Welcome to Polish From Scratch
This site is built on one core idea: understanding comes from exposure.
- 146 daily lessons
- A1 to C2 levels
- English translations
- No sign-up
Inspired by input-based methods like Antimoon, AJATT, and the ALG method, this free course helps you learn Polish by reading and listening to natural conversations, not by memorizing grammar or drilling vocabulary.
There's no speaking requirement, no grammar explanations, and no need to search for materials. Everything is here: a short conversation for every day with its English translation and simple guidance, so you can learn Polish naturally and for free. Audio recordings of the lessons are on the way.
The conversations sound like Polish as people really speak it, with the right way of addressing each person, a friendly ty or a polite pan and pani: friends and couples, families and coworkers, shopkeepers and strangers, women and men, children and grandparents.
Just follow the lessons, day by day, and let your understanding grow.
Getting Started
- Before anything else, read the How to Use page. It explains how to get the most from this course.
- Take a few minutes with the sounds of Polish first. Polish spelling is regular, so once you know how the letters sound, you can read every lesson aloud.
- Start with Day 1: read the dialogue and its translation, without worrying about understanding everything right away.
- Revisit lessons whenever you like. Repetition is natural and helpful.
- You learn best through input: by reading, listening, and absorbing language in context.
- You want to build understanding before worrying about speaking.
For more details on how to get the most out of the course, see the How to Use page.
