The Varia Polish Language Center

The Varia Polish Language Center from the beginning has concentrated only on teaching Polish as a foreign language.

Over the 11 years of our existence we have become a meeting place for people from more than 80 countries. Hard-working businessmen, children of Polish emigrants, people searching for their Polish roots and all kinds of Polish language enthusiasts have found at our school their path to master the Polish language and to get to know the beauty of our country.

We offer Polish courses at all levels of proficiency and various degrees of intensity: semester classes and intensive two-week (combined with a cultural programme and accommodation) and three-week courses , as well as individual and business Polish lessons.

We believe that the most important reason for learning a language is to use it in practice. Our students learn vocabulary and grammar that is relevant and useful, and we make sure that they have plenty of opportunity for free-flowing conversation during their lessons… in Polish, of course!

All the lessons, including those for complete beginners, are conducted exclusively in Polish. This teaching method produces surprisingly fast results, and that, in turn, greatly increases the students’ motivation to learn. The groups generally comprise students of various nationalities, and Polish is often the only “common” language among all the students.

Our groups are small, which helps to create a warm and friendly atmosphere. We also organise outdoor lessons and conversation meetings in Krakow’s bars and cafes. Together with our students, we watch Polish films, celebrate Christmas Eve and Easter, tell fortunes on St.Andrew’s night, make the famous dish, pierogi…
