Intensive Polish course online – when you have an important deadline

When to choose the intensive mode

The intensive course is for people who have little time and a lot of motivation – and who can also devote the time between lessons to study. Typical situations: in a few months you are moving to Poland and want to arrive with the basics; you are starting work in a Polish team; you have a free month and want to use it for a big leap. If you are preparing for an exam and are already close to B1, the B1 sprint may be a simpler choice.

How many lessons a week make sense

Most often 3–5 lessons a week work well. More rarely speeds up learning, because the brain needs time to consolidate new words and forms – and without revision between lessons an intensive course turns into quick forgetting.

What a week of the course looks like

Each lesson lasts 50 minutes and has a different goal, so that the week does not consist of five identical classes. Explanations are in Polish, English, Russian or Spanish.

How to revise between lessons

With several lessons a week, revision is just as important as the lesson itself. Short daily portions work best instead of one long session at the weekend:

• 10 minutes in the morning – words from the previous lesson, preferably in sentences, not in an isolated list: not just zmiana, but Jutro mam zmianę od szóstej.
• One written task – a few sentences that you send to the teacher or bring to the lesson.
• Background listening – Polish radio or a podcast on your way to work, even if you understand little.

The intensive course plan

1. A trial lesson with a diagnosis – your level, deadline, goal and the real number of hours per week.
2. A plan by weeks – what is to be mastered in which week and how we will check it.
3. Lessons according to the plan with a short daily task.
4. A check every few weeks – whether the pace is right or whether we need to slow down or speed up.
5. Moving to a normal rhythm – after you reach your goal you can continue in private lessons or in a group.

Good to know: we do not promise a level “in 30 days”. The pace depends on your starting point, your mother tongue and the time you have for revision. You get a realistic forecast after the trial lesson, and you will find approximate ranges in our guide to study time for B1.

What the intensive course includes

• Several individual lessons a week according to a plan built around your deadline.
• Short daily tasks and materials online.
• Questions to the teacher via WhatsApp – at an intensive pace this is especially important.
• A monthly progress report.
