Polish is more complex Jul 10, 2008
This is a very basic course to say a few phrases in Polish to show an attempt to speak a highly inflexed language (nouns are declined verbs are conjugated). They change a lot. The course does not clarify, if I am using the familiar form of a phrase or the formal form of a phrase. Europeans do take the "familiar form" offensive until they give you permission to use this form. Also there are both a male and a female form for the past tense which the Booklet does not explain this usuage by putting (m) or(f)after the phrase. I have used other editions of In-Flight languages, they need to arrange words and phrases at the beginning to be shorter and native speakers to be slower.

 Disappointed May 27, 2002
The CD contains all the information that is stated on the cover. But the structure of the content is difficult to use. Things are repeated but not directly after they have been said and there are no pauses to allow you to reapeat the words or phrases e.g.One, two, three, four One, two, three, four Rather than One, pause, one, pause
Two, pause, two, pause Although it is not ideal I have used the CD and I am now able to mumble a few words of Polish. So the produces of the CD could argue that it did what it was designed to do.

 AWEFUL! Apr 27, 2002
I am going to Poland and thought something like this would be easy to review before I left. The CD is absolutely aweful. They simply say a few words each lesson (no breaking them down or anything like that) and then say you are done. I didn't learn anything. Polish is difficult to pronounce, and just saying a few words DOES NOT CUT IT!
