First-Year Polish III

Undergraduate / Graduate

This course is the final level in the elementary sequence. It strengthens students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while expanding their knowledge of contemporary Polish culture. Using a communicative, focus-on-form approach, the course introduces essential grammar and vocabulary to prepare students for intermediate-level study. By the end of the course, students will be able to express basic needs and emotions, make simple requests (e.g., asking for directions, booking accommodations, buying tickets), ask and answer simple questions, and participate in brief exchanges on familiar topics. They will use practiced words, phrases, and simple sentences to express likes and dislikes and describe everyday situations. Students will also explore how Polish language and culture connect to daily life and social practices, gaining confidence interacting with native speakers accustomed to language learners.
