5.0 out of 5 stars Fun way to learn some basic Polish words, January 2, 2005

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Polish - Beginning Level [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

This program will teach you to read, write, and correctly speak some very basic Polish words and sentences. It's a great way to get excited about learning Polish. It is however quite basic. You will only learn about 300 words. But you will learn them very, very well. And you will speak them very, very well. The program allows users to listen as two native polish speakers say the same words and phrases. You can repeat these as often as you like. And you can record your own speach and replay it until your pronounciation is correct. You will learn basic words, colors, food items, phrases, numbers, how to tell time, names of body parts, names of things you may shop for, and polish names of various countries. As a bonus you can print out a very nice polish picture dictionary. To help reinforce your learning, there are many games that give you the opportunity to be challenged. These too are rather simple...but they are indeed fun. And finally...you do not need to understand english to use this program as a polish instructional tool, you can choose from 72 different host languages. In my opinion, Talk Now will teach you quicker and better than Pimsluer. When you are ready get the intermediate version of Euro Talk Polish called World Talk Polish. And forget Pimsluer, which is overpriced and over-rated. Same goes for Rosetta Stone and a few others. When you are ready for intermediate/advanced learning, then consider courses such as Colloquial Polish..etc.

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Polish - Beginning Level [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Ok, I bought about 4 CDS for polish an dthis was the best o all.....this CD was great because unlike "teach yourself Polish"...ALL the talk was in Polish with pictures and English written translation...so you could play it 500 times with NO WASTE at all since you'll keep hearing POlish so much much better than ';teach yourself polish " cd. it was also much better than polish immersion which was an insult.
I highly reccomend this CD

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Polish - Beginning Level [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

This CDROM is indepth and will you give a taste of the polish language. Learn the accent before traveling to Poland along with basic phrases and numbers. It took awhile for me to pick up on the language but will be a valuable tool for anyone looking into learning some Polish.
