GLOSSA’s Intensive Polish course offers 20 lessons per week of fast-paced and proactive learning, and can be taken either in one of their standard-size groups or a mini group - depending on your preferences. You can expect to develop the fundamental areas of learning a second language, which are speaking, listening, reading and writing. The school believes that grammar should never be taught in an isolated fashion, and this means that grammar will always be presented in context and in an easy-to-understand way.
Fun games and linguistic exercises are used to ensure that you have a great time at the same time as developing your Polish skills. All students will be able to access the school’s online learning material, intended to complement the lessons that take place in the classroom.
Special note for 2023 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2023 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2022 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2023 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
