1.0 out of 5 stars This is no way to learn a foreign language, August 10, 2005
The problem with this CD & book combo is that it teaches you Polish as if you already know it - and know it very WELL. Polish is a language that many of us don't know at all - I mean, not even one word - and this CD moves right into it without those important first steps (slow pronunciation, breaking down the word little by little, explaining the meaning of the words, etc). When I'm learning a foreign language, I like the "Sesame Street" approach - you know- A-Pul - APPLE!) so that I get the pronunciation right and know what I'm saying. I would not go with this course. A better one would be Pimsleur Polish (the one with the 8 CD's and word booklet) because it's easy to follow and you don't need to stop and start your CD every two seconds to replay the section. Teach Yourself Polish only taught me how to pull my hair out in frustration. I say, skip it.

5.0 out of 5 stars easy-to-read modern book on Polish for beginners, January 20, 1999
By A Customer
This book is clearly written, and easy to understand. Instead of overwhelming you with huge amounts of grammar to MEMORIZE, it takes a more conversational approach, and explains cases and conjugations as they come up. The chapters are short enough and varying. If you haven't already noticed, there are few decent books on Polish. This is a beginner course, but I am pleased with it so far.

3.0 out of 5 stars Loud tape hiss on CDs, September 24, 2004
By lingvistika (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
Apparently, when coming out with the new edition, the publisher spent the money to redesign the graphics of the book, but transferred the taped material to CD, without going through the very simple step of cleaning up the audio. The result is CDs that contain loud, annoying tape hiss. What a stupid move.
