I like grammar because of the way I am learning Polish. I don’t get too bogged down in it but it is often the only way help to to understand how a sentence or word has been constructed. It won’t be everyone’s “cup of tea” but it helps the obsessional side of my personality.

I think the more inputs one has the better. Listening, speaking, reading and writing all have their part to play and with reading then the more different books one reads the better because they all seem to come at the same things but from different angles.

The internet has vast free resources and Google Translator has improved out of all recognition; not perfect of course but very useful.

Anna, thank you for great posts! Actually I would like to ask you two questions. What is the difference between PROSIC (v) – POPROSIC (v)and POMOC (v) – POMAGAC (v)?
Thank you!

Anna, thank you for great posts! I’m not a professional linguist but try to learn some languages, as well as teach Polish to those who ask me about help, since I’m native Polish speaker.
I would like to ask you about two things, which I found difficult to explain to my ‘student’.

1. What is the difference between verbs: PROSIC – POPROSIC. I know in some cases you just don’t use the second one, but is there any rule of it???

2. Similar question in refer to verbs POMOC – POMAGAC.

Thank you!!

I am just starting out learning Polish. I am a Rosetta Stone student of sorts… got my hands on the version 2 material and then took a chance and bought the new (version 3) courses. Their grammar lessons are extremely basic. There’s no explanation, just the situation w/ pictures and the sometimes-highlighted-in-blue word. Perhaps this is good for those just starting out. I have no idea whether it’s been worth the $550 for all three levels. Nevertheless, it has been good practice for practicing reading, listening, writing, and speaking.

My girlfriend and landlord’s wife is Polish and so I practice with them.
