Polish for beginners – A1

How do we teach Polish to beginners?

Whether you already know a few words in Polish or you’re just starting and have no idea how to pronounce “szcz,” our online Polish lessons for beginners will make learning easy and enjoyable. Even if you’re not familiar with the Polish alphabet, don’t worry – we introduce everything gradually, in a simple and understandable way. Thanks to our method, you’ll immerse yourself in the Polish language naturally, step by step, until you start speaking and understanding more than you expect. Throughout the entire learning process, you have direct contact with the teacher, who continuously corrects your mistakes and supports you in your learning. We regularly revisit previously learned material to reinforce new vocabulary and grammar structures in a practical way.

We speak Polish from the very first lesson.

The most important thing for us is speaking – from the very first lesson, we encourage you to engage in active communication. Every online Polish lesson is an opportunity to talk, role-play, and practice what you’re learning in real-life situations. We work with a textbook that provides a solid foundation, but we don’t limit ourselves to it – we enrich lessons with interactive exercises, original materials, and engaging live conversations. This way, theory immediately turns into practice, and you start speaking Polish quickly.

You can trust us 😊 – we have been teaching Polish for 20 years and we know how to do it effectively. We specialize exclusively in teaching this language, so we perfectly understand the needs of learners. Do you want to learn more about us :)? Join us here!

Polish A1 online – before you start the course

In our school, the beginner level A1 is divided into three stages: A1.1, A1.2, and A1.3, which allows for smooth and effective language acquisition. This allows you to learn Polish at your own pace, gradually gaining confidence in speaking and understanding the language.

If you’re just starting to learn Polish, A1.1 will be the best choice for you. However, if you already know some basic phrases and don’t want to start from scratch, take our online placement test. and schedule a short conversation (you can do this in person or online). Based on this, we will assess your level of Polish and place you in the appropriate group.

No matter what stage you’re at in your learning, you can be sure that our online Polish lessons are dynamic, interactive, and focused on communication. It’s a modern and effective way to learn Polish – no matter where you live.

What books are recommended for learning Polish for beginners?

Textbooks for the A1 Polish course.

In the A1 course we use the well-known textbook “Hurra!!! Po polsku 1”, which was created for people who are just starting to learn. Step by step, you learn new vocabulary, grammar rules and useful phrases in the context of everyday situations, thanks to which learning becomes natural and practical.

Our online Polish courses for beginners are much more than just working with a book. We diversify lessons with interactive tasks, language games, additional audiovisual materials and authentic dialogues that help you better understand and remember new material. From the very beginning, we focus on speaking, so from the very first class you actively use the Polish language in practical exercises.

With online classes you can learn Polish from anywhere in the world, using modern methods and the support of our experienced teachers. It’s a convenient, effective and engaging way to gain new skills.

Polish courses online - meetings with people from all over the world

The charm of Varia is its people

In our online Polish courses you will meet people from all over the world – each with a different story, but with the same goal: to learn Polish and better understand the culture. Learning together, having interactive classes and talking in small groups means you can quickly make new friends, share experiences and learn about the perspectives of people from different countries. It is not only a language journey, but also an opportunity to discover new cultures, traditions and ways of thinking. And who knows? Maybe these meetings will turn into true friendships that will last longer than the course itself!

What will you gain after completing the A1 online Polish course?

More than you think!

After completing the basic level, you will be able to find your way around everyday conversations with ease. You will be able to:

✅ Introduce yourself, tell about yourself, your family, work and passions.

✅ Understand short texts and basic information.
✅ Build correct sentences in the present tense, as well as talk about the past and future at a basic level.

Which online Polish course is best for you?

We will help you choose!

Choosing the right Polish course for beginners A1 depends on your schedule and preferences. Here is a quick summary of our suggestions:

Semester-long online Polish course:

  • Frequency of classes: Twice a week, 90 minutes each.
  • Dates: Morning or evening hours, adapted to different time zones.
  • Duration: Four months.

Weekend Polish course online:

  • Frequency of classes: Once a week, on Saturdays, 4 x 45 minutes with a 15-minute break.
  • Dates: Morning hours, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

Are you looking for a course that is tailored to your pace and needs? Perhaps individual lessons would be the best solution for you? You decide on the schedule of classes, and we adapt the material to your level, goals, and interests.

Whether you dream of a quick retort to your future mother-in-law, a casual chat with a colleague at work, or you want to finally understand what the lady at the grocery store is saying to you – individual online Polish lessons will be the answer to your needs. Maybe you want to order bigos like a pro, avoid language mishaps on a date, or simply not feel like an alien among Poles.? Whatever motivates you – we will tailor classes to your needs and make learning Polish online a pure pleasure ! Whether you want to focus on conversation, grammar or exam preparation, our experienced teachers will make sure your learning is effective and motivating.
