Bildungsurlaub Polish Course

The classes were a little unorganized. The topics were all over the place, which caused a lot of chaos in class. The school did not have information about how long everyone booked the course and on which level.
The school location was pretty good and central in Sopot.
In general I learned a lot, but it was not organized enough to take useful notes. However the group size was pretty good.

I attended a two-week intensive course in Polish. I started with virtually no prior knowledge and completed the course at language level A1.
What I particularly liked was that our teacher had very good pronunciation. This made it quite easy to follow the lessons, even though Polish is one of the more difficult languages to learn.

What I liked: classes were full of new information, interesting. Man had to use polish language with other students as everyone was from different country. Teachers were very proffessional, friendly, fun - I cannot say anything bad about them. They taught us history as well as practical information. It was very good.School had coffemaker, tea - it felt like being at home. Sopot is a great place to stay and experience. School is near hte beach on a famous street.

What I disliked: nothing

Without any formal language education of Polish I joined two other participants (only !) to improve my skills. Together with family atmosphere of the school my skills were boosted dramatically. It would be pitty not to continue so I have decided to go to a regular long term course in my location. Thank you.

The school was very professional and the teachers were very good and friendly, I am happy with my decision to go to this school. Sopot is also a nice city with a lot to do.

Nice people, good teachers, and a very nice location. I felt very well taken care of and I would very much recommend this school. In addition teachers and staff also helped with extracurricular matters.

It was a very professional school and my teacher was great, I did learn so much on my two weeks course. There was a lot of grammar and the teacher always had a topic for the day. I like that the classes were small, we were only 3 students in my group. The location for the school was great, I have nothing to complain at regarding location and building. (The toilet were quite noising though). I didn’t go for any of the activities so I’ve no feedback for that. Anyhow, everything was great and I would love to go back next year if I can manage it with my job.

The teachers are very friendly, act like partners and consider everybody individually. We learned in small groups up to 6 students.
During the lessons there was always a pleasant atmosphere with a sense of humor. You could ask questions at any time.

The language lessons were very well structured starting with an easy warming up to get into the language, then followed by the more complicated structures and at the end listening and pronunciation of the polish letters and words. The more complicated structures were given to us in a very clear and step by step way. The lessons were interesting, it was never boring. The teachers have always motivated and supported us in learning Polish.This language is not an easy language to learn. But for me it was a real pleasure to be at school and to spend my time with the teachers and the other students in the class.

I have a proposal: We were always getting copies to fill in the right sentences and words. I would pay more for the course and then receive workbooks to read and fill in and to take home.

There were hardly any school activities to take part in the afternoon or evening. But I myself had enough ideas to spend my time in beautiful Sopot. I went swimming in the sea nearly every day and did at a lot of other interesting things.

The room I rented was very nice and in a beautiful area of Sopot. My landlord and landlady were very friendly and helpful.

The school was excellent to learn Polish. I have been there for three weeks, five hours a day. My class consists of 5 students so an intensive learning was guaranteed. The teachers were absolutely perfect and I am so happy that I took the chance to learn at this school! The teachers has considered the level of every student. Everything was explained in detail and in a way that I will never forget! GREAT! And the school is at the heart of Sopot. It is directly located at the train station. The distance to the beach is 800 meters, you can reach it by foot- GREAT!

I went in with low expectations but ended up enjoying my time far more than I could have ever imagined! The classrooms were cozy and the teachers gave more personalized education since there weren't too many people in the group. I didn't attend the activities but saw that there was something for every single day after school if you wanted. The school is near the city center, just a few minutes walking distance away from the railway station to Gdansk and Gdynia.

The first week was the best week. Our teacher, Malvina (not sure I'm spelling that correctly), was very motivated. She covered a lot of ground with us. The lessons were interesting, the pace was high so that I studied extra after classes. This way our skills grew rapidly. I stayed in Sopot that week, which was ideal. The beach nearby, school around the corner. I made some new friends, mostly Germans, and we shared some great moments.

During the second week I stayed in Gdansk, which was a twenty minute commute, but it wasn't a big deal as it was still close. The school was close to the train station, and the tickets were cheap. Gdansk is a beautiful city worth visiting. I had a great stay there too. When I return though, I think I will stay in Sopot the entire time. We had a different teacher, Kasia (same deal with the spelling), who was nice. Classes were slower, and she found her motivation by the second to last day which could have been better.

Overall I am happy with the school.

My teacher, Paulina Jakubowska (I believe that is her last name) was excellent. She kept the class lively, fast-paced (but made sure we understood all of the material), and interesting. The field trips the school offered were excellent. I had a wonderful experience and recommend this school highly.

My teacher was superb. What I liked most was the flexibility in terms of being able to set your own program. I needed something exactly matched to my Polish level, and focusing on reading and writing only. This turned out to be no problem, and I was very grateful for it.

The efforts made for social activities were definitely appreciated too.
