Overall, considering myself a beginner-intermediate level speaker, this program lends itself to learning Polish at a good pace. However, I'm experiencing software glitches with the Alphabet section. When clicking on some of the letters, it seems to hiccup and not translate right away. Some letters it works normal, but others it's frustrating. If it worked properly, this software would have received a 4-star.

I spoke several foreign languages( Spanish, Italian, German) before picking up Polish Now and I must say this is a great way to learn a new language. Every other language I learned was in a classroom setting but Polish Now changed this. Everything I needed was in one program and it was very sucessful at teaching the basics. The games and other activities provided for hours upon hours of needed practice. The amount of practice and learning that can be done through this program is immense and very interactive. I was able to learn the basics of Polish and many situational phrases very easily. From there the program lead me into the more advanced areas of learning the Polish Language and did so quite sucessfully. I would recomend this program to anyone who wanted to try and learn another language.

This software teaches Polish really well. I really enjoyed all the review/practice games. The audio and video features are superb. This product is excellent at what it does and I love it. My recomendation is to look here to start learning Polish.

This is just bad. That says it all. It throws you into a shark tank, with EVERYTHING being in Polish, from beginning to end. The only thing I was able to absorb was the Polish alphabet. Even learning the alphabet took me days. The book is a much better way to go when learning a language. This is too fast paced, spoken too quickly, and absolutely no good for beginners. Only people who know an intermediate amount of Polish will find this good.

Pros:
Easy to learn alphabet, with practice

Cons:
Too fast paced
Everything written in Polish from start to end
No Polish/English dictionary
NO GOOD GRAMMAR HELP (biggest problem)
Speakers talk to fast, making much of the talks sound like jibberish, especially if you are new to the Polish tongue

Overall, just plain BAD. Transparent Language's way to approach language learning just doesn't work. The book is a much better method. Just take a class with the book and it will be MUCH easier and less stressful to learn another language. And if you choose to use computer software, DO NOT use Transparent Language products.

I was extremely impressed with what Polish Now had to offer in the means of content. Thousands of useful vocabulary and phrases which are taught through many ways such as games, dictation ect. I really liked the feature that allows you to slow the speaking of a word down so you can really hear the correct pronunciation well. The grammar tutorial that is included is very helpful. To me it seems like Transparent Language covered every aspect needed to learn and advance my ability to speak Polish. This program also makes great use of video and audio to help forward your learning. When all is said and done this software is well worth the buy.

This product by Transparent Language excels in teaching Polish. I would recomend this program for many reasons. First of all they use many methods to teach such as games, conversation practices, and reading/speaking in Polish, ect. Secondly, they give you the tools to learn the basics of Polish such as a Grammar tutorial, alphabet reference, word dictation, ect. Another thing about Polish Now that I really appreciated was the vast amount of content(meaning language) that was in the final product. There were practice conversations for many situations and you could hear every Polish word said in the program. Finally, the depth of the program's features are truely amazing. It goes as far as allowing you to compare your pronunciation of words to the pronunciation of a native speaker's words. Transparent Language did an excellent job with this product and I highly recomend it to anyone looking to learn Polish.
