Polish Language Holiday Weekends in Krakow (Cracow). Introduction to Polish Language & Tours of Krakow offered by Cracovia Academy of Polish Language in Krakow (Cracow).

Our three day Krakow Language weekends will teach you basic survival Polish for beginners and are designed so that you will be out and about the town fun rather than only spending time in the confines of a classroom.

Survival Polish Language Weekends Main Title

A fun way to learn basic Polish and to tour and experience historic Krakow for groups of two or more!

Polish is not an easy language to learn but it is great fun to learn in a group and in real life situations. Our three day Krakow Language Weekends will teach you basic survival Polish for beginners and are designed so that you will be out on the town having fun rather than only spending time in a classroom. We like to describe this course as 'survival Polish with a twist' - how to say please and thank you, understand numbers, order a beer, decipher a menu and much more. The twist is how we teach you....

Polish Language School Building in Krakow (Cracow)

The three day Polish language weekend includes approximately 8 hours of survival level basic Polish language instruction with an experienced Polish language instructor and activities designed to help you practice your Polish in practical and fun everyday and not so everyday situations.

In the evening you'll be taken on a introductory guided walk around the old town of Krakow and then to a well known local restaurant for a delicious Polish dinner, including 3 courses, wine or beer, dessert and tea/coffee.

On both Friday and Saturday, after breakfeast (your choice of Polish, Continental or English) you will spend 3 hours each day enjoying a series of practical Polish language lessons on the old town with your Polish instructor and guide. We'll start you off gently with a walk around the old town of Krakow, learning the names of various important historical places and practicing Polish whilst ordering a coffee or beer or perhaps asking directions from a kindly looking local. Together with a basic Polish phrase book, maps and with your own Polish language guide, you will explore the wonders of historic Krakow.
