FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE WORDS IN THIS PROGRAM THEN PLEASE PURCHASE THE AUDIO VERSION.
Have you always wanted to learn how to speak Polish but simply didn’t have the time? Well if so, then, look no further. You can hold in your hands one of the most advanced and revolutionary method that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the twenty-seven most common languages in the world and distilling from them the three hundred and fifty words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These three hundred and fifty words were chosen in such a way that they were structurally interrelated and, when combined, form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work—discoveries that are detailed further in this book—Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant—now. If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules or to speak perfectly proper and precise Polish, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to Poland, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is what you have been looking for. This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the present tense. Nitzany believes that what’s most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can come later. You will notice in this program that occasionally the endings of certain Polish words change slightly depending on different cases. However, since this is not a grammar book, this program will not teach you these skills, nor will it teach you the nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, or instrumental cases. The only thing this book offers are the necessary tools to become conversational in a foreign language in record time. As previously stated, though, with regards to grammar and pronunciation, you are on your own! This is one of the several, in a series of instructional language guides, the Nitzany Method’s revolutionary approach is the only one in the world that uses its unique language technology to actually enable you to speak and understand native speakers in the shortest amount of time possible. No more depending on volumes of books of fundamental, beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, all with hundreds of pages in order to learn a language. With Conversational Polish Quick and Easy, all you need are forty-six pages. Learn Polish today, not tomorrow, and get started now!

About the author
Yatir Nitzany
189 books4 followersFor many years I struggled to learn Spanish, and still knew no more than about 20 words and consequently was extremely frustrated. One day I stumbled upon this method as I was laying around with word combinations. Suddenly I came to the realization that every language has a certain core group of words that are most commonly used in a language, and simply by learning them, one could gain ability to engage in fluent communication.
I discovered which those words were, narrowed them down to 350, and that once memorized, one could then connect and create one's own sentences. THE VARIATIONS WERE and ARE, INFINITE!!! By using this incredibly simple technique I could converse at a proficient level and speak Spanish. Within a week I astonished my Spanish speaking friends with my new found ability. The next semester I registered at my university for a Spanish Speaking Course and I applied the same principles I learned in that class (grammar, additional vocabulary, future and past tense, etc.) to those 350 words I already had memorized and immediately I felt as if I had grown wings and learned how to fly. At the end of the semester we took a class trip to San José, Costa Rica. I was like a fish in water, while the rest of my classmates were floundering and still struggling to converse.
Throughout the following months I again applied the same principle to other languages, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Arabic all of which I now speak proficiently thanks to this very simple technique. This method is by far the fastest way to master fluent conversation. There is no other technique that compares to my concept. It is effective, it worked for me and it will work for you. Be consistent with my program and you too will succeed the way I and many, many others have.

Nothing revolutionary here. Basically, the author teaches high-frequency words and demonstrates how they can be cobbled together to make sentences. However, Polish, with its notoriously hard grammar, will make you sound like a caveman if you try to do that. The book does not teach grammar.
I "blitzed" this using Kindle and the Audible app. More on my Bimodal Blitz method: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...

Five stars for what this book is.
Yatir Nitzany has researched several languages and collected a sort of frequency list of some 350-400 words from all of those languages, and then he uses what he calls "the mirror method" - building simple a+b+c sentences using those common words. He has chosen his words very well, I think, and he has tested his method in his own life and language studies.
He has divided these words into some 20 "lessons" with about 15-20 words in each, and you are to learn perfectly the words and be able to play with them and form sentences with them easily, until you move to the next group of a dozen words. It's like building blocks, with every lesson you can build more and bigger structures, and everything you learn is useful and supports more learning and understanding.
He has written a "book" of each of these languages, all of them use the same frame, but he also gives some additional tidbits about each language and the usage of them.
For example:
"When asking a question, czy is usually placed at the beginning of the sentence to indicate the case of “do” “do we?”, “do you?”, “does he?” etc. However, native Polish speakers usually don’t use the czy case."
or "Ci is the “indirect object pronoun” of the pronoun, i.e. the person who is actually affected by the action that is being carried out."
For Norwegian he gives among others these pieces of information:
"In Norwegian, “don’t” comes after the verb: “I don’t need” / jeg trenger ikke." and
"In Norwegian, you would say “to make breakfast” and not “to prepare breakfast.”
Because of this, I trust him and his small books.
I was also thoroughly impressed by his attention to the pronunciation. He spends a good amount of time explaining the alphabet and phonology of the language, gives good, easily understood examples, and makes sure you get this bit first, so that when you get to learning words, you can actually pronounce them correctly from the first moment. That is so helpful and important, I think.
It is very simple, but surprisingly effective! You will get a solid, good base to build on. Of course you won't be fluent - with only 350 words! - but you will be able to communicate.
"NOTE TO THE READER
The purpose of this book is merely to enable you to communicate in Polish.
In the program itself you may notice that the composition of some of those sentences might sound rather clumsy. This is intentional.
These sentences were formulated in a specific way to serve two purposes:
to facilitate the easy memorization of the vocabulary
and to teach you how to combine the words in order to form your own sentences for quick and easy communication,
rather than making complete literal sense in the English language.
So keep in mind that this is not a phrase book!"
