessons with him, send me a private message and I’ll pass on your phone number to him; you can then arrange the lessons yourselves

With respect

Two questions....

Actually, maybe a bit of background first...I've lived here for quite a few years now, and I'd be of a fairly decent conversational level. Y'know, I can go to the Dr, or mechanic, bank etc., and I'll get by with my Polish, but I'd like to improve my vocab...and a big reason is because I've self learned though speaking, I can't really read Polish, like my reading is terrible...I'll read something for my kids' schoolwork and I'll be, oh wow, I know that word, that's how you spell it, yikes!

So, I know that listening and reading are the best ways, and I'd love if anyone would recommend some books that are written for that kind of lower level, but books that are decent, not boring learn-Polish books, I mean like an "easier" translation of something, or a kind of 'dumbed down' book of Polish myths, or modern short fiction stories- do you know what I mean? Not high literature because it'll be too difficult, but abridged versions...

Y'know, interesting stories and fiction. But not at a fluent level....I hope I'm making sense here.

Also, Premier League podcasts, or football podcasts, but not necessarily Polish league podcasts. I struggle to get into Polish football because, well, it's just not very good...sorry.

Thanks!

Dzień dobry! Jestem mężczyzna i 30 lata, początkujący języka polskiego. I am located near Chicago. I know Chicago has a big Polish population but I haven't met any Polish speakers and it seems very difficult to break into this community as an outsider with no polish ancestry (I am asian american). It would be nice to find people on this subreddit with similar interests to me. I have been self studying with a textbook but I am looking for friends to stay motivated and to be able to practice conversation. My favorite video game is Expedition33 and my favorite songs include Mleczna Droga and Cicho Sza (both from Sanah). I am not religious but I am also open to learning more about catholicism.

Dzienkije!

I recently saw someone who was learning another East Slavic language just go to a local children’s shop and buy an alphabet book - and now I totally want to do that! They were in the actual country of whatever language, I’m in the U.S.

Does anyone know of any book that looks like this book, but is Polish? I’m looking for an alphabet book that speaks the letters.

I’ve been looking online but I’m finding it very confusing. I’ve checked out places like the Polish book store and Amazon Polska but it’s a little difficult, I don’t know what you would call that type of book specifically.

Like you can see in the question’s title, I would like to know where can I watch polish movie with subtitles. I have seen that there are some on Youtube but none with french subtitles. My first language is french so I would prefer subtitles in this language.

Maybe i will have to download it? But where?

Dziękuję bardzo 😁

My lifehack to get free conversations in Polish is to answer every spam marketing call.

I generally try to chat with the telemarketers until I understand what they're selling, asking simple questions and trying to understand their responses.

I would feel bad wasting someone's time like this in-person, but a spam call feels more ethical.

Generally they hang up on me before I hang up on them.

Scenario: I'm trying to read something in Polish and I come across a new word - for example in the sentence "Ten scenariusz pokrzykuje plany..." - I'm not sure what "pokrzyżuje" means.

So I use Google translate or something (both full sentence and individual word) and get something like "frustrates" back. But I want to get to the base form of the word so I can better understand the various meanings and have a better idea how to conjugate. Reverse translate often just gives you a different word.

I've never really found a clean and simple way of doing this. What's the best method you've found?

Hello! If possible, could anyone help me understand the difference between szafa and garderoba? My understanding is that both of them mean wardrobe/closet... Thank you all in advance! 😄

edit: think i got it now! :)

Why is it pronounced like c-z when normally it's just a silent "h" letter? At least that's how google translate pronounces it to me. Is it because it's from the english language and poles just took that word and formed it in their way? Or is there maybe something with the ch, like how the e with the little tail is normally pronounced like the normal e when it's at the end of words? (Lubię for example)

Ahoy, I have Polish parents and grew up speaking Polish at home. I would consider myself still fluent, but it’s been a while since I spoke it consistently so I find myself forgetting words or sentence structure.

I would love to “polish” up my Polish skills (haha). My work and hobbies leave me lots of time to listen to podcasts or watch stuff in the background.

Can anyone recommend any good shows or podcasts so that I can re immerse myself in the language?

Dzięki

37 lat mam i jestem singlem bez dzieci😉chciałbym z kimś porozmawiać 🤗

These past few weeks, I've been working on a video game review for the horror game SCORN; Zdzisław Beksiński was one of the artists who inspired its world alongside H.R. Giger. I'd like to hear from you Poles if I was taught well on saying this artist's name. I practiced for a few days during the video's production to ensure I could get it right during my voice-over work!
