About Polilang - Polish Language Centre London

How many dishes for Christmas Eve dinner?
How many kisses on cheeks when greeting Polish friends and family?
What did I do wrong when complimenting on her dress/his tie?

We are the only school answering these questions.

When teaching Polish language we do not forget to teach Polish culture.

This is our solemn vow to our students:

1We will focus on everyday Polish to allow you to communicate with your friends, family or partner.

2We will prepare you for a visit to Poland (communication and culture aspects).

3We will ensure that you learn in a relaxed atmosphere and in a friendly environment led by experienced creative and fun-loving teachers.

4We will let you decide what you want to learn and give advice on what you should know.

5We will not bore you with nuances of Polish grammar but let you speak and listen in order to communicate efficiently.

6We will improve your pronunciation during classes and on professional workshops.

7We will ask you to practice grammar at home and ask your partner/friend to work on vocabulary with you (it's much easier once you get support).

8We will tailor the teaching methods to your needs and advise you how to learn.

9We will lead you through your entire journey with Polish.

10We will inform you of Polish cultural events.

We are all native Polish speakers with MA in Polish Language, Culture & Literature and extensive teaching experience.

Bearing in mind our own experience of learning languages we will not make you read long texts and write essays during classes but we will involve you in role playing and games.

We use genuine Polish course books. Texts and dialogues we introduce are Polish in every sense (so no literal translations) which means you will not hear - "this is not Polish way to say that" when talking to native speakers.

We know that the course book cannot utterly cover the colloquial - so in fact real-life Polish. Therefore we are the only school putting into practice the saying:

When in Rome do as Romans do

- which means that we introduce cultural awareness and colloquial expressions.

We are convinced that the less theory you have to learn, the more you learn. The less you think about how difficult it is, the easier it comes to you.

So we will make you forget you are on a language course, because it is nothing like it.
