How much can you learn in a month? I work for a magazine, which was doing an article about British language learners. As an experiment, they asked me to learn a completely new language for one month. Then I had to go to the country and do some tests' to see if I could survive' in different situations. I decided to learn Polish because my great-grandmother was Polish and I have some relatives there. I can already speak French and Spanish quite well but Polish isn't a Latin-based language so I knew it would be completely different. I did a one-month intensive course at a language school in Birmingham. I thought i was good at E languages before I started learning Polish, but now I'm not so sure. I found it incredibly difficult. The grammar was really complicated and the words were not like any other language I know so it was very hard to remember them. For example, 1 thought football' was more or less an international word, but in Polish it's pilka nożna, And the pronunciation is unbelievable! Every word is full of z's where you don't expect them, like jezdzisz which means you go'. My course finished yesterday and I'm going to Kraków for the weekend to do my tests. A local guide called Kasia is coming with me and Is going to give me a mark out of 10. ​
