Instead of an introduction

pStarting from the first lesson, the textbook Polski raz a dobrze introduces simple and useful syntactic structures of the Polish language. The problems contained within the textbook are progressively developed in terms of morphology, inflections, as well as the vocabulary of modern Polish. Basic information concerning functional grammar and vocabulary is given in the sections HOW DOES IT WORK? The large amount of practical information provided should help the student quickly assimilate useful vocabulary and an understanding of the function of cases, as well as accustom the student to Polish syntax.

In order to create one’s “own” answer, or “own” question, it is enough to memorize the sample sentences or fragments of sentences, as well as the short explanations.

In the textbook dictionaries, lists, and tables not only is vocabulary provided, but also verb syntactic combinations, contextual aspect pairs, syntactic constructions, and expressions.

The student will find in the 25 textbook dialogues real Polish adapted to the grammatical demands of the Polish language. The first 10 dialogues act as a linguistic bridge that eases the passage to the latter and more demanding dialogues that follow in the goal of attaining grammatical competence. Attaining other competencies should occur with the systematic repetition of the dialogues, the solving of the exercises, and using the answers found in the exercise keys. It’s also recommended using the various syntactic constructions contained within the explanatory sections.

Most of the exercises contained within Polski raz a dobrze are creative exercises. They were conceived so as to aid students in the writing of the answers (words, grammatical forms, expressions) resulting from the context.

The entire textbook is intended for those studying Polish at the elementary level A1, A2, B1. The scope of the grammatical and lexical material also covers the demands for later stages of the elementary level.
