This review is from: Teach Yourself Polish Conversation (3CDs + Guide) (Teach Yourself Conversation) (Audio CD)

What's good about this course? Over 3 and 1 half hours of recorded material.
What's bad? At least half of the recording is in English.There is no way to effectively eliminate this: i.e., no way to repeat the Polish without listening to the English. This a chronic problem with Teach Yourself language courses. In the "complete" courses, one must listen to someone reading, in English, something that is printed in the text. Do they think we can't read? Why not give recordings entirely in the "target language"? Teach Yourself should improve their format. I found this product too irritating to use.
