I hadn’t much time to learn Polish language, which I had to year ago and I was really desperate what should I do. Then I found school (if anybody’s interested, it was this one: http://www.polishcourses.com ) and my job went quite well. They have intensive (or even superintensive) programs and course lasts f.e. a month and that’s all you need to start speaking. Native speakers are very helpful and have a lot of knowledge and also great strategies. What I also really enjoyed was trips around Poland. It’s a beautiful country. So I did what I need to do and also had wonderful adventure.
