seeking advice for language learning
Hi everyone,
I recently met some people from Poland and the truth is that I’d like to visit it sometime. I’m young, but I have big plans to travel across Europe, and I believe the best way to experience a country is to speak the language and connect with the locals. Plus, my new job has some Polish connections, so I’m motivated to learn for both personal and professional reasons!
As this would be my first Slavic language, i’m making this post to seek for advice…
My background:
Languages: Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I understand some French but can't speak it well.
My Progress: I’ve been using Duolingo for vocabulary and watching YouTube lessons.
Budget: I’m looking for free resources for now, but I’m open to hearing about paid options/teachers for the future when they become more viable for me.
My questions:
Where should a complete beginner start with the grammar (since I know it's famous for being tricky)?
Are there any specific YouTube channels or apps that worked best for you?
Are there any "must-know" tips for someone coming from Romance languages?
Dziękuję!
