How to learn Polish (and not go crazy)?
I know Polish is one of the most difficult languages of all, and I know you can feel a bit overwelmed when you start learning it. Don’t worry about it! Just take it one step at the time, don’t give up and try to surround yourself with the language. Listen to some Polish songs, watch a TV show or a movie in Polish (with the subtitles of course!), put some stickers on the things around you to memorise their names easier. And well… keep calm and continue! 😉
And in case you’re feeling down and you feel you’re kind of losing your motivation, I prepared some nice Polish motivating quotes to keep you going! So – in case of an emergency – you don’t have to break the glass, you can just take a look here, at the Polski Daily website! 🙂
