Polish Classes for Slavic Speakers
Progress faster in Polish with a teacher who understands the links between your language and ours. 🚀
If your native language is Ukrainian, Belarusian, Russian, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Slovenian or Serbian — this course is for you.
You’ll move quicker, avoid “false confidence”, and build correct Polish from day one.
На курсе польского для носителей славянских языков (украинский, русский, беларусский) занятия проходят на польском языке, чтобы вы могли привыкнуть к польской речи и чувствовать себя всё увереннее. Однако при необходимости преподаватель также может использовать русский и английский языки.
Why a Slavic-Speaker Group?
Slavic learners progress faster in Polish — but they also face unique challenges:
You’ll learn Polish quicker because:
• many words feel familiar
• grammar patterns often align
• pronunciation comes naturally
…but you can also get stuck because:
• the languages feel too similar
• you “fill in the gaps” by using your language
• mistakes become automatic if nobody catches them
This course solves that.
Veronika knows exactly where Slavic speakers struggle - and how to guide you so you build correct habits instead of reinforcing your errors.

We start with more English, especially at A0, then shift into Polish as soon as you're ready for it. Your teacher will always be able to support you in English when it genuinely helps, but the goal is to teach as much as possible in Polish, when you don’t need English anymore.
