  • "Very good" simply does not do Polilang justice: I cannot recommend this language school highly enough. I have been attending one-to-one lessons with Ola for over a year now and I can say that, without any shadow of a doubt, she is the best Polish teacher I have ever had - in the UK and Poland! I recently sat one of the Polish government's new language exams in Warsaw and was delighted to achieve the top grade. This was in no small part down to Polilang's commitment to ensuring my success coupled with my teacher's incredible ability to prepare me throroughly for almost every eventuality. Ola is passionate about teaching and this shines through. Every single one of my lessons has been enjoyable; they are always pitched exactly at the right level and the teaching methods are fun and innovative (yes - the advanced students get to play games too! ;-) I cannot wait to start my lessons again in the New Year. Polilang also offer a number of group classes tailored to suit all levels, which focus on the Polish culture as much as on the language itself. Give Polilang a try whatever your reason for learning Polish: nie pozalujesz (= you won't regret it!! ;-))

  • It's not easy to find well taught Polish classes that are pitched at the right level and are value for money. This is certainly all of those. Standard of teaching is very good, as is the service and the environment.
