Hey everyone! 👋
Welcome to our Hireqapp Society Language Corner! 🗣️
If you’re learning Polish — or just thinking about starting — this post is for you. Whether you’re here in Poland for work or just want to connect better with the locals, learning even a little Polish can make a huge difference. Let’s get started!
🌍 Why Learn Polish?
Polish isn’t just a language — it’s a gateway to Polish culture, humor, and everyday life. 🫶
Speaking Polish helps you build stronger connections, understand traditions, and feel more at home.
From a practical point of view?
🇵🇱 Knowing Polish is a big plus in the job market, especially if you’re working or planning to work in Poland. More and more international companies are based here — Polish can be your secret weapon!
🧠 Smart, Easy Ways to Learn Polish
1. Be consistent
15 minutes every day is better than 3 hours once a week. Make it a daily habit — morning coffee, lunch break, or before bed. Add it to your calendar like an important meeting (because it is one!).
2. Learn through context
Forget just memorizing grammar!
🎬 Watch Polish series (start with subtitles, then try without). Try: Miodowe Lata, Świat według Kiepskich.
🎧 Listen to Polish music – Sanah, Dawid Podsiadło, Czesław Niemen – sing in the shower, look up lyrics.
🎙️ Podcasts – start with easy ones for learners, then explore real ones based on your interests.
🧠 Try thinking in Polish: “Idę do sklepu”, “Jest zimno” – it feels weird at first but really helps!
3. Use tech tools
They’re your best friends!
📱 Duolingo, Memrise, Babbel, Anki, Forvo – mix and match what works best for you.
4. Speak with native Polish speakers
This changes everything!
💬 Use apps like Tandem, HelloTalk.
📞 Try iTalki or Preply for private lessons.
💡 If you’re in Poland, speak with locals in shops, hostels, or community events. Most Poles are patient and happy to help!
5. Old-school still works!
📝 Keep a notebook.
Write down phrases, mini-stories, or even silly sentences.
Practice reading out loud — it’s great for pronunciation.
