Berlin - a good place to learn Polish
The smaller the group, the greater the personal learning success. Therefore, your Polish course will have a maximum of six participants. If even this is too big for you, you can learn Polish in a mini-group or have individual (one-to-one) tuition.
The quality of any Polish course depends completely on the competence of the teacher. It's for this reason that all of our teachers are native Polish speakers. They have all amassed considerable teaching experience in the field of adult education.
We base our Polish tuition on the four core competencies: speaking and listening comprehension, reading and writing. Conversation during the course, role-plays and group discussions all play their parts in improving language structures, broadening vocabulary and enhancing accuracy of expression.

The Polish Language - A brief History
Polish (język polski, polszczyzna) belongs to the Lechish group of West Slavic languages, a subset of the Indo-European languages. Polish is closely related to Kashubian, Czech, Slovakian and Sorbian (which is still spoken by a minority group in Germany).
Polish is the official language of Poland. As well as the 38 million speakers living in Poland, there are around eight million speakers outside Poland. There are substantial Polish minorities in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and the USA, as well as areas of the former Soviet union, Canada, Germany and France.
The oldest known written examples of Polish are names and margin notes found on Pope Innocent II's Bull of Gniezno (July 7, 1136), which contains details of almost 400 Polish place and personal names. Until the sixteenth century, Polish was mainly used as a written language by clerics and clergy. Later it spread amongst the aristocracy and middle classes.
Modern Polish developed from the sixteenth century onwards upon the base of spoken dialects in the region around Poznan in the west of Poland. Polish has loan words from Old Czech, Yiddish, German, Latin and, more recently, from Ukrainian, Russian, French and English.
