Polish for Teens: Beyond the Kitchen Table

By this level, most heritage teens have real confidence with spoken Polish — they understand almost everything and can hold a conversation at home without a second thought. What's usually behind that: grammar accuracy that hasn't caught up, especially the case system and verb aspect, and reading/writing skills that lag further still, particularly anything formal or academic. This course doesn't start from scratch — it builds on the fluency your teen already has, while deliberately closing those specific gaps.

Ten weeks move from the everyday — school, family, food, travel, hobbies — into territory heritage speakers rarely get exposed to at home: forming and defending an opinion, reading an adapted text on Polish history or tradition, and writing something formal, like an email to a teacher or relative. Grammar builds one case at a time (genitive, locative, accusative, dative) instead of all at once, and speaking, listening, reading, and writing all move together throughout — no single skill left to catch up on its own.

Each 50-minute class opens with new language and a grammar point, works it through structured practice, then puts it to real use — a role play, a short discussion, a piece of writing. Homework stays light, 10–15 minutes a week. The course ends with each student giving a short presentation on a topic of their choice, a group reflection on how far they've come since week one, and a certificate to mark it.
