Hi I am learning Polish but I’ve concern that people in katowice speaks with accent or not? Or how often or how many percent of people? Sometimes I don’t understand if people speaks polish so fast, sometimes I understand a lot, so depends of the person.In that case should I be worry that generally it is harder to understand people who lives in katowice against to other regions?

Hello!

I am a native Polish speaker however I moved to a different country when I was very young. I am currently a student and for a project I decided to improve my Polish, since it's so important to me. My writing is my biggest weakness, reading too but I find it much easier. I speak pretty well, everyday with my family however I really want to balance out my proficiency as I would love to engage more deeply in this language, comfortably reading books and writing anything I wish.

I was wondering, does anyone have any tips in making writing sound more sophisticated and advanced, really separating it from everyday, conversational Polish? Is there any books, authors which someone could recommend in developing a richer vocabulary overall as well, as that is another struggle of mine and I would love to expand it.

Any personal experience tips are also welcome, has anyone worked on improving their own Polish, living in another country?

Thanks for reading and once again, I would appreciate any tips! :)

Hello, folks! So I learned about the prepositions na and do and I don't know precisely when to apply which. Both seem to express movement towards something.

First thing I noticed is that with countries, regions, cities, and people, you only use do (do Polski, do Śląska, do Wrocławia, do matki, etc. ) Did I understand that correctly?

Then there are other places (like within cities). And sometimes you use do and sometimes na. At first I thought do is used with locations and na with events or happenings (do muzeum na wystawę, do restaurancji na obiad, do filharmonii na koncert, do apteki, etc.). But this doesn't seem to be completely true, because then I saw na uniwersytet na konferencję and na dyskotekę. Those examples violate the principle do with locations and na with events.

So is there a rule, or do I have to remember for every noun if it's used with do or na?

Za wasz pomoc dziękuję bardzo!

Hi friends!

I am actively trying to get better at reading and feel like books or physical media would help me lots with learning.

Does anyone know some good bookstores in Netherlands that sell books in Polish?
