First-Year Polish - Pierwszy rok języka polskiego

First-Year Polish is a thoroughly rewritten and revised version of the book formerly bearing this title. This book is suitable for students with no previous knowledge of Polish or any foreign language. It is also appropriate for students with a certain knowledge of Polish from home or from living in Poland, or for students with a knowledge of a Slavic language other than Polish. Orientation is almost exclusively conversational. A firm foundation in the spoken language is the best approach to later contact with the print-based language. Lessons are based on an initial presentation of important words, phrases, and topics in the form of brief, memorizable dialogues, reflecting standard educated colloquial Polish. The conversational material is followed by short model sentences based on the conversations, by questions for written and oral practice, possibly by cultural notes, by grammatical commentary, and then by a set of exercises, suitable for both oral or written work.
